Hi,

I am also facing the problem with my blackberry. I am unable to detect the location automatically. I don't know which application I should use to detect the location. Can you help me please.

I use separate class Location Tracker that create object of Criteria and Location provider in such a way:

Criteria c= new Criteria();
c.setHorizontalAccuracy(Criteria.NO_REQUIREMENT);
c.setVerticalAccuracy(Criteria.NO_REQUIREMENT);
c.setCostAllowed(true);
c.setPreferredPowerConsumption(Criteria.POWER_USAG E_HIGH);
lp= LocationProvider.getInstance(c);
lp.setLocationListener(new MyLocationListener(), 1, 1, 1);

and this is listener code:

private class MyLocationListener implements LocationListener {
public void locationUpdated(LocationProvider provider, Location location)
{
if(location != null && location.isValid())
{
QualifiedCoordinates qc = location.getQualifiedCoordinates();

try {
LocationTracker.this.longitude = qc.getLongitude();
LocationTracker.this.latitude = qc.getLatitude();
} catch(Exception e) {
System.err.println("criccomini " + e.toString()); }
}
else
{
System.err.println("criccomini location not valid");
}
}

I made getter & setter for latitude & longitude in Location Tracker class & call methods of Location Tracker to get latitude & longitude & display on screen. But it shows me values as latitude: 0.0 & longitude: 0.0.

I got this information from net:
By default, if you are using Eclipse with a BlackBerry simulator, it will not have GPS enabled. This is because the default device for the simulator doesn't support GPS. To enable it, you must change the device in the project properties to a BlackBerry device that comes with GPS.

I am currently testing on bold 9700, torch 9800 but it shows me same result

Any one have idea why it gives latitude & longitude as 0.0
