Does ANYONE have 4.0.1 working with the location API on the 7520 simulator? I find it absurd that the 4.0.1 update has no installer, and requires the user to copy dozens of files by hand. I finally got to where I can compile the "gspdemo" (HA! nice QA department!) but I can't load the simulator. It complains that the locationapi library is either unavailable or duplicated, depending on how I do it.

Any help appreciated.

I'm able to compile a demo that uses location api code, and it runs on a real 7520, but in the simulated 7520 it fails with:

Brittle timestamp mismatch with 'net_rim_cldc'
Linker error: 'VerifyError' for net_rim_locationapi
Brittle timestamp mismatch with 'net_rim_cldc'
Linker error: 'VerifyError' for TestLocation
Error starting TestLocation: Brittle timestamp mismatch with 'net_rim_cldc'

I'd updated the JDE with 4.0.1 per the directions.
Any ideas???

There was a note associated with the release (somewhere - just been searching, unable to locate) that states that the location APIs ONLY work on a live device, and not in the simulator.

TokenUser - You are absolutely correct only works on live devices...this will be a pain!

dzeims, where did you get the demo and what does it allow you to do? Is this the demo that came with the install? When I compiled the demo that came with the update and ran it on my phone it said I was missing components or something like that.

Just to be clear - you know that these APIs ONLY work on a live phone, and the only phone that curretnly supports this API set is the 7520, which is Nextel only.

A lot of people are hanging out for GPS integration with other devices. Until then, you need to attach an external GPS via cable or BlueTooth.

Yes, but has anyone been able to get the demo to work on a live 7520? When I ran it on my 7520 it said I was missing modules on the phone. Maybe I didn't install those?

ok, so does this thing work in either the simulator or the device? I would like to do both, but at the moment can get neither to work. Help please...

I have a 7520, and have the jde, but can't seem to find this "locator" class..

any samples? I would love to play around.

I am using a live 7520 and am getting the Error:
Error starting SPOT: Brittle timestamp mismatch with 'net_rim_cldc'

My 7520 had no net_rim_locationapi loaded so I loaded the one from the ...\BlackBerry JDE 4.0.2\simulator\Java directory.

Any ideas as to what's happening?

Thanks!

Im sure its obvious, but update the phone's OS to 4.0.1 first.
