[pm-h] GeoLocation on Android

Hi Todd:

Turned out that this was a JavaScript issue. Previously, I had been running GeoLocation when I was leaving the page. When I ran the function when the page loaded, it ran as expected.

That was a frustrating experience that consumed a couple of days of my life ... but probably learned more that I need to know about GeoLocation.

Thanks for thinking about me.

Fraser

  In the current IOS, you have to authorize each app to have access to location information. Could a similar privilege need setting on your test android device?

    Hi David:

    Thanks for responding.

    It appears to have started to work, sort of. As best I can describe, this is what is happening at the moment.

    When the request for location is made, nothing happens. (I have the lat long showing in an alert.)

    If I let the phone sit till it goes dark, then restart it, the location is shown.

    Maybe the JavaScript is not completing somehow.

    Very frustrating.

      It works alright on 4.0, I don't know about 4.1, what issues are you seeing with it?

        Hi:

        HTML5 Geolocation is working on an iPhone 4, but is not working on my Android 4. I believe all the phone's settings are correct.

        There are a lot of posts about this, but so far have been unable to find a resolution.

        Does any one have any experience with mobile Geolocation?
