Hi,

I'm writing an application that needs to use GPS position, and I wrapped the logic about the GPS in a class that I call LocationManager.

When I activate the LocationManager I register with the LocationProvider, with a very small timeout.

I find that, on some devices (some 8310 and 8130), the location provider does not return a valid location until the GPS is used by another application (e.g. refreshing the location through Options->Advanced Options->GPS, or BB Maps).


Following is the code where I'm activating the LocationManager. Am I missing something?

	private final static int LOCATION_UPDATE_INTERVAL = 1;

      ...

	public void activateLocationManager() {
		try {
			locationProvider = LocationProvider.getInstance(new Criteria());
			if (locationProvider != null) {
				resetGpsDevice();
		} catch (LocationException e) {
			MyApplicationClass.log("Could not get location provider", EventLogger.ERROR);
		}
	}

	public void resetGpsDevice() {
		if (locationProvider != null) {
			locationProvider.setLocationListener(null, 0, 0, 0);
			locationProvider.reset();
			locationProvider.setLocationListener(this,
					LOCATION_UPDATE_INTERVAL, 1, 1);
		}
	}

Thanks,
Oliver
