Has GPS been sorted out yet?

Post by BarrySumpter » Fri Feb 17, 2012 9:28 pm

Hi all,
I want to write an app that will allow my bike riding friends to find me and only me.
I want to send my GPS location to to them via an app I want to write in LiveCode for Android, then for iOS.

Anyone know if LiveCode can retrieve the GPS location from Android yet?
All my best,
Barry G. Sumpter

Hi,

LiveCode 5.0.2 has no access to GPS features on Android.

Kind regards,

If its soon I'll hold off.
Otherwise, I'll continue.
