Hi,
I am trying to get the current location from an android device using mobileCurrentLocation(), but it seems it returns empty.

mobileSensorAvailable("location")
mobileStartTrackingSensor "location"
put mobileCurrentLocation() into theLocation

When I try to answer the result, i get nothing.
What can I do?
thank you,

It returns an array so check the keys and values of each, perhaps using an arrayToText function.

At first I thought I should do like this

answer theLocation[1]

I thought it works with only numbers. But now I understand where was my mistake

answer theLocation[latitude]

Thank you

Quote the literal string for the keys as well

answer theLocation["latitude"]

And consult the dictionary if in doubt!
