Problems with using location

[hsh_636]

Im trying to come up with an app that requires getting the latitude and longitude I tried using Compass-2.rev as an example which is found on live code website just google Compass-2.rev next to live code, and then tested it on samsung galaxy s3 everything worked except finding the location and when I click the button test for support it displays location not supported, if anybody can help me with this problem because I`ve been trying to solve it for three days now, but I still can't pinpoint the problem.

Hiu hsh_636,

here is the stack in question:
http://lessons.runrev.com/s/lessons/m/4 ... al-compass

1. welcome to the forum!

2. Not sure what the problem is:
Does your device support MobileSensor... "location" and the script tells you no?

What about the other possible options:
heading
acceleration
rotation rate
Do they work, or the stack tells they do?


Best

Dear Hamad,

We your support request via support but it will be easier to answer your question and it will benefit other LiveCode users.

I have tested this sample stack on my Galaxy S3 and experience the issue that is occurring for you. The reason for this it that the sample stack does not have the location options checked within the stanalone applciation settings. More specifically, "Fine Location" and/or "Coarse Location"

Once these were checked, the app worked as expected on my GS3

Let us know how you get on.

Kind Regards,
