Codename One app not provide real location

问题

in out app we have a module where you can send time records with GPS location.

In 40% of cases we have location problem because the module provides a location which is not real (sometime about 1 km away).

When we have this cases we open Google Maps app and it give us perfect location, then again out app and not-real location.

For getting the location we use this:

Slider s1 = new Slider();
Dialog dlg = makeDialog("HIGH PRECISION LOCATION...", s1, null, 'a');
dlg.addShowListener((ActionListener) e -> {

    LocationManager locationManager = LocationManager.getLocationManager();                
    locationManager.setLocationListener(this, new LocationRequest(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCUARCY, 500));

    loc = locationManager.getCurrentLocationSync(20000);

    dlg.dispose();
    if(loc == null) {
        Slider s2 = new Slider();
        Dialog dlg2 = makeDialog("GETTING LAST KNOWN LOCATION...", s2, "OK", 'a');
        dlg2.addShowListener((ActionListener) e2 -> {
            loc = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation();

            if(loc == null) {
                // location not found
                Dialog.show("Attenzione!", "Posizione non trovata. E' consigliato di spostarsi all'aperto. "
                        + "Tuttavia è possibile inviare la timbratura anche senza coordinate.", "Ok", null);
            } else {
                paintLocation(loc, GPSStateOn);
            }
        });
        dlg2.show();
    } else {
        paintLocation(loc, GPSStateOn);
    }

});
dlg.show();

@Override
public void locationUpdated(final Location location) {

    switch (LocationManager.getLocationManager().getStatus()) {
        case LocationManager.AVAILABLE:
            GPSStateOn = true;
            break;
        case LocationManager.OUT_OF_SERVICE:
            GPSStateOn = false;
            break;                
        case LocationManager.TEMPORARILY_UNAVAILABLE:
            GPSStateOn = false;                 
            break;                
    }

    if(loc != null) {
        paintLocation(loc,GPSStateOn);
        System.out.println("-----LATITUDINE: " + loc.getLatitude());
        System.out.println("-----LONGITUDINE: " + loc.getLongitude());
    }
}

We also have added the buil hint android.playService.location = true

ADDED 25/04/2020 11:58 I forgot to say that about 40% of cases it arrives at "GETTING LAST KNOWN LOCATION..." and then give perfect real location. Android build hints:

last one is cutted... value is:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/> <uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES"/><uses-feature         android:glEsVersion="0x00020000"         android:required="true"/><uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"/><uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" android:required="false"/>

Maybe this can be useful: I noticed when the location takes a lot the GPS icon isn't displayed in the topbar

And when it takes less time the GPS icon is visible

回答1:

Looking again at the code I noticed you used set location listener and getCurrentLocationSync which are mutually exclusive in this case. You need to pick one. If you give the former (which is the preferred way) enough time to work it should give you an accurate location. Notice the GPS position sometimes needs a couple of seconds for the initial reading.
