Android GPS ACCURACY_HIGH causes force close?
android
Solution
The android Criteria has two separate groups of accuracy constants. `ACCURACY_FINE` and `ACCURACY_COARSE` are for general location, while `ACCURACY_LOW`, `ACCURACY_MEDIUM`, and `ACCURACY_HIGH` "may be used for horizontal, altitude, speed or bearing accuracy." If you are talking about general GPS location you should use coarse or fine.
Problem
I am working on a GPS portion and for criteria, I can set the accuracy to ACCURACY_FINE, ACCURACY_MEDIUM etc. However, for some reason I keep getting a force close error If i set it the Criteria to ACCURACY_HIGH. any ideas on what might be causing it? Heres my Manifest, im pretty sure everything is ok, since I am able to use different Criterias: ``` <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_CHECKIN_PROPERTIES" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE" /> ``` Here are my logs: ``` 07-05 08:51:48.641: W/dalvikvm(1040): threadid=1: thread exiting with uncaught exception (group=0x40015578) 07-05 08:51:48.657: E/AndroidRuntime(1040): FATAL EXCEPTION: main 07-05 08:51:48.657: E/AndroidRuntime(1040): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.jetdelivery.mobile/com.jetdelivery.mobile.statuspage}: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: accuracy=3 07-05 08:51:48.657: E/AndroidRuntime(1040): at android.app.ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java:1651) 07-05 08:51:48.657: E/AndroidRuntime(1040): at android.app.ActivityThread.handleLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java:1667) 07-05 08:51:48.657: E/AndroidRuntime(1040): at android.app.ActivityThread.access$1500(ActivityThread.java:117) 07-05 08:51:48.657: E/AndroidRuntime(1040): at android.app.ActivityThread$H.handleMessage(ActivityThread.java:935) 07-05 08:51:48.657: E/AndroidRuntime(1040): at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:99) 07-05 08:51:48.657: E/AndroidRuntime(1040): at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:130) 07-05 08:51:48.657: E/AndroidRuntime(1040): at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:3687) 07-05 08:51:48.657: E/AndroidRuntime(1040): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invokeNative(Native Method) 07-05 08:51:48.657: E/AndroidRuntime(1040): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:507) 07-05 08:51:48.657: E/AndroidRuntime(1040): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run(ZygoteInit.java:842) 07-05 08:51:48.657: E/AndroidRuntime(1040): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:600) 07-05 08:51:48.657: E/AndroidRuntime(1040): at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method) 07-05 08:51:48.657: E/AndroidRuntime(1040): Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: accuracy=3 07-05 08:51:48.657: E/AndroidRuntime(1040): at android.location.Criteria.setAccuracy(Criteria.java:223) 07-05 08:51:48.657: E/AndroidRuntime(1040): at com.jetdelivery.mobile.statuspage.onCreate(statuspage.java:125) 07-05 08:51:48.657: E/AndroidRuntime(1040): at android.app.Instrumentation.callActivityOnCreate(Instrumentation.java:1047) 07-05 08:51:48.657: E/AndroidRuntime(1040): at android.app.ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java:1615) 07-05 08:51:48.657: E/AndroidRuntime(1040): ... 11 more ``` I am developing using Android 2.3.5 firmware.
