Get the current Position/location of the blackberry
Hi all
I am developing an app that tells you so to were you are in the world... the less minimalist. any ideas how to on this subject? I have searched for the API for useful method calls, have only seen class net.rim.blackberry.api.Maps.MapView. I don't think that's all that is needed.
In particular, I want to at least get the latitude and longitude of the current position of the phone. This is the main task for now. What are my options and how can I do to solve this.
Thanks in advance
Dan

BlackBerry smartphones, I can't get the Blackberry App world on my 9700?
Im trying to download Blackberry App world but I get an error message saying that my device does not support the software, this is one of the main reasons, I have had a blackberry for all applications no matter who can help please?
For your info:
I have unlimited internet with my contract, which is with T-Mobile,
I tried this download via a Wi - Fi connection and normal mobile internet and get the same message
Second question.
Ive also tried to download blackberry maps stright on my phone, it downloaded like a Ribbon named file and said that I had to restart the software complete, but I can't find the software anywhere now after reboot, any ideas anyone
Thank you
1 you have THE BlackBerry data Plan of Tmoble, not a generic unlimited internet package.
2. same deal. For BlackBerry Maps work, you must have THE BlackBerry data Plan.
You have to, to get the push email RIM works as well as services of BlackBerry data such as the Web browser, Facebook for BlackBerry, BlackBerry Messenger and much more.
Then call your carrier and you learn about to have added to your account BlackBerry data Plan.
Good luck.

For all fans of Eclipse...
I installed the BlackBerry Curve 8530 Simulator, which can be run inside BlackBerry JDE, but impossible to make it appear as one of the options under device to the Eclipse IDE. The simulators that appear in Eclipse in run configuration are 9000, 9550, 9700. I just like being in the Eclipse IDE.
Thanks... any help would be appreciated.

When I get symbol currently positions he gets them in relation to where they began on the stage.
sym.getSymbol("thesymbol").getSymbolElement () .position (.the)
How can I get their absolute position on the stage? So if 2 symbols are in the same exact position on the stage - this is the position that they will report?
Thank you
position() returns values against the parent of elements while offspring returns values from the document.
Try the shift that might solve your problem

How to get the current GPS position of the BlackBerry emulator?
Hello! all, I am writing a simple program to get the current coordinates of GPS (Latitude, Longitude) in BlackBerry.
Criteria criteria=new Criteria(); criteria.setHorizontalAccuracy(500); criteria.setVerticalAccuracy(500); LocationProvider locationProvider=LocationProvider.getInstance(criteria); Location location=locationProvider.getLocation(60); QualifiedCoordinates coordinates=location.getQualifiedCoordinates(); System.out.println("Latitude : "+coordinates.getLatitude()+" Longitude : "+coordinates.getLongitude());
But, I couldn't get the latitude and longitude. It returns 0 (zero) for the two coords.
PLS, suggest me the solution.
The 9000 Simulator has GPS simulation. In the "Simulation" of the Simulator menu, select "GPS". There is an already defined test site, you will need to select this place.

How do I get the browser permission to set the current location
I had this problem before, and it's why I keep getting of Richardson, Tx. and sometimes even close to cities. Most of the time my position shows Richardson, Tx. and when I try to detect my location I get the browser refused permission for the current location warning box.
I tried my solutions I have found on the internet, and none of them don't keep my sheet set, even after he declares that it is set. How can I get the permission of the browser set my current position (Jackson, TN)?
A lot of time, the sites asking that your location will try to determine based on your IP address, which may return strange results if your Internet connection performs the routing in other places.
You can make sure that this check box is disabled, as shown in this picture of eightforums:
But you can also set the default location to use, here:
