Gps event.errorMessage

Hardware (GPS, accelerometer, etc.)
#1

Hello, im having some trouble with the errorMessage event.

this is the code:

if event.errorCode then native.setActivityIndicator( false ) native.showAlert( "GPS Location Error","turn on location data", {"OK"} , onCloseApp) end

but i only get the error if i have location data on and then decline access from the app. However if i turn location data off completely i get a message saying something like “turn on location data for your app to work” with the options “go to location data” “cancel”

If i press cancel at this point i dont get the error. Why?

Hi Jonathan,

Which system (device) are you running on?

Hi, Brent

Since I have been testing this with Jonathan, I know the answer.

We have been trying with iPhone4 and 4S. (I think it is 6.13 on both devices…)

It seems to be different when you have the app-setting on or off, and then turn the overall setting for location services on or off…

Hi @jentso,

I think you need to check the value of the error code depending on your “case”. A “non-nil” condition may be returned if location services are off. Please see what kind of results you’re getting for “.errorCode” in the different conditional cases.
