Retrieve a location provider by using the BlackBerryLocationProvider class
- Import the required classes.
import net.rim.device.api.gps.*;
import javax.microedition.location.*;
- Create a class and a constructor.
public class handleGPS
{
static BlackBerryCriteria myCriteria;
public handleGPS()
{
}
}
- In the constructor, create a try/catch block. In the block, create an instance of the BlackBerryCriteria class and pass the GPS mode to the constructor. Create a second try/catch block, then create an instance of the BlackBerryLocationProvider
class by invoking getInstance()
to retrieve an instance of the BlackBerryCriteria
object.
try
{
myCriteria = new BlackBerryCriteria(GPSInfo.GPS_MODE_ASSIST);
try
{
BlackBerryLocationProvider myProvider =
(BlackBerryLocationProvider)
LocationProvider.getInstance(myCriteria);
}
catch ( LocationException lex )
{
return;
}
}
catch ( UnsupportedOperationException ex )
{
return;
}
}
}
