Re: Problem simulating a location

Panos, this is solid gold as far as I’m concerned! I had no idea that mobileStartTrackingSensor would return control to the script without finishing its job, Wouldn’t it be better, since it isn’t blocking, to provide some sort of status token that could be queried by script? Thanks also for the

Re: Problem simulating a location

Hello Graham, I have done a couple of tweaks to your code, and I can now successfully read the location data from the simulator. First thing - it is not suggested to call all these 3 commands/functions in one go: mobileStartTrackingSensor mobileSensorReading() mobileStopTrackingSensor as the "m

Gents, thank you. Good advice, and I’m taking it! I will report back. Graham > On 14 Apr 2020, at 19:39, Andrew at MidWest Coast Media via use-livecode > wrote: > >> >> From: Graham Samuel >> I suppose I can try the test on a real phone, but I would rather stick to >> the simulator for now.

Re: Problem simulating a location

Hi Graham, You should really try it on the phone before knocking yourself out about why it doesn’t work on the simulator. I have found that some things involving sensors simply don’t work on the simulator. Try that, if it doesn’t work on the phone let us know. Good luck! Rick > On Apr 14, 202

Re: Problem simulating a location

Folks, I am still struggling with this. Alan Stenhouse has been kind enough to help me, but so far I have not got the simulator to simulate any kind of location information. There is a function, mobileCurrentLocation, that is supposed to return an array provided tracking is enabled and mobileSe

Re: Problem simulating a location

Hi Graham IIRC, mobileSensorReading() returns an array so you need to check the keys of the array. Perhaps: if tSensorData["latitude"] is empty then HTH cheers Alan > On Mon, 13 Apr 2020 14:38:56,Graham Samuel > wrote: > > > I?m trying to use the 10.2 XCode s

Problem simulating a location

I’m trying to use the 10.2 XCode simulator to test an iOS app that uses the phone’s ability to know its location (usually via GPS). I can run the simulation and show that it’s working in a general way. Furthermore, mobileSensorAvailable("location”) responds in the simulated app, saying the sens
