[davemorris]

Hi Can someone help

Up to a few hours ago code worked great and now it crashes

with
Successfully connected to location services. Getting last known location...
Error occurred on line: 250 (clsLocation)
java.lang.SecurityException: uid 10535 does not have any of [android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION].

To me this would suggestion a problem with the permissions in the manifest file - see below (line 40 has the permission)

'This code will be applied to the manifest file during compilation.
'You do not need to modify it in most cases.

As I said this all worked up to a few hours ago.

Kind regards

To request Permission you have to use Runtimeppermissions.

android.jar / targetSdkVersion / minSdkVersion

There are several versioned components that affect the compilation process and the runtime behavior of our apps. The purpose of this tutorial is to explain the differences between them and help you choose which version to use. Each Android version is mapped to an api level. You can see this...

Hi DonManfred

Thanks for the input. Fortunately, I have already implemented the requirements for the Runtimepermissions in code but it dates back to 2019. However, the basic mistake was I removed the code handling run time permissions by accident.

However, re-reading through release notes it a good thing as refreshes your knowledge and in this case helped me go straight to a fix for the problem.

Thanks again
Dave
p.s. I have made a small donation for your help.
