If you read that example thread you will find

FusedLocationProvider + Resolution Dialog

** This is the only option to enable location services from inside your app. ** Example was updated and is based on B4XPages. Don't miss: 1. ShowResolutionDialog sub that is added to Main. It needs to be added to the activity that hosts B4XPages. 2. #AdditionalJars in Main. 3. Manifest editor...

Your SDK is probably out of date. Update to B4A 11.80 as well if you haven't already.

 

[samikinikar]

Thank you for the update, well Iam already using B4A 11.80, the SDK once again download and replaced. then too same error.
Anyway I will check if any other things are missing from my end.

I just tried the example and get the same error as you on Android 12, 1 ands .1 phones. Looks like something has broken the Fused Location library as I am certain that my B4A installation and SDK are correct.

The error is within the library itself and as far as I can see nothing to do with B4A and may be a dependency problem. I also note that it depends on the GPS library for its LocationWrapper class - whether this is part of the problem I have no idea.

is this independent from the targetsdk setting in the manifest file?
just running on Android 12 triggers it?

As I have now typed correctly in my post above I have seen it in Android 12, 11 and 8.1 phones so I think it's a library incompatibility problem with something in the present SDK.

I just checked one app of mine, that's using FLP on Android 11 and 12, and it runs correctly
I'm using android-30 as platform in SDK
How can I check my SDK version? I surely downloaded it from the B4A page, but I'm not sure it's the current one, since some time has passed

Interesting. Have you recompiled it lately?

How can I check my SDK version

I don't know without just downloading a new one into a different folder and comparing it as when you unzip the SDK all the modified date are changed

 

[Alessandro71]

I just downloaded the FLP2 example from the first post, compiled and run it correctly on an Android 11 device
platform-tools from my SDK are the same as the ones just re-downloaded from the B4A installation page
I use C:\Android\platforms\android-30\android.jar in my path and that jar is the same as the installation page package
All the files in my C:\Android have timestamp 30/8/2020 as the ones in the zip package

 

[Alessandro71]

I also downloaded again command line tools and resources zip
FLP2 compiled and run without issues on Android 11 & 12 devices
B4A 11.8

I downloaded a new SDK, unzipped it with 7-Zip and still get the error. I've no idea why it works for you and not me. What version of FusedLocationProvider library does the library tab in the IDE show - mine is 1.31.

 

[samikinikar]

Just a quick update, I downloaded the new library from https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/fusedlocationprovider.50614/#content and replaced it with 1.31 and its working perfectly now.

 

[agraham]

Sorry but that's not clear. Which post did you download it from in that thread and what is the version number that works?

 

[agraham]

Ah! The problem lay between keyboard and seat. Turns out I had an earlier library version, not 1.31 as I thought. It works now with 1.31.

 

[samikinikar]

The project is downloaded from : https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/fusedlocationprovider-resolution-dialog.111652
Library downloaded from : https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/fusedlocationprovider.50614/#content
The fusedlocationprovider Version is : 1.31
No change in manifest, default program executes without any issues.
