Android Question RESOLVED - StartGPS not found

[Lee Gillie CCP]

We have not needed to work with this project for a while. Last time we did we were using B4A V9.8. Today trying to bring this up to date. We are advancing target SDK from 28 to 31. We have B4A 11.8 installed. But we are getting an error we don't understand, nor how to fix..

Sub Activity_Resume
  
    Log("******* Main.Activity_Resume: Started")
  
    Wait For (CheckProviderInstaller) complete (success As Boolean)

    lblVersion.Text = "Eljay Delivery " & Application.VersionName & " (" & Application.VersionCode & ") on " & GlobalModule.ServiceHostName & GlobalModule.Secured
    lblVersion.Enabled = True

    lblCheckInOutStatus.Text = "You are currently checked " & GlobalModule.GetSettingDefaulted(GlobalModule.CHECKIN_STATE,"OUT")

    If Starter.GPS1.GPSEnabled = False Then
        ToastMessageShow("Please enable the GPS device.", True)
        StartActivity(Starter.GPS1.LocationSettingsIntent) 'Will open the relevant settings screen.
    Else
        Starter.rp.CheckAndRequest(Starter.rp.PERMISSION_ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)
        Wait For Activity_PermissionResult (Permission As String, Result As Boolean)
        If Result Then CallSubDelayed(Starter, "StartGPS")
    End If[
/CODE]

Note: We see GPS 1.20 listed in libraries.

If Result Then CallSubDelayed(Starter, "StartGPS")

the sub StartGPS is missing in the Starterservice

Check the tutorial again and check your implementation

GPS tutorial

This example shows how to work with the GPS library. The GPS object is declared in the Starter service. It is easier to put the GPS in a service and not in an Activity as the services life cycle is simpler. When the program starts we check whether the location features are enabled: Sub...

No need for CallSubDelayed, just write.

If Result Then Starter.StartGPS

Starter service has already started when you are in activity_resume

Did not help...

These 2 subs should be present in starter service

' GNSS start
public Sub GnssStart
    If gnssStarted Then Return
    myGnss.Start(100, 0)
    gnssStarted = True
End Sub

' GNSS stop
public Sub GnssStop
    If Not( gnssStarted ) Then Return
    myGnss.Stop
    gnssStarted = False
End Sub

PS: better to use GNSS instead of GPS now.

This resolved the load error. I added the routines from the tutorial related to starting and stopping the service. It's working now, so that's is my main concern, but I still don't understand why this compiled and built before, but wont with only B4A version update.

Thanks so much for the tutorial reference and taking time to reply!!
