I'm baffled. I have 2 apps which I'm working on, both doing similar things, grabbing and parsing GPS data. One version seems to automatically switch on the GPS service, looks for a signal and determines position. Android Studio is happy with this. The second version, where I have used the same code, Android Studio raises an error will not compile and suggests asking the user to switch on the GPS. I can't understand what I've done different. For version 2, I'd prefer it to function like version 1.
Thanks for any advice.

So I been trying to get my first Wear Os watch face published But when I submit I keep it keeps getting rejected. I only lightly changed the Sample Android studio provides nothing much changed but the background and the way the hands move.
I keep getting this.
I really do not know why it keeps getting rejected. I make sure it works for both square and round wear OS.
I keep getting this message
Step 1: Fix the eligibility issue with your app
During review, we detected the following eligibility issue and were unable to accept your app for Wear OS:
The basic functionality of your app does not work as described in App Bundle
Wear OS functionality should work as expected or as described in the app's Google Play Store listing. Please make sure to test your app on a variety of Wear OS devices and configurations.
For example, Hours and Minutes hands are not placed in the center of the watch face on Square Device. as shown/described on the store listing.
I really don't know what to do because I have appealed twice. I asked is it because I am moving the arrows differently. I get the same generic response.
Thank you all for the questions and comments.
I did test the application on sq watches.
And same results I got.
Things started changing when I added a circle into the middle of the screen and that ended up being allowed as center. I have no idea why that would matter I knew it was already centered.
Thanks all.
I am trying to develop an app which auto receive calls from particular numbers.
Like i can add the numbers that i want to auto receive. I did a lot of research and found similar questions but none of them worked. Some codes did work but only upto kitkat version and code did not work on versions above kitkat. I want the code that support all android versions. Its very important for me so please answer quickly. I really need your help.
I want the app to work in background so also please help me and write the code to implement this in a background service.
I was successful to run the app on versions upto kitkat but above kitkat the code does not work.
Android very specifically does NOT allow this, because doing so is an opening to a lot of telephone scams involving reversed charges. They've actually never allowed it, but people found hacks on old versions to get around that. Every time Google finds one of these, they shut it down in the next version. So there is no reliable way to do it, and if you find a way expect it to disappear shortly afterwards.
When I develop my application with citymaps service to load a base map, I have serval questions as follows：
When I sync the project with grade file，android studio prompt that mini-sdk version no smaller than 15，so I must change mini-sdk to 15，why？
Atfer I sync your gradle file in my project，the software does not prompt the error，but when I run the application，the library is not found and the
software give me tips to add the library to the classpath，why is it so？
I want to locate the current position，Whether or not I need to get my position's latitude and longitude set to the method that you provider in your api reference? Does any method directly to locate the current position? Please tell me where is it? thanks!
When I load the map with the newest method like this:
CitymapsMapFragment fragment = (CitymapsMapFragment)fragmentManager.findFragmentById(R.id.map);
the map is loading very well but does't show an arrow in my current position，if I create my map with additional options，setContentView(mapView). When the map is loading out I can find an arrow in that position. Why is it so？
I am a developer on the Citymaps SDK. I will do my best to answer all your questions
1) Yes, the Citymaps SDK does require a minimum SDK version of 15 (a.k.a Ice Cream Sandwich). We made this decision based off of the APIs we wanted to use as well as the usage statistics of various Android versions (roughly 95% of Android users worldwide are running SDK 15 and higher).
2) If you are including the Citymaps project using gradle's sync, you shoud have no problems building and running our library. Make sure to double check your gradle string. If you still receive and error, it would be helpful to see the stack trace.
3) If the location services are not being triggered on startup, you can try calling fragment.getMapView().startUpdatingLocation(). This should force the system to start tracking your GPS position.
4) Answer to #3 should solve this
Let me know if you have any follow ups. Thank you for trying our SDK, and we hope you can make great use of it.
I am a noob to Android (and Java). I have successfully setup Eclipse and the Android Virtual Device (AVD). I am guessing the AVD's Target is the version of Android to be emulated, but I want to make sure. I am trying to develop something for my Droid X2 phone.
As such...
Which AVD Target is the right one for a Droid X2?
Is there an online list someplace explaining each Target?
...I have Googled both unsuccessfully.
Thank you for the help.
According to motorolas website, the Droid X2 ships with Android 2.2 (api level 8).
I'm not sure if there are any updates rolled out yet, so consider this the lowest version you will get for this device.
So target 2.2. or lower.
But just a general advice: If you want to ship your app to other people, it's usually best to target the broadest audience. So I recommend going for 1.6 as a target, that will still run on your phone. You can start to raise the target version when you notice that you need a certain feature (can be easily done from the "project properties" dialog inside eclipse in 5 seconds). If you don't seem to need any higher api features, you are way more compatible to many more devices this way.
Edit: To the targets. See Android API levels. Clicking on a version takes you to the changelog. Theres info whats new. Also notice that anything below and equal 2.3.3 is a phone os at the moment. Anything equal or above 3.0 is a tablet os.
I'm trying to write some apps using wikitude, and I'm having some problems running even the example.
I've put the sample ( BasicOpenARDemo ) that comes with the SDK inside eclipse and tried to run it, where I encountered the next error: "wikitude was not found on the system. Please press the ok-button to access the Android market and download wikitude."
First question- I don't understand- Why am I approached to download the utility when I have a standalone sample inside my eclipse? Doesn't the core files behind Wikitude come with the SDK or the sample itself?
The next question will be - after some googling, I've found that in order to install this "Android market" I need to follow the manual that comes in the 9th message in the next thread (the message that was written by ronni.rasmussen) -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-529170.html
Well, I've followed it, and now when I try to press the OK button that comes after the "wikitude was not found on the system..." message, I get redirected to the Android market, where I find Wikitude, but when I try to download it- I get a "Download was unsuccessful. Please try again" error message. How do I fix that?
One more thing that I don't understand- How come it's written in this offline Android market that the available wikitude version is for android 1.5 and no longer maintained?
As you can see- I'm quite baffled here. Hope someone could clear this up for me.
I was with the exact same problem. The problem was that installing Wikitude from the market (following the link you provided) does not guarantee to have the system requirements supported in the virtual device, therefore it gives an error when you run the BasicOpenARDemo, if it let you install it at all.
The solution was creating an AVD with an GoogleAPI (it includes maps support, I used the level 10 API for Android 2.3.3, it didn't work for the level 8 API), adding the camera, accelerometer, compass, GPS, etc., support to the virtual device (I did this via Eclipse). Then I downloaded the .apk for Wikitude and installed it via command line (.adb).
