Android (Event Capture): GPS coordinates are not stored in the events

Support - Assistance technique

Hi Araz,

I’m not 100% sure if this is a problem of the app but it seems like that. Each time I try to get the coordinates I’m getting the following message (using 0.5.8 and 0.5.9 releases):

The set up of my device is (and it works well with google maps):

If it is due to an app problem… could it be possible to fix?

Many thanks

Hi Jose

Fixed in this version here.

I suppose you are using a different apk.

Hi Ranga,

Yes, I was using the APKs from github (same link). However, it didn’t work for me using 0.5.8 and 0.5.9.

Thanks!

Hi Araz,

do you have any news about this?

We can not get the GPS coordinates using these devices (don’t know if they are related with the problem or not):

  • Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 (with android 4.4.2)

  • Samsung Galaxy S3 (with android 4.2.2). This one is a virtual device

Many thanks

Jose

Hi Jose,

We have tested GPS functionality in event capture (on 4.2 and 4.4) recently and did not manage to reproduce the problem. Have you been testing application on real device indoors? On emulator, you need to send GPS updates to operating system by hand (through special controls of emulator).

Could you please try to test 0.6.0 which was recently released?

https://github.com/dhis2/dhis2-android-eventcapture/releases/tag/0.6.0

Best regards,

Hi,

I’ve had the same with my Samsung Note4 - all geo-location based apps work fine except DHIS2, where I always only 0.0, 0.0 no matter where I am (both GPS and cell-town location services are ON).

All other devices I’ve encountered is working fine…

Regards
