went according to this guide Phonegap Geoloactaion and got this code eventually(android):
<html>
<head>
<title>Device Properties Example</title>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="cordova-2.5.0.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-migrate-1.1.1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
// Wait for Cordova to load
//
document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
// Cordova is ready
//
function onDeviceReady() {
jQuery(window).ready(function(){
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(onSuccess, onError);
});
}
// onSuccess Geolocation
//
function onSuccess(position) {
var element = document.getElementById('geolocation');
element.innerHTML = 'Latitude: ' + position.coords.latitude + '<br />' +
'Longitude: ' + position.coords.longitude + '<br />' +
'Altitude: ' + position.coords.altitude + '<br />' +
'Accuracy: ' + position.coords.accuracy + '<br />' +
'Altitude Accuracy: ' + position.coords.altitudeAccuracy + '<br />' +
'Heading: ' + position.coords.heading + '<br />' +
'Speed: ' + position.coords.speed + '<br />' +
'Timestamp: ' + position.timestamp + '<br />';
}
// onError Callback receives a PositionError object
//
function onError(error) {
alert('code: ' + error.code + '\n' +
'message: ' + error.message + '\n');
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p id="geolocation">Finding geolocation...</p>
</body>
</html>
and it's stuck on the "Finding geolocation..." message. usually when apps want to use my location they ask to turn on GPS and you can see a little icon on the notification bar that clarifies that it turned on and searching for GPS but this doesn't seem to happen to my code. EDIT: I tried the geolocation.watchPosition Full Example and because it has a timeout it alerts me with a timeout, so I guess he tries to find my coords but fails too, Why is that? Maps and other nav app work fine
