Hey there,
I try to get the geolocation api to work and I knew, that I had to enable it into the Windows 8 Preview Release - settings so I did (PC Settings --> Privacy Privacy --> apps are allowed to access my location) (Wording is different, I use Win 8 in German).
But when I execute the following code it always shows the error code 1 telling me, that I have to enable the Geolocation API.
requestPosition: function () {
var nav = null;
if (nav == null) {
nav = window.navigator;
}
if (nav != null) {
var geoloc = nav.geolocation;
if (geoloc != null) {
geoloc.getCurrentPosition(
function (position) {
document.getElementById("debug").innerText += position.coords.latitude + " :: " + position.coords.longitude;
},
function (error) {
var message = "";
document.getElementById("debug").innerText += "ERROR: " + error.code.toString();
switch (error.code) {
case error.PERMISSION_DENIED:
message = "You must grant access to the Geolocation API to use this feature!";
break;
case error.POSITION_UNAVAILABLE:
message = "The current position could not be determined. Try again or enter a ZIP-Code instead of using this feature.";
break;
case error.PERMISSION_DENIED_TIMEOUT:
message = "The current position could not be determined due to timeout. Try again or enter a ZIP-Code instead of using this feature.";
break;
}
if (message == "") {
message = "Unknown error occurred with code " + error.code.toString() + ". Try again or use ZIP-detecting";
}
document.getElementById("debug").innerText += message;
}
);
}
document.getElementById("debug").innerText = "requestPosition called: " + geoloc;
}
}
requestPosition is my callback function for the click event on the button where the User shall geolocate himself.
What am I doing wrong? Do I need to enable the Geolocation API for every Metro App?
