Question
I got this error from the user logs on an android app I created. I have been unable to replicate the error thus far. Any help would be extremely appreciated.
The error is:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: provider=gps
at android.os.Parcel.readException(Parcel.java:1326)
at android.os.Parcel.readException(Parcel.java:1276)
at android.location.ILocationManager$Stub$Proxy.requestLocationUpdates(ILocationManager.java:646)
at android.location.LocationManager._requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.java:582)
at android.location.LocationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.java:446)
at com.myApp.service.DeviceManager$7.handleMessage(DeviceManager.java:470)
at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:99)

at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:641)
at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method)
The devicemanager location it refers to is:
private final Handler uihandler = new Handler() {
@Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
switch (msg.what) {
case MSG_TOAST:
Toast.makeText(DeviceManager.this, msg.arg1, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
break;
case MSG_ENABLE_LOCATION:
mLocationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 60000, 1,DeviceManager.this);
mLocationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER,
60000, 1, DeviceManager.this);
break;
case MSG_DISABLE_LOCATION:
mLocationManager.removeUpdates(DeviceManager.this);
break;
case MSG_STOP_SELF:
break;
}
}
};
Solution
Sorry forgot to post the solution. The problem ended up being due to a user force closing the app in the middle of a location update. Nothing we can do about that!
OTHER TIPS
IllegalArgumentException
if provider is null or doesn't exist. Make sure GPS provider enabled.
Did you check this tutorial? Have you added following entry manifest file?
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
