Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone has some advice on registering for geolocation events under cascades.  So far I have created a separate thread which registers for geolocation events but the thread never seems to receive any.  I have initialised bps on the thread, and check for events passing in -1 into bps_get_event() to wait for events. From testing it appears no events are received because the thread never returns from bps_get_event.

I have tested the same code on the ndk for PlayBook and it works as expected, so I can only assume that I am missing something here.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm thinking the GPS subsystem has changed in the Alpha in some fashion. See my post here http://forums.crackberry.com/showthread.php?p=7379453#post7379453

(Posted to crackberry since I thought it might be hardware-related, and they've got a BB10 Dev Alpha forum set up whereas here we have forums coupled to each SDK.)

Thanks for the reply peter.

I have tried the ndk geolocation sample and that runs ok on the alpha device.  I must admit I'm finding it a bit confusing especially since I have not used qt before.  Hopefully there will be some documentation soon on how to access device features.

I feel a bit frustrated since I could use the device features on the PB but had no GUI and on BB10 I have a GUI but am finding it hard to access the device features lol

I've built the Geolocation sample with the new beta NDK as well, and it runs fine here also. @lewellyn had similar success, but said when he built the same code using the NDK 2.0 it gave no results. I guess that means *something* changed, but I don't know what yet.
