Hi, i'm using Locate Button sample in my android project. I save it as html file in my assets folder "file:///android_asset/index.html" and run it in my android webview. When i run it in my android, i can see the map but when i click the locate button it not working.
Did android support LocateButton widget or may be i miss something?

Thank

This is really difficult to troubleshoot!

Were there any error messages in the console when you pressed the button?

Did you confirm that the sample works from a web-server?

Hi,
I guess it about enable geolocation in a webView. There is sample in http://turbomanage.wordpress.com/2012/04/23/how-to-enable-geolocation-in-a-webview-android/ and it solved the problem.

Thank.

Glad you found a solution!

I figured it would be an Android issue and not a JSAPI issue 😉
