Is it possible to use Geolocation with a StageWebView in Air 3.6 for mobile?
My project was originally set up in Flash Builder with Air 3.2, and I have a StageWebView that gets called and loads a webpage on my site that uses the Google Maps JS API to mashup the map with some locations from a database call I make elsewhere. This works perfectly fine in all mobile browsers and devices when hitting the URL directly.
However, on both iOS 6 on an iPod Touch, and Android 4.1.1, the code gets as far as this:
function handleGeolocation() {
// turn on local searching
isLocalSearchOn = true;
// Try HTML5 geolocation
alert("hello" + navigator.geolocation);
if( navigator.geolocation ) {
alert("inside"); // -> This gets alerted
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition( getMyPosition, posFail );
} else {
// Browser doesn't support Geolocation
alert("fail 3");
handleNoGeolocation(false);
}
}
In case you missed my note above in the ocde, the alert "Inside" appears within the app, and the code does not execute anything further.
getMyPosition and posFail are defined outside the above function, here:
function posFail(err) {
alert("msg: " + err.message);
}
function getMyPosition(position) {
alert("get my postition");
alert("pos: " + position.coords.latitude + " " + position.coords.longitude);
try {
var pos = new google.maps.LatLng( position.coords.latitude, position.coords.longitude );
map.setCenter( pos );
map.setZoom( 14 );
alert("success!");
} catch(err) {
alert("fail 1");
handleNoGeolocation(true);
}
}
Neither function alerts anything - neither the success, nor the fail functions.
I've checked Location Services on both devices - they are both turned on.
Why is this happening? As I said, the code works in-browser. Why isn't it working in my app?
I've attempted to upgrade to AIR 3.6, but so far, no change in behaviour. It still just craps out at that point.
