Did you have any luck finding and implementing the code to trigger the alert? I manage to create the alerts but they never get fired. I only tryin in the emulator for now, could you explain to me a bit more what you said about to disable the GPS provider and use the network provider?

Thanks in advance, any source would be appreciated

Hi….
My proximity alert is now working fine, but, now I want to remove ALL proximity alerts, I have around 9000 alerts, but the android 2.1 SDK only allow to remove one by one passing the PendingIntent.

Now here comes the BIG problem, I add all alerts dinamically reading one config file. Do I have to keep in an array variable all PendingItents that I’ve create to then remove then one by one, or it is an easier way to do that!?

Tks!

I’ve been trying everything to get proximity alerts working with the emulator. There’s one small part you left out of your tutorial – the code to trigger the alert. I’ve read articles (and even the source code for LocationManagerService) and can’t get the alerts to trigger the receiver. According to some articles I’ve read, one must disable the GPS provider and use the Network provider as these are the only two that proximity alerts deal with. Given that the network provider is disable in the emulator, you can safely use this provider and inject locations into it (once activated) and triggers the proximity alerts. Seems well and good, only I haven’t had any luck. I also have been trying the receiver tag in the XML file but switched to code to see if that worked – no go, however.

Would you be able to follow up this article with one on how to test this code by injecting locations into the network provider?
