onLocationChanged not called to retrieve position

Question

I' m developing an app that use the google maps api, now it worked fine into my real device which i used to the test the app.Few days ago i made an hard reset on my tablet and when i tried to test my app again, it didn't work as before.so in my logcat i see that the locationClient is connected, but it can't recognize my position, so onLocationChanged is never called.

i notice this into my logcat:

I/Google Maps Android API(2924): Google Play services client version: 5089000
I/Google Maps Android API(2924): Google Play services package version: 5089032

i know that these are two different versions of google play services, i can't understand how to fix it, because before tablet's hard reset,i hadn't got this info into logcat.

this is my manifest.xml:

    @Override

        // BUT onLocationChanged is never called
        Toast.makeText(this, "I'm bringing you to your area.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        locationClient.requestLocationUpdates(locationRequest, this);

    }

    [...]
}

Answer 1

Enable location services:

settings->location and security->under my location-> select use wireless and use gps.

Answer 2

Install the latest Google Play Services from the Android SDK manager

Answer 3

LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);

// Creating a criteria object to retrieve provider
Criteria criteria = new Criteria();

// Getting the name of the best provider
String provider = locationManager.getBestProvider(criteria, true);

// Getting Current Location
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(provider, 10000L, 1f, (LocationListener) this);
