cloudManager.getLocation doesn't work on Android - unable to get location from cloud

Indoor Location
1

Using Android indoor sdk i’m trying to locate a user in a room.
When the app starts it crashes because of “locazione” that is null.
I put some logs in the getLocation function and I don’t see them so, obviously, locazione is null.
Some ideas of what’s wrong?

Hello Marco,

The problem here is related to the location creation process. You should not manually create location in the code. like below:

locazione=new Location("amministrazione's location", "amministrazione-s-location-6pi", false, "amministrazione@softeam.it", 85.9398572994113, locationWall, locationBeacon, locationLinearObject new LinkedList<LocationWall>(), new LinkedList<LocationBeacon>(), new LinkedList<LocationLinearObject>());

Location can be created manually with Location Builder engine on iOS platform or automatically using auto-mapping mechanism available in Indoor Location AppStore app. Created Location can be fetch to the application using following code:

val cloudManager = IndoorCloudManagerFactory().create(applicationContext, cloudCredentials)
        
cloudManager.getLocation("your location id here", object : CloudCallback<Location> {
    override fun success(locations: Location?) {
    // do something with your location here. You will need it to init IndoorManager and IndoorView           
}

Hope it helps!

This is a commemment (the comment starts a few lines upper), i tried to do it insetad of downloading info from the cloud but it also didn’t work.

Anyway I solved, the problem was that the getLocation method is asynchronous so i have to wait for a while before start using the location.
The code was executed too fast and the lcation was null when accessed.

Thanks
Marco
