ERA - What permission, where permission?

Hi,

Checking ERA today and I see this:

Error Name: Permission Required
Occurrences: 24
First Occurrence: 2020-04-08
Last Occurrence: 2020-04-20
Devices:
    fēnix® 6: 5.00

Backtrace:
    Widget_LockDownDistanceView.setStartLocation:215
    Widget_LockDownDistanceView.onSettingsChanged:61
    Widget_LockDownDistanceView.initialize:25
    Widget_LockDownDistanceApp.initialize:12

The "offending" line is this:

Position.enableLocationEvents(Position.LOCATION_DISABLE, method(:setCurrentOnPosition));

But, my manifest explicitly requests the permission:

iq:uses-permission id="Positioning"

So...

Am I going mad?

Is there another permission I need to use in order to read Position or is this a bug?

In initialize in your view or in AppBase?

The reason being is the device has glances, initialize() in AppBase will be called.

I suspect that's it as the devices you list all have glances. Move the

What type of app is it? Watch face, device app, DF, Widget? Looks to be a widget from the file names.

What else are you doing within a few lines of where the error is indicated?

Yes, it's a widget.

It appears to have happened inside the initialize() call which means that the things I have done upto the crash are:

1. Called View.initialize();

2. Read various properties using app.getProperty(); and set various vars to same.

3. Er... that's it...

I suspect that's it as the devices you list all have glances. Move the

Position.enableLocationEvents(Position.LOCATION_DISABLE, method(:setCurrentOnPosition));

into your view or into getInitalView() in your AppBase.

You can't start GPS in a glance. That's why you got the error.

update: You should be able to see this happen if you enable glances for an f6 in the sim.

AH!

Thanks, that makes a lot of sense.

I was turning the position events on and off, though, so I'll need to give it a bit of thought.

Thanks,
