geolocation is not active android adobe flash as3?

Question

I'm creating a simple geolocation app for android in adobe flash as3.

I'm using the example code found here

however, I get no geolocation information (longitude or latitude) and instead I get this in my app:

geoStatus.text = "GPS not active!";

I have checked my Android device and I know the location access in enabled and I can also confirm that by using the google location map app on my device.

so it really doesn't make sense that it doesn't work in my app all i get is GPS not active error!

my phone has android 4.2.2 installed on it.

the question that I have is that is this a common issue with adobe air for android and what are the fixes to solve this issue?

I have searched all over the internet and all i could find is the information about HTML5!

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Could you show us your code because we have no idea what's "geoStatus.text" and how it got the value "GPS not active!" ? I tried the same example and It works fine. — akmozo

check your application descriptor file (aplication_name-app.xml)

<android> <manifestAdditions> 
  <![CDATA[<manifest> 
   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />     </manifest>]]>
   </manifestAdditions>  
</android>
