Description

In general, geolocation does not seem to work at all in 1.5 (master).

    Problem appears to be ....

    • Top-level modules load up when app loads, meaning Geolocation as well.
    • When Geolocation loads up, it sets TiLocation instance.
    • When TiLocation loads, it creates the locationProvider.
    • Shortly thereafter, however, the RootActivity pauses. Geolocation instance has listened for this, and tells TiLocation instance to pause.
    • TiLocation's reaction to pausing is to nullify the locationProvider.
    • Because Geolocation is a module, it is a singleton -- all attempts to use it after this will get this TiLocation that has the null locationProvider.

    I can't find any equivalent of @ContextSpecific that works in 1.5 (I see the @Kroll.module annotation has that as an argument, but it doesn't do anything yet.)
