Android processing Hello World works but Geo-location example from Rapid Android Development failed initially because of permissions and sketch location and now it works!

Pontifications

After upgrading to the API level for Android 7.1.1 on the Pixel XL, the Hello World works from the Android processing getting started tutorial! Code:


void setup() {
  fullScreen();
  noStroke();
  fill(0);
}

void draw() {
  background(204);
  if (mousePressed) {
    if (mouseX < width/2) {
      rect(0, 0, width/2, height); // Left
    } else {
      rect(width/2, 0, width/2, height); // Right
    }
  }
}

But the Geo-location example from Android Processing aka Rapid Android Development doesn’t work. First I got Lost connection with device while installing - Try again! I fixed that by moving the code to the default sketches folder but then I got Caused by: android.system.ErrnoException: android_getaddrinfo failed: EACCES (Permission denied) so I added Internet and access fine locations permissions and it worked! Code:

/**
 * <p>Ketai Sensor Library for Android: http://ketai.org</p>

 * <p>KetaiLocation Features:
 * <ul>
 * <li>Uses GPS location data (latitude, longitude, altitude (if available)</li>
 * <li>Updates if location changes by 1 meter, or every 10 seconds</li>
 * <li>If unavailable, defaults to system provider (cell tower or WiFi network location)</li>
 * </ul>
