I know there has been a lot of questions on the site about the IOExeption : service not available.....I have checked all the answers i could find on the subject... i'm running it as async task which seems to be working fine but still getting the same exception.
I have used isPresent() on previous attempts although it is not in the following code and i am using the same phone. i have the internet permission. i have tried to change target to google api to see if that was the problem but it made no difference.
This is a vital part of a forth year project so any help would be serious. ps never worked with java or android before very recently so forgive any rookie looking coding ty..
