I have used requestLocationUpdates
method inside Service
in my Android application for getting updates whenever location of my device changes. I have set minTime = 0
But this requestLocationUpdates
method is giving update after very long delays (that is 10 to 15 minutes, or even more). And sometimes when I run my application requestLocationUpdates
mehod does not gives any update at all. And few of the times (very rare) this requestLocationUpdates
method behaves as expected (gives updates continuously with 0 seconds delay). So what can be the problem? And how can I get updates continuously, every time when I run my application?
HelloService.java
public class HelloService extends Service {
@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
new Thread(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
new Handler(getMainLooper()).post(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
LocationManager manager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 23 && ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(MainActivity.context, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(MainActivity.context, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
return;
}
else {
manager.requestLocationUpdates("gps", 0, 0, new LocationDetector());
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.ctx, "Service Started...", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
});
}
}).start();
return Service.START_STICKY;
}
}
LocationDetector.java
public class LocationDetector implements LocationListener {
@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
/*I have used here Log.e instead of Log.d in order to get the output in clear red message that is easily readable*/
Log.e("GPS: ", location.getLatitude()+ ", " +location.getLongitude(), new Exception());
}
@Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {}
@Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {}
@Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {}
}
I tried your whole code with creating new project in my laptop and run on my phone.
Result : It's working and GPS TTF is almost 15 seconds on my phone.
Have you tried other devices ?
What about gps icon ? appeared, disappeared ?
And try fused location provider to see what gonna happen, link
