I want to know whenever user turn his gps off. I want to get informed about that action in different activities. I made Broadcast Receiver to listen for GPS state change. But almost always when i turn off GPS, my updateValue function get fired twice. How to get notified one time, when user turn his gps off? What i did wrong? Below is my code.
class GpsStatusReceiver : BroadcastReceiver() {
var observableGpsState: ObservableGpsState? = null
override fun onReceive(context: Context?, intent: Intent?) {
val locationManager = context?.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE) as LocationManager
if (locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER)) {
//GPS Turned on,OK..
} else {
if (observableGpsState == null)
observableGpsState = ObservableGpsState.getInstance()
observableGpsState?.updateValue(GPS_STATUS_TURNED_OFF)
}
}
companion object {
val GPS_STATUS_TURNED_OFF = "GPS_TURNED_OFF"
}}
My Observable
class ObservableGpsState: Observable(){
fun updateValue(data: Any) {
synchronized(this) {
setChanged()
notifyObservers(data)
}
}
companion object {
private val instance = ObservableGpsState()
fun getInstance(): ObservableGpsState {
return instance
}
}}
And (what I guess) is important from my Activity:
protected lateinit var observer: Observable
private fun registerGpsObserver(){
observer = ObservableGpsState.getInstance()
observer.addObserver(this)
}
private fun unregisterGpsObserver(){
observer.deleteObserver(this)
}
override fun update(o: Observable?, arg: Any?) {
MyApplication.get(baseContext).enableGpsDialog(this)
}
I would assume that this issue arises only on some devices (though I am not 100% sure about it, but it is the case when listening to network changes via a BroadcastReceiver
so it would make sense).
Anyway the simplest solution would be to Make an enum
which holds the current State
of your GPS
. Only if the State changes notify the Observer. This way the onReceive
could be called 1000 times but your Observer
gets notified only once.
