Stop Location Listener in Android

In my android app I need to get current GPS location of the user at the start of the application only if location has change from the previous location. But the problem is when I inside the application if location change (ie If user was traveling while using the app) app is starting from the beginning.

I need to stop location listener after getting user current location. removeUpdates method didn't work for me.

Please help me on this issue. thanks in advance !

Solution 
  • mLocManager.removeUpdates(locationListenerObject);
mLocManager = null;

    Call this inside your onLocationChange Method when lat and long has been captured by the listener.

    Hope I helped..
