I am using location service to listen location on background. But I have a problem with getting current location in service. It does not give me the proper result but 0,0 as coordinates. When I do the same operations on main activity, it gives the expected result. I think it is about context given to the gpstracker as a parameter but do not know what to do.

Gratia
Replace your TimeDisplayTimerTask with following code:
Initialize gps within run method.
class TimeDisplayTimerTask extends TimerTask
{
#Override
public void run()
{
mHandler.post(new Runnable()
{
#Override
public void run()
{
gps = new GPSTracker(getApplicationContext());
// check if GPS enabled
if(gps.canGetLocation())
{
double latitude = gps.getLatitude();
double longitude = gps.getLongitude();
// \n is for new line
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Your Location is - \nLat: " + latitude + "\nLong: " + longitude + "\n\n"+getDateTime(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
else
{
// can't get location
// GPS or Network is not enabled
// Ask user to enable GPS/network in settings
gps.showSettingsAlert();
}
}
});
}
}
Wait sometime because getting gps-coordinates from gps takes some time.
I have created an IntentService class which i used to send device data to a web service whether the app is running or is terminated. Here's my code:

my logcat shows that my handle intent has been called:
08-27 14:03:01.989 26460-26534/? V/Test-PostService﹕ HANDLE INTENT IS CALLED!
08-27 14:03:02.003 26460-26534/? V/Test-PostService﹕ Starting gps updates.
But the callback method onGPSUpdated(Location updatedLocation) wasn't called. I am certain of my GPSTracker class' callbacks for I have used it on my previous projects. What could be the cause of this? What is the more efficient way to send updates to web service for both my app's running and terminated status. I am new to Service by the way. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

For my activityclass I have made this:
gps = new GPSTracker(MainActivity.this);
double latitude2 = gps.getLatitude();
double longitude2 = gps.getLongitude();
I receive the data, this works. But now I want to run the data in the background so when the location is changed I can implement a function that sends my data to the cloud.
I tried this:
private void startGPSTrackerInBackground() {
new AsyncTask<Void,Void,String>() {
#Override
protected String doInBackground(Void... params) {
String msg = "This message runs in background";
gps = new GPSTracker(MainActivity.this);
if(!gps.canGetLocation()){
gps.showSettingsAlert();
}else{
gps = new GPSTracker(MainActivity.this);
double latitude2 = gps.getLatitude();
double longitude2 = gps.getLongitude();
}
return msg;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String msg) {
mDisplay.append(msg + "\n");
}
}.execute(null, null, null);
}
But in this function it's not possible to get the information of my GPSTracker class, anyone an idea to make this possible?
Create an independent class, add a GPSTracker member variable and pass it in the constructor. Wrap your task in a method you can invoke later:
public class BackgroundGPSTracker() {
GPSTracker tracker;
public BackgroundGPSTracker(GPSTracker tracker) {
this.tracker = tracker;
}
public void run() {
new AsyncTask<Void,Void,String>() {
#Override
protected String doInBackground(Void... params) {
// Do some background stuff.
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String msg) {
// Do after work stuff
}
}.execute(null, null, null);
}
}
Use:
If you create GPSTracker like this:
gps = new GPSTracker(MainActivity.this);
Then you start the activity passing it to the task:
BackgroundGPSTracker bgGPSTracker= new BackgroundGPSTracker(gps);
bgGPSTracker.run();
EDIT
Use a member variable to store last known location, and timer to schedule updates:
public class CampaignsDiscoverActivity extends Activity{
static final int QUERY_CAMPAINGS_DELAY = 30000;// milliseconds
Location currentLocation;
Timer timer;
void restartTimer() {
timer = new Timer();
timer.schedule(new TimerTask() {
#Override
public void run() {
sendDataToServerOrWhatever();
}
}, QUERY_CAMPAINGS_DELAY, QUERY_CAMPAINGS_DELAY);
}
void stopTimer() {
if (timer != null) {
timer.cancel();
timer = null;
}
}
void sendDataToServerOrWhatever() {
// Do some stuff using currentLocation
}
Set a listener for locations changes. when location changed is raised, stop the timer, do work and restart it:
void startGPSUpdates() {
locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
locationListener = new LocationListener() {
#Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
}
#Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
}
#Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
}
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
stopTimer();
currentLocation = location;
sendDataToServerOrWhatever();
}
};
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0, locationListener);
// Initialize location.
currentLocation = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
if (currentLocation == null) {
currentLocation = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
}
restartTimer();
}
To start the system just invoke startGPSUpdates.
You should pause listeners when app goes to the background and resume when foreground:
#Override
public void onPause() {
super.onPause();
if (applicationData.isLoggedIn()) {
pauseLocationUpdates();
}
}
#Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
if (applicationData.isLoggedIn()) {
resumeLocationUpdates();
}
}
void pauseLocationUpdates() {
locationManager.removeUpdates(locationListener);
}
void resumeLocationUpdates() {
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0, locationListener);
}
I think you should do the same with the timer, but the app where I'm using it is not finished and fully tested yet, so you might find bugs.
Hope that helps.
I am trying to create an app that shows my current location
I have all the permisson neccessary,
I have another class name GPS tracker to get my gps locations
Heres my code :
GPSTracker gpsTracker = new GPSTracker(this);
LocationManager lm = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
lm.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 0, 0, this);
map = ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();
map.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_NORMAL);
latitude = gpsTracker.latitude;
longitude = gpsTracker.longitude;
LatLng latLng = new LatLng(latitude, longitude);
map.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(latLng));
map.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(18));
Here is the GPSTracker class:
public class GPSTracker extends Service implements LocationListener {

DO NOT USE THE GPS TRACKER CLASS. It's horribly horribly broken. In so many ways I wrote a long blog post about it tonight: see http://gabesechansoftware.com/location-tracking/
Here's the ways its broken:
1)It doesn't track GPS. Sometimes it tracks network location instead
2)The canGetLocation function is broken. It returns true before it has a location
3)Its horribly inefficient, forcing you to poll.
4)It doesn't differentiate stale from fresh data- and doesn't let you do it either
I'd go on but I already wrote it up tonight.
I wrote a much better GPS tracker library at my blog. Here it is repeated for SO use

The interface defines a generic location tracker so you can switch between them. ProviderLocationTracker will allow you to track via GPS or network, depending on the parameter you pass to its constructor. FallbackLocationTracker will track via both, giving you only the most accurate info currently available but falling back to network if GPS isn't ready.
use this code
and implemets your activity from "implements LocationListener"
locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,3000, // 3 sec
5, this);
boolean isGPS = locationManager.isProviderEnabled (LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
if(!isGPS)
{
showSettingsAlert();
GPS_imageview.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.gpsnonfix);
//Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Please Start GPS to get more Accurate location", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT) .show();
}
and use following also
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
int a=location.getExtras().getInt("satellites") ;
if(a>4)
{
String str = "Latitude: "+location.getLatitude()+" \nLongitude: "+location.getLongitude();
// Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), str, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Double lat=location.getLatitude();
Double lan=location.getLongitude();
}else{
}
String str = "Latitude: "+location.getLatitude()+" \nLongitude: "+location.getLongitude();
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), str, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
#Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
/******** Called when User off Gps *********/
Latitude="0.0";
Longitude="0.0";
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Gps turned off ", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
#Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
/******** Called when User on Gps *********/
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Gps turned on ", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
#Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
This code get no of sattelite .if no of sattelite is greter than 4 then get proper result..thats accuracy of result is good...
When you start your app, your GPS probably has not yet made connection and gives you a default location such as 0,0. If your phone finds its coordinates at a later point in time, your app has no way of detecting this.
This line:
lm.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 0, 0, this);
states that every time your phone discovers a change of location, the "OnLocationChanged"-method (of the object in which you called that line of code), is called. As far as I can see, you did not implement this method yet.
I suggest the following. Change your third line to:
lm.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 0, 0, gpsTracker);
So it uses the implementation of the onLocationChanged method of your gpsTracker.
Now, implement the OnLocationChanged-method of the GPSTracker-class which you already defined, but not yet implemented:
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
//This method is triggered every time your location changes.
//The 'location' argument can be used to access the current location.
}
I'm developing an Android app and having some trouble with the implementation of GPS. I've classed my GPS functionality as outlined in this article. Here is the relevant code:
Main Activity:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
/*
* declare
*/
private Chronometer chrono;
private GPSTracker gps;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
/*
* hook up interface elements to declared objects
*/
chrono = (Chronometer)findViewById(R.id.chrono);
textState = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textState);
gps = new GPSTracker(MainActivity.this); // set up gps tracker
//test gps connection and prompt to enable if disabled
if (!gps.canGetLocation()) {
gps.showSettingsAlert();
}
}
#Override
protected void onPause() {
gps.stopUsingGPS();
super.onPause();
}
#Override
protected void onResume() {
gps.getLocation();
if (!gps.canGetLocation()) {
gps.showSettingsAlert();
}
super.onResume();
}
}
And here is my class, called GPSTracker:

Previously, the GPS would start when the app was started and turn off anytime I navigated away from the app to do something else. The problem was that the GPS would not start again when I navigated back to the app.
Now, I can't even get the GPS to start when I start the app, and I don't believe I made any changes to the code so I'm completely lost. Any tips?
