I want to run location update as a service. Now I can able to run the service correctly but the location updation is happening twice, Here is the code,
AndroidManifest.xml
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<service
android:name=".services.LocationService"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_location"
android:label="Location Service">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.service.notification.service" />
</intent-filter>
</service>
In the Activity Class we are using startLocationService() to start the service and stopLocationService() to stop the service, Also created a Broadcast Receiver to get the location updation on the Activity Calss.
private BroadcastReceiver broadcastReceiver;
private Intent mLocationServiceIntent;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_navigtaion_drawer);
AppController.getInstance().activityResumed();
broadcastReceiver = createBroadcastReceiver();
registerReceiver(broadcastReceiver, new IntentFilter(getPackageName()));
if (!Permissions.hasLocationPermission(this)) {
Permissions.requestLocationPermission(this, PermissionKeys.LOCATION_REQUEST_HOME_ON_RESUME);
} else
startLocationService();
}
private BroadcastReceiver createBroadcastReceiver() {
return new BroadcastReceiver() {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if (intent.hasExtra(LocationService.LOCATION_UPDATED)) {
Bundle b = intent.getExtras();
if (b != null) {
Location mCurrentLocation = (Location) b.get(LocationService.LOCATION_UPDATED);
}
}
}
};
}
//Function To Start the Service
public void startLocationService() {
if (mLocationServiceIntent == null)
mLocationServiceIntent = new Intent(this, LocationService.class);
startService(mLocationServiceIntent);
}
//Function To Stop the Service
public void stopLocationService() {
if (mLocationServiceIntent != null)
stopService(mLocationServiceIntent);
}
LocationService.java
public class LocationService extends Service implements LocationListener, GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks, GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener {
public static final String LOCATION_UPDATED = "LocationUpdated";
public static final String LATITUDE = "Latitude";
public static final String LONGITUDE = "Longitude";
LocationRequest mLocationRequest;
GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;
private static final String TAG = "###LocationService:: ";
private static final int LOCATION_INTERVAL = 15000;
private static final int FASTEST_INTERVAL = 10000;
private static final float LOCATION_DISTANCE = 7f;
#Override
public void onCreate() {
if (isGooglePlayServicesAvailable()) {
mLocationRequest = new LocationRequest();
mLocationRequest.setInterval(LOCATION_INTERVAL);
mLocationRequest.setFastestInterval(FASTEST_INTERVAL);
mLocationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
//mLocationRequest.setSmallestDisplacement(10.0f); /* min dist for location change, here it is 10 meter */
mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
.addApi(LocationServices.API)
.addConnectionCallbacks(this)
.addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
.build();
mGoogleApiClient.connect();
}
}
//Check Google play is available or not
private boolean isGooglePlayServicesAvailable() {
int status = GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(getApplicationContext());
return ConnectionResult.SUCCESS == status;
}
#Override
public void onConnected(Bundle bundle) {
Log.e(TAG, "Connected");
startLocationUpdates();
}
#Override
public void onConnectionSuspended(int i) {
Log.e(TAG, "Connection suspended");
}
protected void startLocationUpdates() {
Log.e(TAG, "Start Location Updates");
try {
int permissionCheck = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION);
if (permissionCheck == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
PendingResult<Status> pendingResult = LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, mLocationRequest, this);
}
} catch (IllegalStateException e) {
}
}
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
if (location != null) {
Log.e(TAG, "Location Changed : " + location.getLatitude() + "," + location.getLongitude());
Intent intent = new Intent(getPackageName());
intent.putExtra(LOCATION_UPDATED, location);
sendBroadcast(intent);
}
}
/* LocationListener[] mLocationListeners = new LocationListener[]{
new LocationListener(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER),
new LocationListener(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER)
};*/
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0) {
return null;
}
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
super.onStartCommand(intent, flags, startId);
return START_STICKY;
}
#Override
public void onConnectionFailed(#NonNull ConnectionResult connectionResult) {
Log.e(TAG, "onConnectionFailed:: "+connectionResult.getErrorMessage());
}
}
I have fixed this issue by adding a condition checking before start the service,
My updated startLocationService() function is like,
//Function To Start the Service
public void startLocationService() {
if (mLocationServiceIntent == null)
mLocationServiceIntent = new Intent(this, LocationService.class);
if(!isServiceRunning(HomeScreenActivity.this, LocationService.class)) {
startService(mLocationServiceIntent);
}
}
Here is the function to check if the service is already running or not.
//This function is to check the service is already running or not
public boolean isServiceRunning(Context context, Class<?> serviceClass) {
ActivityManager manager = (ActivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
for (ActivityManager.RunningServiceInfo service : manager.getRunningServices(Integer.MAX_VALUE)) {
if (serviceClass.getName().equals(service.service.getClassName())) {
Log.e("ServiceRunning", serviceClass.getSimpleName() + " is alredy running");
return true;
}
}
return false;
}

How to send user location data to server every five second using restful API even app is closed in android?
Please help me
you can create a background service that it works when user lock screen or close your app from background
you must create service with this way:
first create a Service class like this:
public class LocationService extends Service implements GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks {
public static double latitude;
public static double longitude;
private int retryGPS = 0;
private int retryNetwork = 0;
private Handler handler;
private Runnable runnable;
private GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;
private LocationManager mLocationManager;
private LocationListener[] mLocationListeners = new LocationListener[]{
new LocationListener(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER),
};
private static final int LOCATION_INTERVAL = 0;
private static final float LOCATION_DISTANCE = 1;
private static final String TAG = "LocationService";
#Override
public void onCreate() {
buildGoogleApiClient();
initializeLocationManager();
locationRequest();
handler = new Handler();
runnable = new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
sendLocation();
}
};
sendLocation();
}
protected synchronized void buildGoogleApiClient() {
mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
.addConnectionCallbacks(this)
.addApi(LocationServices.API)
.build();
}
private void initializeLocationManager() {
if (mLocationManager == null) {
mLocationManager = (LocationManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
}
}
private void locationRequest() {
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
return;
}
mLocationManager.requestLocationUpdates(
LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, LOCATION_INTERVAL, LOCATION_DISTANCE,
mLocationListeners[0]);
}
private void sendLocation() {
//TODO: you can use location here
handler.postDelayed(runnable,5000);
}
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
#Override
public int onStartCommand(final Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
if (!mGoogleApiClient.isConnected())
mGoogleApiClient.connect();
return START_STICKY;
}
#Override
public void onConnected(Bundle bundle) {
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
return;
}
Location location = LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation(mGoogleApiClient);
if (location != null) {
latitude = location.getLatitude();
longitude = location.getLongitude();
} else {
try {
Thread.sleep(3000);
onConnected(null);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
#Override
public void onConnectionSuspended(int i) {
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
handler.removeCallbacks(runnable);
if (mLocationManager != null) {
for (LocationListener mLocationListener : mLocationListeners) {
try {
mLocationManager.removeUpdates(mLocationListener);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
super.onDestroy();
}
private class LocationListener implements android.location.LocationListener, ActivityCompat.OnRequestPermissionsResultCallback {
Location mLastLocation;
public LocationListener(String provider) {
Log.d(TAG, "LocationListener: " + provider);
mLastLocation = new Location(provider);
}
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(final Location location) {
mLastLocation.set(location);
latitude = location.getLatitude();
longitude = location.getLongitude();
Log.d(TAG, "onLocationChanged: { latitude: " + latitude + " ,longitude: " + longitude + " , accuracy: " + location.getAccuracy() + " }");
}
#Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
Log.d(TAG, "onProviderDisabled: " + provider);
}
#Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
Log.d(TAG, "onProviderEnabled: " + provider);
}
#Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
Log.d(TAG, "onStatusChanged: " + status);
}
#Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, #NonNull String[] permissions, #NonNull int[] grantResults) {
}
}
}
then register service in manifest:
<service
android:name=".service.LocationService"
android:enabled="true"
android:process=":process" />
then start service from any activity or fragment :
public static void mStopService(Context context) {
context.stopService(new Intent(context, LocationService.class));
}
public static void mStartService(Context context) {
context.startService(new Intent(context, LocationService.class));
}
if you want to make your code run even when the app is closed you need to use services, services can run in the background even if the app is closed, and you may need to use a broadcast receiver with the service to keep running it every time it finishes.
this is the Service:
public class myService extends Service {
public static int counter = 0;
public myReceiver myReceiver = new myReceiver();
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
//this line register the Receiver for the first time
myService.this.registerReceiver(myReceiver, new IntentFilter("com.example.myApp"));
}
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
//Here you have to put the code that gets the location and send it
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
//here you sent a broadcast message to start the reciever
//note that the broadcast message that you send has to be unique writing you package name will be fine ex: com.example.myApp
Intent sendBroadCast = new Intent("com.example.myApp");
sendBroadcast(sendBroadCast);
}
#Nullable
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
and this is the broadcast receiver:
public class myReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(final Context context, Intent intent) {
if("com.example.myApp".equals(intent.getAction())){
//the handler is used as a timer here
Handler handler = new Handler();
handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
Intent myServ = new Intent(context, myService.class);
try {
context.startService(myServ);
}catch (Exception e){
}
}
},5000);
}
}
}
I have an app that records users location and draws a polyline.I want to know how to do that when the user locks his screen.I've implemented a foreground service so the user can do whatever he wants in his phone but it doesn't work if the user turns the screen off.Any ideas?I've seen the wake lock but they are only for not letting the screen turned off.
UPDATE
Here is the foreground service that runs when the user presses a button from the activity

It can show "start" and "3ok" on the page but cannot get the location. It appears "TextView" instead of the location information. Did I miss any codes and where is the problem? Is it a correct way to use service?Thank you.

The service is initiated in the activity like this
startService(new Intent(this, GPService.class));
In the fragment this is how I create it and register it
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
receiver= new GPSReceiver();
//this.getActivity().registerReceiver(receiver, new IntentFilter());
db=Database.getInstance(this.getContext());
}
#Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter("GPSLocationUpdates");
getActivity().registerReceiver(receiver,filter);
}
#Override
public void onPause() {
getActivity().unregisterReceiver(receiver);
super.onPause();
}
Finally this is the reciever in the Fragment, I can't get it to get the info from the service, any ideas? I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
private class GPSReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
private LatLng changed;
public GPSReceiver()
{
changed= new LatLng(0,0);
}
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.wtf("RECIEVE", "IT IS IN BROADCAST");
if (intent.getAction().equals("GPSLocationUpdates"))
{
Log.wtf("RECIEVE1", "INTENT ARRIVES");
double lat= intent.getDoubleExtra("latitud",1);
double longi= intent.getDoubleExtra("longitud",1);
changed= new LatLng(lat,longi);
}
// String text = intent.getStringExtra("position");
}
public LatLng getChanged()
{
return changed;
}
}
The service seems to be working fine, I can see the coordinates in the console being send.
You're not registering you BroadcastReceiver to the LocalBroadcastManager. You're registering it to the global broadcast manager, but sending on the local.
Change:
#Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter("GPSLocationUpdates");
LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(getActivity()).registerReceiver(receiver,filter);
}
#Override
public void onPause() {
LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(getActivity()).unregisterReceiver(receiver);
super.onPause();
}
I have a service that when it creates and starts, initiates prerequisites of using FusedLocationAPI . buildGoogleApiClient() and createLocationRequest() with parameters that initiated by my getConfig() method from database.
This solution works great and accurate with parameters like:
UPDATE_INTERVAL= 10000 (10 sec) , FASTEST_INTERVAL= 5000 (5 sec) , DISPLACEMENT= 10 ( m )
But I need to set interval up to 5 minutes. So when i set prameters like :
UPDATE_INTERVAL= 300000 (5 min) , FASTEST_INTERVAL= 180000 (3 min) , DISPLACEMENT= 10 ( m )
GPS behaves differently and after 30 seconds stops searching GPS and location notification that blinks, disappears.
And starts searching again after device locked and unlocked or this Service stops and starts again.
Here is my service. Please tell me why searching GPS stops right after 30 seconds.
Thanks in advanece.
