Google FusedLocationApi API there are so many time onConnectionSuspended called and i am unable to get GPS location

I have used GoogleApiClient for getting GPS location. i have create one service and every 10 seconds getting data from GPS but the problem is there are so many times onConnectionSuspended() called and i am not geeting any GPS data.
following is my service code that i am getting GPS location
<service
android:name="com.GPSService"
android:enabled="true"
android:exported="false"
android:process=":ServiceProcess"
android:stopWithTask="false" />

can somebody please help me to figure out this issue.

Is there a particular reason why you're running the service in a different process? I think it might be related that. Try changing the declaration of the service to
<service
android:name="com.GPSService"
android:enabled="true"
android:exported="false" />

Remove Location Listener

I want after open dialog and click on location button, detect user's location and show user's location and then user dismiss dialog, location listener removes and not get location from onLocationChanged, I try used locationManager.removeUpdate(locListener)on override dismiss but not any chance and location after dismiss again shows! why? How can i detect user's location after show dialog and after detect location, location listener remove? Thanks
EDIT:
public class DialogTest extends Dialog implements
android.view.View.OnClickListener {
Context context;
LocationManager locationManager;
LocationListener locationListener;
Location location;
public DialogTest(Context context) {
super(context);
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
this.context = context;
setContentView(R.layout.profile_dialog);
getWindow().setBackgroundDrawableResource(R.drawable.background_dialog);
firstAccessLocation=true;
setCancelable(true);
initialize();
}
#Override

}

In new code you should use LocationClient rather then LocationManager. It's more efficient in getting the location with minimal energy(battery drain) with greater accuracy. Look here LocationClient vs LocationManager. With LocationClient established you can call getLastLocation() which provide you last location and doesn't start cyclic location updates.
If you want to stick with LocationManager use requestSingleUpdate (String provider, LocationListener listener, Looper looper) method to get only one newest location from it.

Im getting latitude and longitude out of date

I using the new API for get location: android.https://developer.android.com/training/location/retrieve-current.html
Some times when I get the location, It come out of date. I get out at some place and go to another place, then the application returns the first place location to me. It happens when I out the WiFi. When I use the WiFi it works perfectly. Am I missing some method or something else?
public class NewGPSTracker implements
GooglePlayServicesClient.ConnectionCallbacks,
GooglePlayServicesClient.OnConnectionFailedListener,
LocationListener, com.google.android.gms.location.LocationListener {
private LocationRequest lr;
private LocationClient lc;
Location location;
double latitude = 0;
double longitude = 0;
Context context;
static Boolean status = false;
public int res = 0;
boolean conectado;
public NewGPSTracker(Context context) {
this.context = context;
lr = LocationRequest.create();
lr.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
lr.setInterval(5000);
lr.setFastestInterval(1000);
lc = new LocationClient(context, this, this);
}
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
if (conectado) {
lc.removeLocationUpdates(this);
lc.requestLocationUpdates(lr, this);
location = lc.getLastLocation();
if(location != null){
latitude = location.getLatitude();
longitude = location.getLongitude();
}
}
}
#Override
public void onConnectionFailed(ConnectionResult arg0) {
Log.e("NewGPSTracker", ""+arg0);
}
#Override
public void onConnected(Bundle connectionHint) {
conectado = true;
Log.i("NewGPSTracker", "Google Play Services Conectado.");
lc.requestLocationUpdates(lr, this);
location = lc.getLastLocation();
if(location != null){
latitude = location.getLatitude();
longitude = location.getLongitude();
}
}
public double getLatitude() {
return latitude;
}
public double getLongitude() {
return longitude;
}
public void connect(){
lc.connect();
}
public void disconnect(){
lc.disconnect();
}
#Override
public void onDisconnected() {
}
public void onProviderDisabled(String arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
public void onProviderEnabled(String arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
public void onStatusChanged(String arg0, int arg1, Bundle arg2) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
}

lr.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
I exactly don't know what are you using. But when i use google API for this situation, solved a issue like that.
Now line that at top always uses HIGH_ACCURACY of GPS/WI-FI. And your situation it looks like WI-FI always.. As you know there are two method to find user's location. (GPS/WI-FI) when you change your GPS location and not opening your WI-FI it should keep showing first.
So try to change it as a static variable like GPS, if it's possible.
Sorry for my bad english, complicated situation..

Calculate the difference of the time stamp of the location to the current time.
If it is more than some seconds, it is an old positoin, e.g the last known.
In that case wait for the next position, untill time difference is less than some seconds.

Retrieve GPS location using android

I'm trying to get gps location of the current location using simple android program. I used onLocationChanged() method for this. But it returning the coordinates as 0.0. The users permission part is correct. This is the code of main one.
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
GPSTracker gps;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Button btn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
final TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
gps = new GPSTracker(MainActivity.this);
double lat = gps.latitude;
String mlat = String.valueOf(lat);
tv.setText(mlat);
}
});
}
}
this is the gps location class that im using...
public class GPSTracker extends Service implements LocationListener{
private final Context mContext;
boolean isGPSEnabled = false;
boolean canGetLocation = false;
Location location;
double latitude;
double longtitude;
protected LocationManager locationManager;
public GPSTracker(Context context){
this.mContext = context;
getLocation();
}
public Location getLocation(){
locationManager = (LocationManager) mContext.getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0, this);
return null;
}
protected void onStart() {
}
protected void onPause(){
locationManager.removeUpdates(this);
}
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
latitude = location.getLatitude();
longtitude = location.getLongitude();
}
#Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
#Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
#Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return null;
}
}

Changing the GPS coordinates with out moving anywhere

**i have used the gps coordinates for calculating the distance using location updates. but problem is that if i am standing at same place the coordinates changes and distance is changing with out moving anywhere. I want to change it only when I have moved min 10 mtrs.

I should see the code you are writing. But without it I can say that there is a function, that you call, and it give you location update each X milliseconds. Or you can get the latest updated location, again, I should see your code.
UPDATE:
change this line
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0L, 0.0f, this);
to
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0L, 10.0f, this);
You'll receive updates after moving 10m.
The second parameter is time in millisecond, the third is minimum distance. But it doesn't mean you'll get update exactly at the requested time or requested distance, but rather about it.

//Public or class variable of previous speed initialised on class.
// float previousSpeed;
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
new_latitude=location.getLatitude();
new_longitude=location.getLongitude();
float speed = location.getSpeed();
//You could also use location.hasSpeed(), which is a boolean, but it almost
//always returns True
if(speed > DESIRED_LIMIT && previousSpeed > DESIRED_LIMIT){
lat1=new_latitude;
lon1=new_longitude;
}
previousSpeed = speed;
}
So something like that. That condition is not very well optimized or designed. But that is how you get GPS speed from location object. You can tweak the speed limit or the whole condition to get the best results. Or add even more history of speed to monitor.

You can use the location spoofer application from the android market and specify the duration of spoofing the location and also the distance
