You have coded in Activity, I suggest you to changed it to Android Service. A Service is a component which runs in the background, without interacting with the user.
Have a look at Vogella's Service Example.
Just Convert your Activity code into Android Service and it will work in background without any GUI.

I am new in android and recently start learning about Android and I am trying to get location of any android device by its unique android id. By that I can track the approx or exact location either by GPS or network provider. In detail I mean to say that whenever i enter any Android id in my app i can get device location in my application. Thanks for your kind help.
Finally I am able to do with this code:

if you want to get location of any device who has your app in their mobile , you can get it ,
firstly in your app you can upload locations to your server with memberid(you can set it , unique for every device) for every x time(you can set it how many times you update the location).
And then you can check your db on your server which device in where.
(my advice you can use webservice to update db on your server)
i am developing one application in that i am successfully getting location but but before getting location i want to check my gps settings and if it is not enable ,display settings of gps from my app ,i wrote but its not working please tell me where i made mistake

I think you are doing well, after viewing your code and problem, i got that you want only location from GPS.If that is enable then ok Otherwise show dialog for enable.
For achieve that you will remove two condition.
else if (locationManagerAsync.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER)) {
providerAsync = LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER;
}else if (locationManagerAsync.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.PASSIVE_PROVIDER)) {
providerAsync = LocationManager.PASSIVE_PROVIDER;
//Toast.makeText(ContextAsync, "Switch On Data Connection!!!!",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
because of this you will not get gps enable popup dialog.
i think it will work.
I need to track user location continuously whether my application is running or not, for this i have a created a background Service and calculate latitude and longitude on Asyntask in this service , my code is running well in emulator but on device it got crashed after saying application is not responding.

Man you are doing very heavy task on your main thread which is
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location loc) {
handleLocationChanged(loc);
}
your method will be called very frequently may be 3-4 times in sec (Did not count how many time). Actually it will be called when ever you location details changed. You are calling method handleLocationChanged(loc); in which you are calling
generateNoteOnSD("GpsTesting", "lattitude is" + lattitude + "\n"
+ " longitude" + longitude);
Method which is creating/opening file in sd card and writing data into it. This can create a problem and you can encounter problem of ANR in the application.
Do not do that. Use a difference of time like 2-3 seconds to write location data into file. Also you are directly writing data not updating it so also keep that in mind.
Hope that helps.
Finally i had got my answer, nothing is wrong in above code just using Myservice.this in place of MainActivity.getContextForService() and increasing time to 0 to 5000 milliseconds , Now its working like charm
I have application to get location from gps
but if GPS disabled my application getting force close
in emulator it's fine not error,but if run in device it's force close
how can i do this??
this is my code:
public class Track extends Activity implements LocationListener{
String curTime;
double lat;
double lng;
double alt;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
final LocationManager locationManager;
String context = Context.LOCATION_SERVICE;
locationManager = (LocationManager)getSystemService(context);
Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
criteria.setAccuracy(Criteria.ACCURACY_FINE);
criteria.setAltitudeRequired(false);
criteria.setBearingRequired(false);
criteria.setCostAllowed(true);
criteria.setPowerRequirement(Criteria.POWER_LOW);
final String provider = locationManager.getBestProvider(criteria, true);
Dbhelper helper = new Dbhelper(this);
final SQLiteDatabase db = helper.getWritableDatabase();
updateWithNewLocation(null);
Timer timer = new Timer();
timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask(){
#Override
public void run(){
db.isOpen();
db.execSQL("INSERT INTO location (longitude,latitude,altitude,tgl_buat) VALUES " +
"('"+lng+"','"+lat+"','"+alt+"','"+curTime+"')");
//db.close();
}
}, 10*60*1000, 10*60*1000);
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(provider, (10*60*1000), 10,
locationListener);
PackageManager manager = this.getPackageManager();
PackageInfo info = null;
try {
info = manager.getPackageInfo(this.getPackageName(), 0);
} catch (NameNotFoundException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
Toast.makeText(this,
"PackageName = " + info.packageName + "\nVersionCode = "
+ info.versionCode + "\nVersionName = "
+ info.versionName + "\nPermissions = "+info.permissions, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
System.out.println("PackageName = " + info.packageName + "\nVersionCode = "
+ info.versionCode + "\nVersionName = "
+ info.versionName + "\nPermissions = "+info.permissions);
}
private final LocationListener locationListener = new LocationListener() {
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
updateWithNewLocation(location);
}
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider){
updateWithNewLocation(null);
}
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider){ }
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status,

};
public void updateWithNewLocation(Location location) {
if (location != null) {

System.out.println(lng);
System.out.println(alt);

please give me a solution..thank you for feed back :)
If you want to turn on GPS enabled automatically in your app, I'm afraid there is no way other than prompt the user.
You can achieve that easily with modifying onProviderDisabled() method in your LocationListener. The idea is to open a dialog asking user to turn on GPS:
public void onProviderDisabled(String arg0)
{
showDialog(CHOICE_GPS_ENABLE);
}
add in your activity:
protected final static int CHOICE_GPS_ENABLE = 1; //or any other number
#Override
protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id)
{
Dialog dialog = null;
switch (id)
{
case CHOICE_GPS_ENABLE:
dialog = createGPSEnableDialog();
break;
default:
dialog = super.onCreateDialog(id);
break;
}
return dialog;
}
protected Dialog createGPSEnableDialog()
{
Dialog toReturnGPS;
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
builder.setMessage("You don't have GPS enabled. Go to Settings and enable GPS?");
builder.setTitle("GPS failed");
builder.setPositiveButton("Yes, enable GPS",
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener()
{
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which)
{
Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS);
startActivity(intent);
}
});
builder.setNegativeButton("No, quit application",
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener()
{
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which)
{
onDestroy();
}
});
toReturnGPS = builder.create();
return toReturnGPS;
}
Hope it helps.
i want GPS turn on automatically if my application running
how can i do this??
I don't think you can do anything beyond prompt the user to turn it on. So Im afraid you are going to be unable to make your application work how you'd like.
use
Location locationtest;
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
locationtest=location;
updateWithNewLocation(locationtest);
}
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider){
locationtest= null;
updateWithNewLocation(locationtest);
}
instead of
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider){
updateWithNewLocation(null);
}
I am not able to get the location even though the GPS is enabled and all location managers and listeners are set correctly. Here's what I have so far:
public class GpsTest extends Activity {
private TextView text;
private LocationManager manager;
private LocationListener listener;
private Location myLocation;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
text = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView1);
try
{
manager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
myLocation = manager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER); //"gps"
text.setText(("Lat: " + myLocation.getLatitude()
+ "\nLLong: " + myLocation.getLongitude()));
listener = new MyLocationListener();
manager.requestLocationUpdates(
LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,
0,
1,
listener);
if (manager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER)){
Toast.makeText(this, "GPS is enable. ", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
else createGpsDisabledAlert();
}catch(Exception ex)
{
createGpsDisabledAlert();
}
}
public void onclicklistener(View v){
try
{
text.setText(("Lat: " + myLocation.getLatitude()
+ "\nLLong: " + myLocation.getLongitude()));
}catch(Exception ex)
{
Toast.makeText(this, "Error while getting locations. "+ex.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
private void createGpsDisabledAlert(){
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
builder.setMessage("GPS is disabled! Would you like to enable it?")
.setCancelable(false)
.setPositiveButton("Enable GPS",
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener(){
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id){
showGpsOptions();
}
});
builder.setNegativeButton("No Thanks",
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener(){
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id){
dialog.cancel();
}
});
AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
alert.show();
}
private void showGpsOptions(){
Intent gpsOptionsIntent = new Intent(
android.provider.Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS);
startActivity(gpsOptionsIntent);
}
private class MyLocationListener implements LocationListener{
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if (location != null){
text.setText(("Lat: " + location.getLatitude()
+ "\nLLong: " + location.getLongitude()));
}
Toast.makeText(GpsTest.this, ""+location, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
#Override
public void onStatusChanged(String arg0, int arg1, Bundle arg2) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
}
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status,
Bundle extras) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
}
You must to use a thread with his run() method like this (Is in spanish, i hope this not a problem for you)
#Override
public void run() {
mLocationManager = (LocationManager)context.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
if (mLocationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER)) {
Looper.prepare();
mToast.Make(getContext(),"GPS",0);
mLocationListener = new MyLocationListener();
mLocationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0, mLocationListener);
Looper.loop();
Looper.myLooper().quit();
} else if (mLocationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER)){
Looper.prepare();
mToast.Make(getContext(),"Triangulacion",0);
mLocationListener = new MyLocationListener();
mLocationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 0, 0, mLocationListener);
Looper.loop();
Looper.myLooper().quit();
}else{
mToast.Make(context,"No se encuentra señal se procede a mandar un mensaje normal",0);
Looper.prepare();
handlerNormal.sendEmptyMessage(0);
Looper.loop();
Looper.myLooper().quit();
}
}
Are you testing on emulator or real device? If you are testing on emulator, check this http://www.javacodegeeks.com/2010/09/android-location-based-services.html and read about DDMS section for location controls. You need to provide some dummy location data for first occurrence and after that it will grab your current location.
