My app has two activities that need GPS, so I tried to offload it to a separate class that either activity could use. I found an answer here that looked easy enough Android - Best way to implement LocationListener across multiple activities But of course, it's not working for me. I was wondering if anyone can see the issue. I used pretty much exactly the same code, but I got rid of the gps settings dialog.
Here's my GPS class
package fieldlayout.skipmorrow.com.fieldlayout;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.location.LocationManager;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.location.LocationListener;
import android.location.Location;
import android.util.Log;
/**
* Created by skip on 4/20/2015.
*/
public class GPS {
private IGPSActivity main;
// Helper for GPS-Position
private LocationListener mlocListener;
private LocationManager mlocManager;
private boolean isRunning;
public GPS(IGPSActivity main) {
this.main = main;
// GPS Position
mlocManager = (LocationManager) ((Activity) this.main).getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
mlocListener = new MyLocationListener();
mlocManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0, mlocListener);
// GPS Position END
this.isRunning = true;
Log.i("FieldLayout_GPS", "GPS Object created");
}
public void stopGPS() {
if(isRunning) {
mlocManager.removeUpdates(mlocListener);
this.isRunning = false;
}
Log.i("FieldLayout_GPS", "stopGPS");
}
public void resumeGPS() {
mlocManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0, mlocListener);
this.isRunning = true;
Log.i("FieldLayout_GPS", "resumeGPS");
}
public boolean isRunning() {
return this.isRunning;
}
public class MyLocationListener implements LocationListener {
private final String TAG = MyLocationListener.class.getSimpleName();
@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location loc) {
GPS.this.main.locationChanged(loc.getLongitude(), loc.getLatitude());
Log.i("FieldLayout_GPS", "onLocationChanged");
}
@Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
Log.i("FieldLayout_GPS", "onStatusChanged");
}
@Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
Log.i("FieldLayout_GPS", "onProviderEnabled");
}
@Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
Log.i("FieldLayout_GPS", "onProviderDisabled");
}
}
}
The interface file
package fieldlayout.skipmorrow.com.fieldlayout;
/**
* Created by skip on 4/20/2015.
*/
public interface IGPSActivity {
public void locationChanged(double longitude, double latitude);
}
And my implementation from my activity
package fieldlayout.skipmorrow.com.fieldlayout;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
public class StartActivity extends ActionBarActivity implements IGPSActivity{
private Location currentLocation;
private GPS gps;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_start);
gps = new GPS(this);
}
@Override
protected void onResume() {
if (!gps.isRunning()) gps.resumeGPS();
super.onResume();
}
@Override
protected void onStop() {
// Disconnecting the client invalidates it.
Log.i("FieldLayout_StartAct", "onStop called. Disconnecting GPS client");
gps.stopGPS();
super.onStop();
}
@Override
public void locationChanged(double longitude, double latitude) {
Log.i("FieldLayout_StartAct", "locationChanged");
currentLocation.setLatitude(latitude);
currentLocation.setLongitude(longitude);
}
}
The only log I am seeing is the creation of the GPS object. None of the other methods in the listener are being executed.
