I'm wondering why my app still finds location although the GPS is disabled. So I asked myselft why this is possible and I have too less knowledge about this. Maybe the NETWORK_PROVIDER needs no GPS?
I promise, GPS is really disabled.
Can anyone tell me how this is possible?
I have this in my App:
in oncreate():
locationManager = (LocationManager)context.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
Method:
public void getGpsLocation(){
locationManager.requestSingleUpdate(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, myLocationListener, this.getMainLooper());
}
Listener:
LocationListener myLocationListener = new LocationListener() {
// When location has changed
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
locationManager.removeUpdates(this);
locationAll = location;
// positionOnceFound = true --> location was already found and no further update necessary
//if (location != null && positionOnceFound == false)
if (location != null)
{
// location is found, no more update necessary --> true
positionOnceFound = true;
// get Lat/Lon of my current position
myPosLat = location.getLatitude();
myPosLon = location.getLongitude();
// For calculating the point B(right top corner) and point C(left bottom corner
// Lat/Lon of B and C needed for getting the prices from this area around my position
double dy = 5.0 / 110.54; // 5.0 -> 5km to vertical
double dx = 5.0 / (111.320 * Math.cos(myPosLat / 180 * Math.PI)); // 5km to horizontal
// Get point B
rightTopCornerLon = myPosLon + dx;
rightTopCornerLat = myPosLat + dy;
// Get point C
leftBottomCornerLon = myPosLon - dx;
leftBottomCornerLat = myPosLat - dy;
System.out.println("Alat: " + myPosLat + " Alon: " + myPosLon + " Blat: " + rightTopCornerLat + " Blon: " + rightTopCornerLon +
" Clat: " + leftBottomCornerLat + " Clon: " + leftBottomCornerLon);
getCityName(isItStartOrStop);
}
}
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {}
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {}
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {}
