I have used manager.requestLocationUpdates("gps", 1000, 0, new LocationDetector());
to get update after every second. But this method is never triggering onLocationChanged()
method. I have run my application many times, and I have also tried to wait up to 30 minutes for getting update, but no update is being displayed on Android Monitor. I have also double checked my device's GPS which is ON. So Kindly tell what can be the problem?
Code:
public class LocationDetector implements LocationListener {
@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
Log.d("GPS: ", location.getLatitude()+ ", " +location.getLongitude());
}
Output:
This is a duplicate of this question, also asked by you. In any case, you could try using GoogleAPIClient
- like this:
LocationRequest locationRequest = LocationRequest.create();
locationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
locationRequest.setInterval(60000); // update every (1) minutes
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(googleApiClient,locationRequest, yourLocationDetector );
Where the googleApiClient is instantiated and connected in some helper method like this:
/**
* Helper method to connect the Google API Client
*/
private void connectGoogleAPIClient() {
googleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(context)
.addApi(LocationServices.API)
.addConnectionCallbacks(this)
.addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
.build();
googleApiClient.connect();
}
You also need to make sure you have added the permission:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
Your problem might be related to the one discussed here - so please also look at the selected answer there and see if it does not help your case as well.
This is what a typical location request should look like:
Note: I have Activity
as a parameter because I call this from an Activity. It is in my util class.
public static void getLocation(Activity activity) {
final LocationListener locationListener = new LocationListener() {
@Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
Log.i(TAG, "onProviderEnabled");
}
@Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
Log.i(TAG, "onProviderDisabled");
}
@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
Log.i(TAG, "onLocationChanged");
}
@Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
Log.i(TAG, "onStatusChanged");
}
};
final LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) appContext.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
final Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
criteria.setAccuracy(Criteria.ACCURACY_FINE);
criteria.setCostAllowed(false);
criteria.setAltitudeRequired(false);
criteria.setBearingRequired(false);
criteria.setSpeedRequired(false);
activity.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(1000, 0, criteria, locationListener, null);
}
});
}
EDIT:
like @ishmaelMakitla said,
make sure to have the following permission:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
