For a speed measuring app, I need to get the latitude and longitude updates after every four seconds. I've used the sleep function between the two calls to getLatitude and getLongitude functions. But printing it on screen shows the value remains the same i.e. lon1 and lon2, as doubles (14 places after the decimal) have exactly the same value and hence speed too is shown 0.
How to get Latitude and Longitude after fixed intervals of time (4 secs here)? Much thanks in advance.
locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
locationListener = new LocationListener()
{
@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
double r = 6371;
double lat1 = location.getLatitude();
double lon1 = location.getLongitude(); // To get initial longitude
SystemClock.sleep(4000); /////This seems ineffective.
double lat2 = location.getLatitude();
double lon2 = location.getLongitude(); // and here
double dlat = (lat2-lat1)*22/7/180;
double dlon = (lon2-lon1)*22/7/180;
textView.append("lon1:"+lon1+" lon2:"+lon2+" Kmph\n");
lat1 = lat1*22/7/180;
lat2 = lat2*22/7/180;
double h = ((1-Math.cos(dlat))/2) + Math.cos(lat1)*Math.cos(lat2)*(1-Math.cos(dlon))/2;
double d = 2**Math.asin(Math.sqrt(h));
double sp = d/3;
textView.append(" "+ sp + " Kmph\n");
}
