I am trying to have a constant gps listener that will send its location (long and lat coordinates) to a web server every x mins. On a button click it will also send its location to the webserver. I realize that to get the gps signal you type in how often to find a position, but how do I write a program that can get the gps location and send its coordinates every x mins (even in the background when not and by a button press?

//in the on click

LocationManager lm = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
locationManager.requestLocationUpda开发者_StackOverflow社区tes(
        LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, whatshouldIputhere?, 0, this);

and

public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
    if (location != null) {
        double lat = location.getLatitude();
        double lng = location.getLongitude();
    }
}


I've got this working:

private void _getLocation() {
    // Get the location manager
    LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) 
            getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
    Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
    String bestProvider = locationManager.getBestProvider(criteria, false);
    Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(bestProvider);
    try {
        lat = location.getLatitude();
        lon = location.getLongitude();
    } catch (NullPointerException e) {
        lat = -1.0;
        lon = -1.0;
    }
}

It's simple. It gets the best available provider and gets its last known position.
If you want it only with the GPS, try this.

Hope it helps!

EDITED:

try this:

private void _getLocation() {
    // Get the location manager
    LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) 
            getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
    Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
    String bestProvider = locationManager.getBestProvider(criteria, false);
    Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(bestProvider);
    LocationListener loc_listener = new LocationListener() {

        public void onLocationChanged(Location l) {}

        public void onProviderEnabled(String p) {}

        public void onProviderDisabled(String p) {}

        public void onStatusChanged(String p, int status, Bundle extras) {}
    };
    locationManager
            .requestLocationUpdates(bestProvider, 0, 0, loc_listener);
    location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(bestProvider);
    try {
        lat = location.getLatitude();
        lon = location.getLongitude();
    } catch (NullPointerException e) {
        lat = -1.0;
        lon = -1.0;
    }
}

This code gets the last known location and then do a request for the actual location.


One method is to use Timer and TimerTask

Timer timer = new Timer();
timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new SendLocationTask(), 0, 60000);

class SendLocationTask extends TimerTask{
    public abstract void run(){
        // send position info here
    }
}


There are various methods you could use. You could use a separate thread that waits for x minutes and then sends the latest known location to the server. Or you use a Service that does more or less the same. As a third possibility you could also use a Handler.


You can create a thread that will run in background and every x minutes you get the actual position by calling a function that does that (Note that you want to make a function that get the x,y coordinates since you will use that on button click aswel). For the code you posted :

locationManager.requestUpdates(provider, minTime, minDistance, intent);

That means that your application will send a request to gps module every x min for the whatshouldIputhere?

Good luck, Arkde


this code works for me (api 17)

try {
    if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED
            || ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED)
    {
        LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
        Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);

    lat = location.getLatitude();
        lon = location.getLongitude();


    }
}
catch (Exception e){
    e.printStackTrace();
}
