i have a problem. When i test this. and i ask for the showCurrentLocation function it always returns null. It works in the emulator when i send the location after. But i need this to work on the phone, and there you can't send the location like in de DDNS window.
Here's my code
public class LbsGeocodingActivity extends Activity {
private static final long MINIMUM_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES = 1; // in Meters
private static final long MINIMUM_TIME_BETWEEN_UPDATES = 1; // in Milliseconds
protected LocationManager locationManager;
protected Button retrieveLocationButton;
protected Button stopLocationButton;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
retrieveLocationButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.retrieve_location_button);
locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(
LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,
MINIMUM_TIME_BETWEEN_UPDATES,
MINIMUM_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES,
new MyLocationListener()
);
retrieveLocationButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
showCurrentLocation();
}
});
/*stopLocationButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
//locationManager.removeUpdates(MyLocationListener) ;
}
}); */
}
public String getMyPhoneNumber(){
TelephonyManager mTelephonyMgr;
mTelephonyMgr = (TelephonyManager)
getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
return mTelephonyMgr.getLine1Number();
}
protected void showCurrentLocation() {
Criteria crit = new Criteria();
crit.setAccuracy(Criteria.ACCURACY_FINE);
String provider = locationManager.getBestProvider(crit, true);
Location loc = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(provider);
if (loc != null) {
String longi = "" + loc.getLongitude();
String lat = "" + loc.getLatitude();
String num = getMyPhoneNumber();
String message = String.format(
"Current Location \n Longitude: %1$s \n Latitude: %2$s \n %3$s ",
longi,
lat,
num );
Toast.makeText(LbsGeocodingActivity.this, message,
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
if (loc == null)Toast.makeText(LbsGeocodingActivity.this, "Null ",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
private class MyLocationListener implements LocationListener {
public void onLocationChanged(Location loc) {
String longi = "" + loc.getLongitude();
String lat = "" + loc.getLatitude();
String num = getMyPhoneNumber();
String message = String.format(
"New Location \n Longitude: %1$s \n Latitude: %2$s \n %3$s ",
longi,
lat,
num );
Toast.makeText(LbsGeocodingActivity.this, message, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
public void onStatusChanged(String s, int i, Bundle b) {
Toast.makeText(LbsGeocodingActivity.this, "Provider status changed",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
public void onProviderDisabled(String s) {
Toast.makeText(LbsGeocodingActivity.this,
"Provider disabled by the user. GPS turned off",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
public void onProviderEnabled(String s) {
Toast.makeText(LbsGeocodingActivity.this,
"Provider enabled by the user. GPS turned on",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
}
My permissions are: FINE_LOCATION COURSE_LOCATION.
I really just want it that it tracks the users location, even on the background..
