You need to pass the same object implementing LocationListener that you requested location updates for to the locationManager.removeUpdates() method.

So in unless this and gpsl are one and the same, you should call:

locationManager.removeUpdates(gpsl);

If you are using maps, you have to do:

locationManager.removeUpdates(locationListener);

mMap.setMylocationEnabled(false);

.setMyLocationEnabled(false) is actually what was missing in my code. Thanks a lot! – marson Oct 02 '14 at 16:07

You could pass the parameter like this GPSLocationListener.this

locationManager.removeGpsStatusListener(GPSLocationListener.this);

the compile will not be wrong

You need to use the *instance* name rather than the *class* name when removing the listener. In your original question, your listener is a variable called `gpsl`. Presumably, this is a member variable in your class. If not, make it a member variable instead of local to that method. Then you can pass `gpsl` when you call `removeGpsStatusListener`. – Christopher Orr Jan 06 '10 at 14:50

You can't use removeGpsStatusListener with a LocationListener! A LocationListener is different from a GpsStatus.Listener. – Erwan May 29 '13 at 02:51

You have to pass the instance to your GPSLocationListener go the removeGpsStatusListener method and not the class name.
