I have a service that will send location updates in a background thread. I have declared the service in the manifest as:
<service android:name="mypackage.LocationUpdater"></service>
I get my data from the activity in OnStartComand. But the OnLocationChanged is not called at all. I am unable to call the sendLocation() method from anywhere in the service.
public class LocationUpdater extends Service implements ConnectionCallbacks, OnConnectionFailedListener, LocationListener {
LocationListener mLocationListener;
LocationRequest mLocationRequest;
GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;
Location mLastLocation; //this object should be used to request location updates
String p = "test", d = "test";
@Override
public void onCreate() {
buildGoogleApiClient();
}
protected synchronized void buildGoogleApiClient() {
mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
.addConnectionCallbacks(this)
.addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
.addApi(LocationServices.API)
.build();
}
protected void createLocationRequest() {
LocationRequest mLocationRequest = new LocationRequest();
mLocationRequest.setInterval(5000);
mLocationRequest.setFastestInterval(3000);
mLocationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
}
@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
p = intent.getStringExtra("ptok");
d = intent.getStringExtra("dtok");
// We want this service to continue running until it is explicitly
// stopped, so return sticky.
return START_NOT_STICKY;
}
@Override
public void onConnected(Bundle connectionHint) {
mLastLocation = LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation(
mGoogleApiClient);
mLocationRequest = LocationRequest.create();
mLocationRequest.setInterval(5000);
mLocationRequest.setFastestInterval(3000);
mLocationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, mLocationRequest, this);
if (mLastLocation != null) {
String latitude = String.valueOf(mLastLocation.getLatitude());
String longitude = String.valueOf(mLastLocation.getLongitude());
sendLocation(p, latitude, longitude, d);
}
}
@Override
public void onConnectionSuspended(int i) {
}
@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if(location != null) {
double latitude = location.getLatitude();
double longitude = location.getLongitude();
Log.i("info", "Latitude :: " + latitude);
Log.i("info", "Longitude :: " + longitude);
//sending location details
sendLocation(p, String.valueOf(latitude), String.valueOf(longitude), d);
}
}
}
I have to also add onConnected is never called as well. All I see is onStartComand being called and pass the values sent from my activity using intent.
