I am using google play service for a running app i am making. I am getting the problem that onlocationchanged is not being called. First i though it was the android device that was not working but after testing it with GPS test it seems the device was working as it should. So it must be my code. Onlocationchanged is just not being called by the gps_provider but when i use network_provider it is working but the updates are so slow and in accurate that you can't build a sport runner app with it.
This is my code, what should i do to fix this?
this is in my manifest
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.befitdonate.befitdonate.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" />

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_GPS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_LOCATION" />

This is my fragment i am using to track the users route on the map.

I have spend about a week trying several solution but still stuck with this problem. I need an accurate way to track the route of the runner. I can't find any sport app samples, but enough other location samples but nothing seems to be working. I hope someone can help me with this.
Thanks
