How to get device current location after each second or after each 10 second?

Question

when i am trying to get current location using GPS Tracker ,it is tacking time only for first time but i want to get location after specific interval ? i am getting all address line by line like locality sub locality and all but after that interval for first time any solution will be appreciated..

Are you sure you can lock to the GPS in time ? What API are you using ? — AxelH, Oct 26 '17 at 12:57

Start your app service in background to get timely location updates.

public class MYService extends Service implements LocationListener {

}

and do async task on timely to get periodic location updates.

TimerTask doAsynchronousTask = new TimerTask() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        handler.post(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {

            }
        });
    }
};

//Starts after 20 sec and will repeat on every 20 sec of time interval.
timer.schedule(doAsynchronousTask, 20000,20000);  // 20 sec timer

it will give location updates on every 20 SEC.

It can be done by using GPS tracker with service as above answers or Fused location API of google and with both we can set interval as per our requirement. – Ankesh Roy Nov 24 '17 at 10:58
yes you can set your own time to get location updates and it needs to ON device GPS and use of fused location API for location updates. – Avinash Shinde Nov 27 '17 at 11:02

Try this code. make an interface GetLocation

public interface GetLocation {
    public void onLocationChanged(Location location);
    public void onStatusChanged(String s, int i, Bundle bundle);
    public void onProviderEnabled(String s);
    public void onProviderDisabled(String s);
}

then make a class CurrentLocation and implements LocationListener

public class CurrentLocation implements LocationListener {

    Context context;
    LocationManager locationManager;
    String provider;

    GetLocation getLocation;

    public CurrentLocation(Context context) {

        this.context = context;
        getLocation = (GetLocation) context;
        location();
    }

    public void location() {
        // Getting LocationManager object
        locationManager = (LocationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);

        // anruag getting last location
      //  Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);

        // Creating an empty criteria object
        Criteria criteria = new Criteria();

        // Getting the name of the provider that meets the criteria
        provider = locationManager.getBestProvider(criteria, false);

        if (provider != null && !provider.equals(" ")) {

            // Get the location from the given provider
            if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {

                return;
            }
            Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(provider);

            locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(provider, 20000, 1, this);

            if (location != null)
                onLocationChanged(location);
            else {

            }
                // Toast.makeText(context, "Location can't be retrieved", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

        } else {
            Toast.makeText(context, "No Provider Found", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {

        // Log.e("Location", location.getProvider() + "==" + location.getAccuracy() + "==" + location.getAltitude() + "==" + location.getLatitude() + "==" + location.getLongitude());
        getLocation.onLocationChanged(location);
        String message = String.format(
                "New Location \n Longitude: %1$s \n Latitude: %2$s",
                location.getLongitude(), location.getLatitude());

        ConstantValues.UPlat = String.valueOf(location.getLatitude());
        ConstantValues.UPlng = String.valueOf(location.getLongitude());

    }

    @Override
    public void onStatusChanged(String s, int i, Bundle bundle) {
        Log.e("onStatusChanged", "==" + s);
        getLocation.onStatusChanged(s, i, bundle);
    }

    @Override
    public void onProviderEnabled(String s) {
        Log.e("onProviderEnabled", "==" + s);
        getLocation.onProviderEnabled(s);
    }

    @Override
    public void onProviderDisabled(String s) {
        Log.e("onProviderDisabled", "==" + s);
        getLocation.onProviderDisabled(s);
        // alertbox("GPS STATUS", "Your GPS is: OFF");
        // Toast.makeText(context, "Please turn on the GPS to get current location.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

        try {

            ConstantValues.showDialogOK("Please turn on the GPS to get current location.", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialogInterface, int i) {
                    switch (i) {
                        case DialogInterface.BUTTON_POSITIVE:
                            Intent myIntent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS);
                            context.startActivity(myIntent);
                            dialogInterface.dismiss();
                            break;
                        case DialogInterface.BUTTON_NEGATIVE:
                            dialogInterface.dismiss();
                            break;
                    }
                }
            }, context);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.e("exception", e.toString()+"==");
        }

    }

}

call this class in any Activity where you want to get the current location

CurrentLocation currentLocation;

declare these two global variables for minimum distance change and time interval

private static final long MINIMUM_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES = 1;
    // Meters
private static final long MINIMUM_TIME_BETWEEN_UPDATES = 1000;

make its object in onCreate

currentLocation = new CurrentLocation(this);

make a method

public void locationWithPermission() {
        locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);

        if (checkAndRequestPermissions()) {
            if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {

                return;
            }
            locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,
                    MINIMUM_TIME_BETWEEN_UPDATES,
                    MINIMUM_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES, new CurrentLocation(this));

        }
    }

and call this method in your Activity on any event you want to get Location

Thank you so much for such better solution. – Ankesh Roy Nov 24 '17 at 07:24 — Ankesh Roy, Nov 24 '17 at 07:24
