Can't create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare() in AsyncTask

im trying to get the city using Geocoder that android have
its app we creating as homework.
I'm trying to do it inside a AsyncTask but i get the this exception:

Create the locationListener to keep a reference to it.
Create a class to trigger the LocationUpdates
public class GeocoderTask {
LocationManager locationManager;
Location location;
Context context;
String city;
LocationListener locationListener = new LocationListener(){
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
GeocoderTask.this.location = location;
Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(context, Locale.getDefault());
List<Address> addresses;
FrgPersonInfo frgPersonInfo = new FrgPersonInfo();
System.out.println(city);
frgPersonInfo.saveUserToTable(s);
try {
addresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(GeocoderTask.this.location.getLatitude(), GeocoderTask.this.location.getLongitude(), 3);
city = addresses.get(0).getLocality();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (Exception e){
e.getMessage();
}
}
#Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {}
#Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {}
#Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {}
}
public GeocoderTask(Context context) {
this.context = context;
locationManager = (LocationManager)context.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
}
public void getUpdate(){
locationManager.requestSingleUpdate(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,locationListener,null
}
You just have to create the class and use the locationListener to call the Function getUpdate, this will call the Update once. You could also use requestUpdates and create a function to remove the listener if you want more updates.

Asynctask is a Thread, which only executes the tasks which it should and doesn't need a Looper and though there is no Looper called for this Thread. The Locationlistener works different, than that, what you have tried. OnLocationchanged get's called as long as you don't stop the listener, but this is happening asynchronously and you can't just wait inside an asynctask for this to finish. You have to start the locationlistener from your Mainthread and whenever your Location gets changed the function onLocationChanged gets called. You could for example put your onPostExecution inside the locationlistener.
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
GeocoderTask.this.location = location;
Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(context, Locale.getDefault());
List<Address> addresses;
try {
addresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(GeocoderTask.this.location.getLatitude(), GeocoderTask.this.location.getLongitude(), 3);
city = addresses.get(0).getLocality();
FrgPersonInfo frgPersonInfo = new FrgPersonInfo();
System.out.println(city);
frgPersonInfo.saveUserToTable(s);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (Exception e){
e.getMessage();
}

Broadcast manager not working in Fragment

I have a BroadcastReceiver which is used to receive data from a BLE device. The same code is working fine in an Activity but not in Fragment.
Here is the code:

The complete code in the same ay with a few changes in working fine in Activity. Any idea what might be the blocker.? Do I need to do something else in the fragment to receive the data from the Local Broadcast Manager.?

Please try this way :
Create class BroadcastHelper
public class BroadcastHelper {
public static final String BROADCAST_EXTRA_METHOD_NAME = "INPUT_METHOD_CHANGED";
public static final String ACTION_NAME = "hossam";
public static void sendInform(Context context, String method) {
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(ACTION_NAME);
intent.putExtra(BROADCAST_EXTRA_METHOD_NAME, method);
try {
context.sendBroadcast(intent);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public static void sendInform(Context context, String method, Intent intent) {
intent.setAction(ACTION_NAME);
intent.putExtra(BROADCAST_EXTRA_METHOD_NAME, method);
try {
context.sendBroadcast(intent);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
And in your fragment :
private Receiver receiver;
private boolean isReciverRegistered = false;
#Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
if (receiver == null) {
receiver = new Receiver();
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(BroadcastHelper.ACTION_NAME);
getActivity().registerReceiver(receiver, filter);
isReciverRegistered = true;
}
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
if (isReciverRegistered) {
if (receiver != null)
getActivity().unregisterReceiver(receiver);
}
super.onDestroy();
}
private class Receiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context arg0, Intent arg1) {
Log.v("r", "receive " + arg1.getStringExtra(BroadcastHelper.BROADCAST_EXTRA_METHOD_NAME));
String methodName = arg1.getStringExtra(BroadcastHelper.BROADCAST_EXTRA_METHOD_NAME);
if (methodName != null && methodName.length() > 0) {
Log.v("receive", methodName);
switch (methodName) {
case "Test":
Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "message", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
break;
default:
break;
}
}
}
}
And to send your broadcast this this code :
BroadcastHelper.sendInform(context, "Test");
Or if you want to send data with it use :
Intent intent = new Intent("intent");
intent.putExtra("desc", desc);
intent.putExtra("name", Local_name);
intent.putExtra("code", productCode);
BroadcastHelper.sendInform(getActivity(), "Test" , intent);

I have a fragment where I do something similar. I put my code to setup the service in onCreateView and have a register and unregister in onPause() and onResume. Works good for me.

Can you check modify register receiver in service_init()
as
getActivity().registerReceiver(UARTStatusChangeReceiver, makeGattUpdateIntentFilter());
and for unregisterer receiver
getActivity().unregisterReceiver(UARTStatusChangeReceiver);

Cannot run android app in background through service

One thing you could try is to check the permissions of the app on the phone itself. I've found with my device (Android version 6.0.1) it's not enough to just add "uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" /> and
"uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />"
in the manifest, you have to grant permissions to the app manually on the device.
To do this, go to Settings > Apps > 'yourApp' > Permissions and slide across the bar to turn on Location for that app.
I'm new enough to Android apps myself so there may be a bigger problem in your case I'm not sure but worth a try anyway!

Get ride of 0.0 location using google locationManager

I am using google location to get the location based on the best provider, so i am running that on a service, the service is responsable to update location based on a defined distance and time.
Everything is working well when i update my location, but i wanna get ride of the 0.0 location, when i doesn't update the location i need to get the current location, or to use the lastknowlocation how can i do it using my code below?

When you get a location that is !=0.0, store it in a variable, or in Shared Preferences, or anywhere else you want. Then the next time you get 0.0 from locationManager, just use the latest real value that you stored previously.

Save a double value from textView to a variable

I am making a geocoder-reverse geocoder.
The coordinates are generated in a textview which I want to further use in reverse geocoding.
The problem is that the app suddenly stops working when I try to save the contents of textview into the variable. LATITUDE = Double.parseDouble(t.getText().toString());
LATITUDE being the variable, t is the textView in which the coordinates are generated.
Is there any other way to save a double value from textView into a variable so that it can be used further.
If not, can this problem be solved.
Thanks in Advance :)
Here is my java code:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private Button b;
public TextView t;
public TextView u;
public TextView add;
private LocationManager locationManager;
private LocationListener listener;
public Button b2;
private EditText e;
double LATITUDE;
double LONGITUDE;
#Override
protected void onCreate(#Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
t = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView);
u = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView3);
add = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView4);
b = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button);
b2 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button2);
e = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText);
b2.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
String number = e.getText().toString();
String loc = t.getText().toString();
String loc1 = u.getText().toString();
String loc2 = add.getText().toString();
Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
sendIntent.setData(Uri.parse("sms:"+number));
sendIntent.putExtra("sms_body",loc+loc1+loc2);
try {
startActivity(sendIntent);
finish();
Log.i("Finished sending SMS...", "");
}
catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,
"SMS failed, please try again later.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
});
locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
listener = new LocationListener() {
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
t.append("\n " + location.getLatitude());
u.append("\n " + location.getLongitude());
}
#Override
public void onStatusChanged(String s, int i, Bundle bundle) {
}
#Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String s) {
}
#Override

startActivity(i);
}
};
configure_button();
}
#Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, #NonNull String[] permissions, #NonNull int[] grantResults) {
switch (requestCode){
case 10:
configure_button();
break;
default:
break;
}
}
void configure_button(){
// first check for permissions
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {

}

b.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
//noinspection MissingPermission
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates("gps",15000,0, listener);
}
});
}
public void phone(View view) {
Intent i = new Intent(this,Main2Activity.class);
startActivity(i);
}
public void address(View view) {
LATITUDE = Double.parseDouble(t.getText().toString());
LONGITUDE = Double.parseDouble(u.getText().toString());
Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(this, Locale.ENGLISH);
String result;
try {
List<Address> addressList = geocoder.getFromLocation(LATITUDE, LONGITUDE, 1);
if (addressList != null && addressList.size() > 0) {
Address address = addressList.get(0);
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i < address.getMaxAddressLineIndex(); i++) {

You are appending new coordinated to the textView by the following line.
t.append("\n " + location.getLatitude())
So now when you read the textView t you get all the values separated by \n. Try to split this first so you will get an array of string. Then run a loop converting all the strings to double.
Here is an example of how you can split strings
String string = "004-034556";
String[] parts = string.split("-");
String part1 = parts[0]; // 004
String part2 = parts[1]; // 034556

Why dont you put in a class level string array during appending in the textview. So clean and safe code.No risk of null pointer during spliting.
