Implementing a background service to catch location

I have an app that can capture fotos and send to the server.
I need to get location(lat,lon,alt) everytime i take a foto.
After a lot of research i understood that taking this data requires some time, the gps triangulation must run asyncronous, so i tried to figure out the best way to do this.
After some time, i had the idea, to start a service, everytime i run the aplication, this service will grab the last location everytime, and when i send a foto i will get the last location values.
So i did something like this(Service):
package com.example.afcosta.inesctec.pt.android.services;
import android.app.Service;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.location.Location;
import android.location.LocationManager;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.IBinder;
import android.util.Log;
public class MyService extends Service {
private static final String TAG = "BOOMBOOMTESTGPS";
private LocationManager mLocationManager = null;
private static final int LOCATION_INTERVAL = 1000;
private static final float LOCATION_DISTANCE = 10f;
private class LocationListener implements android.location.LocationListener
{
Location mLastLocation;
public LocationListener(String provider)
{
Log.e(TAG, "LocationListener " + provider);
mLastLocation = new Location(provider);
}
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location)
{
Log.e("asd", "onLocationChanged: " + location);
mLastLocation.set(location);
}
#Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider)
{
Log.e(TAG, "onProviderDisabled: " + provider);
}
#Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider)
{
Log.e(TAG, "onProviderEnabled: " + provider);
}
#Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras)
{
Log.e(TAG, "onStatusChanged: " + provider);
}
}
LocationListener[] mLocationListeners = new LocationListener[] {
new LocationListener(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER),
new LocationListener(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER)
};
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0)
{
return null;
}
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId)
{
Log.e(TAG, "onStartCommand");
super.onStartCommand(intent, flags, startId);
return START_STICKY;
}
#Override
public void onCreate()
{
Log.e(TAG, "onCreate");
initializeLocationManager();
try {
mLocationManager.requestLocationUpdates(
LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, LOCATION_INTERVAL, LOCATION_DISTANCE,
mLocationListeners[1]);
} catch (java.lang.SecurityException ex) {
Log.i(TAG, "fail to request location update, ignore", ex);
} catch (IllegalArgumentException ex) {
Log.d(TAG, "network provider does not exist, " + ex.getMessage());
}
try {
mLocationManager.requestLocationUpdates(
LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, LOCATION_INTERVAL, LOCATION_DISTANCE,
mLocationListeners[0]);
} catch (java.lang.SecurityException ex) {
Log.i(TAG, "fail to request location update, ignore", ex);
} catch (IllegalArgumentException ex) {
Log.d(TAG, "gps provider does not exist " + ex.getMessage());
}
}
#Override
public void onDestroy()
{
Log.e(TAG, "onDestroy");
super.onDestroy();
if (mLocationManager != null) {
for (int i = 0; i < mLocationListeners.length; i++) {
try {
mLocationManager.removeUpdates(mLocationListeners[i]);
} catch (Exception ex) {
Log.i(TAG, "fail to remove location listners, ignore", ex);
}
}
}
}
private void initializeLocationManager() {
Log.e(TAG, "initializeLocationManager");
if (mLocationManager == null) {
mLocationManager = (LocationManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(this.LOCATION_SERVICE);
}
}
}
and then i call the service when my app runs(at the moment i am testing this just with login(onCreate))
startService(new Intent(this, MyService.class));
i get this logTrace(with red):
`05-22 20:35:39.652 32426-32426/com.example.afcosta.inesctec.pt.android E/BOOMBOOMTESTGPS: LocationListener gps

i don't get any location, i don't know why, the onlocationchanged never runs, if the location doesn't change i want to get the last.
How can i accomplish that?
Thanks

You don't need service class as you can get location in activity in which you are taking photos.
So first of all add permissions in manifest file
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
and dependencies in gradle
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:10.2.6'
Then in activity in which you are taking photos
Implement listeners
public class Activity extends AppCompatActivity implements ConnectionCallbacks, OnConnectionFailedListener{
protected Location mLastLocation;
private double Latitude;
private double Longitude;
in onCreate method ask user for location permission and call
buildGoogleApiClient();
and then define buildGoogleApiClient() method
/**
* Builds a GoogleApiClient. Uses the addApi() method to request the LocationServices API.
*/
protected synchronized void buildGoogleApiClient() {
mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
.addConnectionCallbacks(this)
.addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
.addApi(LocationServices.API)
.build();
}
after that implements listener interfaces methods
#Override
public void onConnected(Bundle connectionHint) {
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
return;
}
mLastLocation = LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation(mGoogleApiClient);
if (mLastLocation != null) {
Latitude = mLastLocation.getLatitude();
Longitude = mLastLocation.getLongitude();
}
}
#Override
public void onConnectionFailed(ConnectionResult result) {
// Refer to the javadoc for ConnectionResult to see what error codes might be returned in
// onConnectionFailed.
Log.i(TAG, "Connection failed: ConnectionResult.getErrorCode() = " + result.getErrorCode());
}
#Override
public void onConnectionSuspended(int cause) {
// The connection to Google Play services was lost for some reason. We call connect() to
// attempt to re-establish the connection.
Log.i(TAG, "Connection suspended");
mGoogleApiClient.connect();
}
then at the end
#Override
protected void onStop() {
super.onStop();
if (mGoogleApiClient.isConnected()) {
mGoogleApiClient.disconnect();
}
}
#Override
protected void onStart() {
super.onStart();
mGoogleApiClient.connect();
}

onLocationChanged() isn't working properly

I'm trying to track users position and draw a path/his route on a map according to his movement (updatePolyline(), updateCamera(), updateMarker() are responsible for drawing a route). Program compiles, but the crucial error is that onLocationChanged() isn't called when location actually changes, thus, no path is beeing drawn.
public class MapsActivity extends FragmentActivity implements OnMapReadyCallback, LocationListener {

Android service not stopping when stopService() is called

I'm having an issue stopping a service that I have started.
The service is called when the user logs in, and starts to track the user's location. This is working fine. The service is meant to stop when the user presses the logout button and is successfully logged out.
It's an android service that is being called through a JavaScript interface by a HTML button.
Here is my Main Class which contains the methods for starting and stopping the service:
public class CasesMain extends DroidGap {
Intent gpsTracking;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
super.init();
appView.addJavascriptInterface(this, "StartGPS");
super.loadUrl(Config.getStartUrl());
}
public void startGPS(){
gpsTracking = new Intent(this, MyService.class);
startService(gpsTracking);
}
public void stopGPS(){
stopService( gpsTracking );
}
}
Here is the MyService class:
public class MyService extends Service {
private LocationManager locManager;
private LocationListener locListener = new myLocationListener();
private boolean gps_enabled = false;
private boolean network_enabled = false;
private Handler handler = new Handler();
Thread t;
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
#Override
public void onCreate() {
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
}
#Override
public void onStart(Intent intent, int startid) {
}
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Service Started", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
.show();
final Runnable r = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
location();
handler.postDelayed(this, 10000);
}
};
handler.postDelayed(r, 10000);
return START_STICKY;
}
public void location() {
locManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
try {
gps_enabled = locManager
.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
} catch (Exception ex) {
}
try {
network_enabled = locManager
.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
} catch (Exception ex) {
}
if (gps_enabled) {
locManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0,
0, locListener);
}
if (network_enabled) {
locManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER,
0, 0, locListener);
}
}
private class myLocationListener implements LocationListener {
double lat_old = 0.0;
double lon_old = 0.0;
double lat_new;
double lon_new;
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
if (location != null) {
locManager.removeUpdates(locListener);
lon_new = location.getLongitude();
lat_new = location.getLatitude();
String longitude = "Longitude: " + location.getLongitude();
String latitude = "Latitude: " + location.getLatitude();
Log.v("Debug", "Latt: " + latitude + " Long: " + longitude);
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
longitude + "\n" + latitude, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
lat_old = lat_new;
lon_old = lon_new;
}
}
#Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
}
#Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
}
#Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
}
}
}
And here is my call to stop the service: window.StartGPS.stopGPS();
The start works perfectly, but when I log out, the app continues to show messages of the latt and long meaning the call to stopService() either didn't work or is not called.
Can anyone see where my mistake is or what is going wrong?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
FIXED
Adding handler.removeCallbacksAndMessages(null); in the onDestroy() method of MyService fixed it for me.

Can anyone see where my mistake is or what is going wrong?
You have an empty onDestroy() method. You need to call removeCallbacks() on your Handler there.

If you are using any android.os.Handler in the service remember to call removeCallbacksAndMessages like this:
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
Toast.makeText(this, "service onDestroy", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Utils.cancelNotification(this);
customHandler.removeCallbacksAndMessages(null);
}
And the service will destroy successfully. It worked for me.

Here's what I would suggest
1) Put more log statements in calls leading to stopService.
2) Implement On ServiceConnection interface and see what's happening in OServiceConnected and onServiceDisconnected.

Android onLocationChanged and MainActivity class

I have the following code:
public class MyLocationListener implements LocationListener {
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location loc) {
// called when the listener is notified with a location update from the GPS
Log.d("Latitude", Double.toString(loc.getLatitude()));
Log.d("Longitude", Double.toString(loc.getLongitude()));
}
#Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
// called when the GPS provider is turned off (user turning off the GPS on the phone)
}
#Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
// called when the GPS provider is turned on (user turning on the GPS on the phone)
}
#Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
}
and in my MainActivity
LocationListener locationListener = new MyLocationListener();
LocationManager lm = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
lm.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0, locationListener);
Now, all I want is to receive the current position of the device ONCE to the MainActivity class (get altitude and longitude variables to use later in the application).
A. how do I stop receiving the location after a single time? The function lm.removeUpdates(listener) can only be called in the MainActivity class.
B. basically the same. How do I connect between the MyLocationListener class and the MainActivity one?
Sorry, I'm a newbie to Android and Java development.
And thanks!

You may use the following sample code:
public class LocationGetter {
private final Context context;
private Location location = null;
private final Cordinate gotLocationLock = new Cordinate();
private final LocationResult locationResult = new LocationResult() {
#Override
public void gotLocation(Location location) {
synchronized (gotLocationLock) {
LocationGetter.this.location = location;
gotLocationLock.notifyAll();
Looper.myLooper().quit();
}
}
};
public LocationGetter(Context context) {
if (context == null)
throw new IllegalArgumentException("context == null");
this.context = context;
}
public void getLocation(int maxWaitingTime, int updateTimeout) {
try {
final int updateTimeoutPar = updateTimeout;
synchronized (gotLocationLock) {
new Thread() {
public void run() {
Looper.prepare();
LocationResolver locationResolver = new LocationResolver();
locationResolver.prepare();
locationResolver.getLocation(context, locationResult, updateTimeoutPar);
Looper.loop();
}
}.start();
gotLocationLock.wait(maxWaitingTime);
}
} catch (InterruptedException e1) {
e1.printStackTrace();
}
gteAddress ();
}
public double getLatitude() {
return location.getLatitude();
}
public double getLongitude() {
return location.getLongitude();
}
In your activity use:
_locationGetter=new LocationGetter(context);
_locationGetter.getLocation(200000000, 10000000);
_locationGetter.getLongitude();
_locationGetter.getLatitude();

You can also use LocationManager.removeUpdates after obtining the coordinates (and possibly checking if the coordinates are sufficient for your needs):
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location loc) {
// called when the listener is notified with a location update from the GPS
Log.d("Latitude", Double.toString(loc.getLatitude()));
Log.d("Longitude", Double.toString(loc.getLongitude()));
lm.removeUpdates(this);
}

Share LocationListener with another Activity Android

I am trying to build an application that needs to use the GPS API's on android. I have two activities that need to use the gps.
The first one is just an activity that has a LocationListener and when it gets the location it gets weather for that location from a web API and saves it somewhere.
After doing that, it starts an intent that starts another activity. The other activity on other hand, needs to get speed from gps and update in realtime.
Now my question is, is it possible to use the same LocationListener from another activity on the second activity without having to reconnect to gps and do all that stuff again? Or is there any other alternatives than reconnecting again on the second activity as well?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

#KSubedi -- create a class for location listener & use objects of class in both your activity.
You can create class like below or you can edit below as per you requirement or create new one.
import java.util.Timer;
import java.util.TimerTask;
import android.content.Context;
import android.location.Location;
import android.location.LocationListener;

//if there are both values use the latest one
if(gps_loc!=null && net_loc!=null){
if(gps_loc.getTime()>net_loc.getTime())
locationResult.gotLocation(gps_loc);
else
locationResult.gotLocation(net_loc);
return;
}
if(gps_loc!=null){
locationResult.gotLocation(gps_loc);
return;
}
if(net_loc!=null){
locationResult.gotLocation(net_loc);
return;
}
locationResult.gotLocation(null);
}
}
public void closeListeners(){
timer1.cancel();
lm.removeUpdates(locationListenerGps);
lm.removeUpdates(locationListenerNetwork);
}
public static abstract class LocationResult{
public abstract void gotLocation(Location location);
}
public abstract void locationClick() ;
}

For this purpose use Services to get locations instead of using two activites.
