How can I check the current status of the GPS receiver?

Question

How can I check the current status of the GPS receiver? I already checked the LocationListener onStatusChanged method but somehow it seems that is not working,

Answer 1

Maybe it's the best possiblity to create a TimerTask that sets the received Location to a certain value (null?) regularly. If a new value is received by the GPSListener it will update the location with the current data.

I think that would be a working solution.
