numberformat exception using alarmamanager - crashes before on start

Question

---------UPDATE -----------------------------------------

When the app starts I receive numberformat exception at line :

final long thetime=Long.par         


        

Answer 1

because I made lonfitude and latitude Strings (I had them as double before). How can I overcome that?

To get String from double use String.valueOf();

String latitude = String.valueOf(location.getLatitude());

Repeat

Also,how can I select to send the data in time intervals that the user will define?

To repeat at specific interval use AlarmManager.
