onLocationChanged() is never trigered by requestLocationUpdate() - Android

Question

I have used manager.requestLocationUpdates(\"gps\", 1000, 0, new LocationDetector()); to get update after every second. But this method is never triggering

This is a duplicate of this question, also asked by you. In any case, you could try using GoogleAPIClient - like this:

    LocationRequest locationRequest = LocationRequest.create();
    locationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
    locationRequest.setInterval(60000); // update every (1) minutes               
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(googleApiClient,locationRequest, yourLocationDetector );

Where the googleApiClient is instantiated and connected in some helper method like this:

/**
     * Helper method to connect the Google API Client
     */
    private void connectGoogleAPIClient() {
      googleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(context)
                                .addApi(LocationServices.API)
                                .addConnectionCallbacks(this)
                                .addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
                                .build();
      googleApiClient.connect();
    }
