Continuous location updates in background

Question

i am developing a application which will send location updates continuously from a background service. i tried following code.

public class LocationService e         


        

Answer 1

Try this:

@Override
 public void onCreate() {
 //creating log file in mobile
    appendLog(DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance().format(new Date()) + ": Service created:", com.example.locationservice.Constants.LOG_FILE);

  mLocationClient = new LocationClient(getApplicationContext(), this,this);
 }

replace your onStart with:

@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
mLocationClient.connect();
}

and:

@Override
public void onConnected(Bundle arg0) {
mLocationRequest = LocationRequest.create();
mLocationRequest.setInterval(5*1000);
mLocationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
mLocationClient.requestLocationUpdates(mLocationRequest, this);
}

Invoke your service:

startService(yourServiceIntent);
