fusedlocationproviderapi

Problem: I have tried using the new FusedLocationProviderClient and the deprecated FusedLocationApi to receive location updates on my app using a Sony Xperia Z2 and Huawei Honor 8 . Everything works fine initialy. However it seems that after x amount of location requests the accuracy number NEVER drops below 10.0 using location.getAccuracy(); // 10.0 What I have tried: Uninstalling and reinstalling the app does no difference. Restarting the phone, same result. Yes I have LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY ... no different result. What might have worked: Did a factory reset. Whooppaa

I would like to know if it is possible to clear the "location" that is stored by play service's fused location API. When testing my app on a real device, I would like to recreate few scenarios and that's the reason I would like to know if this is possible. I tried to clear "Google Play Services" cache and data. But, it does not seem to help me. Location still seems to be cached somewhere. Google Play Services is central service and serves every app installed on your device. After clearing cache and data, if any app connects with Google Play services on that device(which almost every Google app

I'm having trouble sending a string extra with my PendingIntent that I pass to LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(GoogleApiClient client, LocationRequest request, PendingIntent callbackIntent) . It appears that the username extra i'm putting onto the Intent is mangling the location that requestLocationUpdates is trying to hand off to my IntentService as intent.getParcelableExtra(FusedLocationProviderApi.KEY_LOCATION_CHANGED) returns null . EDIT I've tried making a User class that implements Parcelable and putting it as an extra: mRequestLocationUpdatesIntent.putExtra(

I am building an application in which I have to constantly save user's location and then send it to the server. For that, I am using FusedLocationApis in a service. For the first time, I am asking user to turn on locations. It is working perfectly. Now, what if the user unintentionally turns off the location. How should I inform him? Do developers have to take care of this or they just leave it to the user? I thought of giving him an android notification for this. For that, I need to constantly check our locations enabled in the service. I have a working code for that (function

Hi I have implemented Fused Location provider Api for getting location updates in a service. I was able to get the onlocationchanged event fired according to the interval set. However when i set the setsmallestDisplacement to 10 metres, the event is getting fired even if the device is still. Does any one have problem similar to this. please provide suggestions. Below is the code mlocationrequest = LocationRequest.create(); mlocationrequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY); mlocationrequest.setInterval(60000); // Update location every 1 minute mlocationrequest

I am trying to get location by using FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation and I've got the location permissions in the manifest file: <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" /> However, I am getting null when I request the location from the system. I was just testing turning off and on location services so it may be related to that (of course, it's ON when I'm trying this). But even after returning null, I'm waiting for onLocationChanged to be called and it's never called. I've also seen a
