Well I'm starting a service from my main thread. (some activity) In the service I'm starting a new thread and do some work. (communication with external APIs (flickr)) While that work I need the position of the device. To get the position I had written this class:
http://paste.pocoo.org/show/80ypWR00yHnHRz9pN7mc/ In M5 I only called "getCurrentLocation()" and everything was fine. Now as the methode is gone I need to set this update request to the LocationManager in order to get a not outdatet position. To achieve that I have to loop inside my "geo location" class and wait for the Listener to be invoked in order to be able to return some location from the "geo location" class. Now I don't really know how to do that the right way. (not blocking the thread) I would appreciate every hint that you could give me. I dont really know how to handle that situation. Best Regards!
