[android-developers] GPS beacon icon does not go away after LocationManager.removeUpdates

[MB]

Hi,

I would really appreciate any ideas regarding the following. Not
disabling the GPS would sap all the battery.

The GPS beacon icon does not go away even though I invoke
LocationManager.removeUpdates in onDestroy. This consistently
reproduces in the emulator.
I have verified in the debugger  that the following is happening
correctly:

- onCreate: call LocationManager.requestLocationUpdates
- onDestroy: call LocationManager.removeUpdates

I have tried different values for update interval and distance. I have
also included a small testcase showing the issue at the end of this
post.

Thanks,

public class TestActivity extends Activity {

    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.test);

        startGps();
    }
    public void onDestroy() {
        stopGps();
        super.onDestroy();
    }


    private static long UPDATE_INTERVAL = 1000; //1000ms or 1s
    private static float MIN_DISTANCE_FOR_UPDATE = 1; //must move by
1m for update.
    LocationManager _locationManager = null;
    void startGps() {
        try {
            _locationManager = (LocationManager)
getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
            //_locationManager.removeUpdates(_locationListener);
 
_locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,
                    UPDATE_INTERVAL,
                    MIN_DISTANCE_FOR_UPDATE,
                    _locationListener );

        }
        catch(Exception ign) {
        }
    }

    void stopGps() {
        if(_locationManager != null) {
            _locationManager.removeUpdates(_locationListener);
        }
        _locationManager = null;
    }

    private LocationListener _locationListener = new
LocationListener() {
        public void        onLocationChanged(Location location) {
            if(location!= null) {
                        Toast.makeText(TestActivity.this, "Location
changed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
            }

        public void     onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
        }
        public void     onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
        }
        public void     onStatusChanged(String provider, int status,
Bundle extras) {
            if(status == LocationProvider.AVAILABLE) {
                        Toast.makeText(TestActivity.this,
"LocationProvider.AVAILABLE", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
            else if(status ==
LocationProvider.TEMPORARILY_UNAVAILABLE) {
                        Toast.makeText(TestActivity.this,
"LocationProvider.TEMPORARILY_UNAVAILABLE",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
            else if(status == LocationProvider.OUT_OF_SERVICE) {
                        Toast.makeText(TestActivity.this,
"LocationProvider.OUT_OF_SERVICE", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        }
    };

};
