Dear Tommy, The function requestLocationUpdates is offering the utility to set the interval time for gps to collect a location requestLocationUpdates(String provider, long minTime, float minDistance, LocationListener listener, Looper looper) You can see more details at: http://developer.android.

[android-developers] MapView + LocationManager Question

Hi everyone, I am currently working with the MapView. When the MapView is loaded I request a GPS fix, when I get the GPS fix I plot it on the MapView. After that I set a timer for 1 minute. When the timer Ticks I tell it to get my GPS location again and plot it but for some reason locationManager.

[android-developers] Re: Do we need to call System.gc() ?

I'll add that if you need to call System.gc to prevent an error then there's a bug in the JVM. (Not saying that there's no bug and hence no need to call it, just saying that, per the Java spec, the system should automatically do a GC before raising any "hard" out-of-heap error. The observations b
