Hi, I am developing a GPS based application, and for my application I need to get the current location, and also need to update the UI as and when the location changes. So for that I am using Location Manager and location listener package as follows,
public class HelloMapViewSec extends MapActivity { public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); LocationManager lm = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE); myLocationListener = new MyLocationListener(); lm.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0, myLocationListener); Location myLocation = lm.getLastKnownLocation("network"); //using "gps" returned NULL if(myLocation != null) { lat = myLocation.getLatitude() * 1E6; lng = myLocation.getLongitude() * 1E6; GeoPoint point = new GeoPoint(lat.intValue(),lng.intValue()); //And had an overlay to point in MapView } } //MyLocationListener Class defined for instantiating a location listener private class MyLocationListener implements LocationListener { public void onLocationChanged(Location loc) { if (loc != null) { Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Location changed : Lat: " + loc.getLatitude() + " Lng: " + loc.getLongitude(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } } public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub System.out.println("GPS : Provider Disabled" + provider); } public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub System.out.println("GPS : Provider Enabled" + provider); } public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub System.out.println("GPS : Status Changed to " + provider + "[" + status + "]"); } } } I am able to get the current user details using the above code, but I am not able to see the LocationListener's onLocationChanged() functionality getting called within a distance coverage of 10/100m. I have tried by changing the minDistance parameter of lm.requestLocationUpdates() from 10 to 100, but still I dont see any quick response. I need a call to LocationListener's onLocationChanged() functionality within 10/100m so that I can do speed/distance calculations. On further analysis I saw that the onLocationChanged() will be called on a 500m change only. How can I make the a call to LocationListener's onLocationChanged() functionality within 10/100m travel? If not possible then is there any alternate method/means for calculating the speed/distance travelled by user? Thanks and regards, Ruppin. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
