I want to map the loaction from the location poller after the location is found using a broadcast receiver. I can't find any examples demonstrating this. What needs to happen after the onReceive method is executed and the location is found?

Thanks in advance,

Presumably, you would call startActivity() on something that can map those coordinates. Whether that is your own activity or a built-in one (e.g., via a geo: Uri) is up to you. If it is yours, you would need to arrange to send the latitude and longitude to your activity, such as via Intent extras.

  • Thank you for responding. I created the pending intent to a broadcast receiver in the onCreate method of a MapActivity. In the onReceive method of the broadcast receiver I get the GPS location. My question is that once I get the GPS locations what do I do to update the map overlay for the GPS location each time a new location is found? – Justin Fitzgerald Apr 12 '12 at 19:50
  • @JustinFitzgerald: Why are you bothering with `LocationPoller`, then? The complete and entire purpose behind `LocationPoller` is to get locations when you do not have a UI, such as on a scheduled basis. Just use `LocationManager` and `requestLocationUpdates()`. – CommonsWare Apr 12 '12 at 19:55
