I have an app that displays the latitude, longitude, speed, and distance, in a textview above of the map. The first location is displayed but when I move to another location the textview does not update the information. I also don't know if I am calculating the distance correctly. I am not sure if onLocationChanged is called. My code is below.
---EDIT---
As of now I am no longer working on this project anymore. I believe I was able to fix the issues I had, but I not longer have the code for this project anymore. As this post has been down voted 2 times, I don't believe that it has been very helpful to the community and so I would like to close and delete this post if possible, but there needs to be more votes to close and then delete it. Unless there is any other reason for why this post should stay open?
