Written a Service
class to fetch the location, it is fetching the location on some devices like Samsung s7 edge while failed to fetch location on devices like Samsung j5. I just want to know whether it is code issue or mobile specific issue. The code below is the Service
class to fetch Location:
public class LocationService extends Service {
private static final String TAG = "myService";
private LocationManager mLocationManager = null;
private static final int LOCATION_INTERVAL = 1000;
private static final float LOCATION_DISTANCE = 50f;
boolean inside;
TelephonyManager tMgr;
String mPhoneNumber;
private class MyLocationListener implements
android.location.LocationListener {
Location mLastLocation;
public MyLocationListener(String provider) {
Log.d(TAG, "LocationListener " + provider);
mLastLocation = new Location(provider);
}
@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
Log.d("myLocation", "onLocationChanged: " + location);
Location locationA = new Location("point A");
locationA.setLatitude(33.65340376);
locationA.setLongitude(73.03382854);
float distance = locationA.distanceTo(location);
Log.e(TAG, "Total distance: " + distance);
mLastLocation.set(location);
}
@Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
Log.e(TAG, "onProviderDisabled: " + provider);
}
@Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
Log.e(TAG, "onProviderEnabled: " + provider);
}
@Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
Log.e(TAG, "onStatusChanged: " + provider);
}
}
MyLocationListener[] mLocationListeners = new MyLocationListener[]{
new MyLocationListener(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER),
new MyLocationListener(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER)
};
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0) {
return null;
}
@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
Log.e(TAG, "onStartCommand");
super.onStartCommand(intent, flags, startId);
return START_STICKY;
}
@Override
public void onCreate() {
DatabaseHandler db = new DatabaseHandler(getApplicationContext());
int lastStatus = db.getLastTimeStatus();
if (lastStatus == 0) {
inside = true;
} else if (lastStatus == 1) {
inside = false;
}
tMgr = (TelephonyManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.READ_SMS) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
return;
}
mPhoneNumber = tMgr.getLine1Number();
Log.e(TAG, "onCreate");
initializeLocationManager();
try {
mLocationManager.requestLocationUpdates(
LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, LOCATION_INTERVAL, LOCATION_DISTANCE,
mLocationListeners[0]);
} catch (java.lang.SecurityException ex) {
Log.i(TAG, "fail to request location update, ignore", ex);
} catch (IllegalArgumentException ex) {
Log.d(TAG, "gps provider does not exist " + ex.getMessage());
}
}
@Override
public void onDestroy()
{
Log.e(TAG, "onDestroy");
super.onDestroy();
if (mLocationManager != null) {
for (int i = 0; i < mLocationListeners.length; i++) {
try {
mLocationManager.removeUpdates(mLocationListeners[i]);
} catch (Exception ex) {
Log.i(TAG, "fail to remove location listners, ignore", ex);
}
}
}
}
private void initializeLocationManager() {
Log.e(TAG, "initializeLocationManager");
if (mLocationManager == null) {
mLocationManager = (LocationManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
}
}
}
Every other method like onProviderEnabled()
etc works fine but onlocationChanged()
is not picking user's current location most of the time, but sometime it suddenly fires 4, 5 location at the same time.
