I am developing an app in which I am tracking location using the tower location. So I am using the geo location api to track the location and accessing the phone state to get the network details.
This worked well, suddenly it started giving the security exception for LOCATION_HARDWARE permission.
I also tried to give the permission in manifest as well as requesting the permission runtime. But at runtime it asks for only location and the phone state permission not for the location_hardware permission. And then it crashes with security exception.
I am not getting for which purpose it is asking for the location_hardware permission.
I am stuck up here.
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
setUpUI();
public void setUpUI()
{
TrackingJob.schedulePeriodic(); // crashing here
}
}
}
}
Tracking Job :
public class TrackingJob extends Job {
static final String TAG = "tracking";
@NonNull
@Override
protected Result onRunJob(Params params) {
Intent pi = new Intent(getContext(), GetLocationService.class);
getContext().startService(pi);
return Result.SUCCESS;
}
public static void schedulePeriodic() {
new JobRequest.Builder(TrackingJob.TAG)
.setPeriodic(TimeUnit.MINUTES.toMillis(15), TimeUnit.MINUTES.toMillis(15))
.setUpdateCurrent(true)
.setPersisted(true)
.build()
.schedule();
}
}
GetLocationServer :
public class GetLocationService extends IntentService {
String networkSubType = "";
SessionData mSessionData;
private SharedPreferences preferences;
public GetLocationService() {
super("GetLocationService");
}
@Override
protected void onHandleIntent(@Nullable Intent intent) {
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(GetLocationService.this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED
&& ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(GetLocationService.this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
mSessionData = new SessionData(GetLocationService.this);
Calendar calendarSet = Calendar.getInstance();
Calendar calendarNow = Calendar.getInstance();
calendarSet.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 7); // hour
calendarSet.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 00); // minute
calendarSet.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0); // second
Calendar calendarEnd = Calendar.getInstance();
calendarEnd.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 20); // hour
calendarEnd.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 00); // minute
calendarEnd.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0); // second
SimpleDateFormat format1 = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
System.out.println(calendarNow.getTime());
// Output "Wed Sep 26 14:23:28 EST 2012"
String currentTime = format1.format(calendarNow.getTime());
System.out.println(currentTime);
if (calendarNow.compareTo(calendarSet) >= 0 && calendarNow.compareTo(calendarEnd) <= 0) {
TelephonyManager telephonyManager = (TelephonyManager) GetLocationService.this.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
GsmCellLocation cellLocation = (GsmCellLocation) telephonyManager.getCellLocation();
ConnectivityManager connectivityManager = (ConnectivityManager) GetLocationService.this.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);//?????????
NetworkInfo activeNetInfo = connectivityManager.getActiveNetworkInfo();
if (cellLocation != null) {
int cellid = cellLocation.getCid();
int celllac = cellLocation.getLac();
if (activeNetInfo != null) {
networkSubType = activeNetInfo.getSubtypeName();
}
String networkOperator = telephonyManager.getNetworkOperator();
int mcc = Integer.parseInt(networkOperator.substring(0, 3));
int mnc = Integer.parseInt(networkOperator.substring(3));
String networkOperatorName = telephonyManager.getNetworkOperatorName();
int type = telephonyManager.getNetworkType();
Log.d("CellLocation", cellLocation.toString());
Log.d("GSM CELL ID", String.valueOf(cellid));
Log.d("GSM Location Code", String.valueOf(celllac));
Log.d("MCC", String.valueOf(mcc));
Log.d("MNC", String.valueOf(mnc));
Log.d("NetworkOperatorName", networkOperatorName);
Log.d("radioType", String.valueOf(type));
Log.d("Network subtype name", networkSubType);
AddLocationAsyncTask addLocationAsyncTask = new AddLocationAsyncTask(GetLocationService.this);
addLocationAsyncTask.execute(mSessionData.getString("user_id", ""), String.valueOf(cellid), String.valueOf(celllac), String.valueOf(mcc), String.valueOf(mnc),
networkOperatorName, networkSubType, currentTime);
// LocationUtility.scheduleJob(getApplicationContext());
}
}
}
}
}
How can I solve this? Please help with this.
Thank you..
