Get last location from FusedLocation in service

Question

I' trying to getLastLocation() in my Service, witch is starting every minute. As I can see, fusedLocation requires Activity or Executor in .addOnSuccessListener(). How I can get it in Service?

LocationCheckService.class

public class LocationCheckService extends Service{

    private FusedLocationProviderClient mFusedLocationClient;

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        mFusedLocationClient = LocationServices.getFusedLocationProviderClient(this);
        mFusedLocationClient.getLastLocation()
                .addOnSuccessListener(this, new OnSuccessListener<Location>() {
                    @Override
                    public void onSuccess(Location location) {
                        // Got last known location. In some rare situations this can be null.
                        if (location != null) {

                        }
                    }
                });
    }

    @SuppressLint("MissingPermission")
    @Override
    public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {

        return START_STICKY;
    }

You don't need GoogleApiClient -

first in gradle add -

implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:15.0.0'

In Android Manifest -

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />

than create a service to get location update as -

public class LocationUpdateService extends Service {

    private FusedLocationProviderClient client;
    private LocationRequest locationRequest;


    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        client = LocationServices.getFusedLocationProviderClient(this);
        locationRequest = LocationRequest.create();
        locationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
        locationRequest.setInterval(0);
        locationRequest.setFastestInterval(0);
    }

    @Override
    public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
        try {
            client.requestLocationUpdates(locationRequest, locationCallback, null);
        } catch (SecurityException ignore) {
            Log.e("AppLocationService", "SecurityException - " + ignore.toString(), ignore);
        }
        return START_STICKY;
    }

    private final LocationCallback locationCallback = new LocationCallback() {

        @Override
        public void onLocationResult(LocationResult locationResult) {
            List<Location> locationList = locationResult.getLocations();
            if (locationList.size() != 0) {
                Location location = locationList.get(0);
                Log.e("AppLocationService", "Latitude  - " +location.getLatitude()+", longitude  - " +location.getLongitude() );
            }
        }
    };


    @Override
    public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
        // TODO: Return the communication channel to the service.
        return null;
    }


}

To get update in activity you can use LocalBroadCast OR same code you can use in Activity

NOTE : don't forget to take permission above 23

Thanks, but can I get location without gps? In your example, when I turning off gps, I dont receive location updates — Hitrene, May 04 '18 at 12:02
yes you can receive Network location ... i have tested this code it is working — Sanjay Kumar, May 04 '18 at 13:01

I provide one separate class for fetching location data using faused API. you can call this class into your service it gets latest location lat and long value.

public class GPSController  implements
    LocationListener,
    GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks,
    GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener{

OnLocationUpdateListener onLocationUpdateListener;

LocationRequest mLocationRequest;
Location mCurrentLocation;
private static long INTERVAL = 1000 * 10;
private static long FASTEST_INTERVAL = 1000 * 5;
FragmentActivity mActivity;
private boolean isLiveUpdate = false;


PendingResult<LocationSettingsResult> result;

            CustomLogHandler.printInfolog("checking googleplayservice : ", "false");
            ((BaseActivity)mActivity).showAlertDialog(mActivity, mActivity.getString(R.string.app_name), mActivity.getString(R.string.play_service_not_found));

}

call into this service class like this ..

    gpsController = new GPSController(getActivity());
    gpsController.setLocatonUpdateListener(this);
    if (gpsController != null)
        gpsController.onResumeUpdate();

    public void setLocatonUpdateListener(OnLocationUpdateListener onLocationUpdateListener) {
    this.onLocationUpdateListener = onLocationUpdateListener;
}

and also implement this into class ..

implements GPSController.OnLocationUpdateListener

@Override
public void onLocationUpdate(Location mCurrentLocation) {
    CURRENT_LET = String.valueOf(mCurrentLocation.getLatitude());// both string variable to store value
    CURRENT_LANG = String.valueOf(mCurrentLocation.getLongitude());

}

This implementation in Java works in a service class, after the fusedLocationClient has been initialized:

fusedLocationClient.getLastLocation().addOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener<Location>() {
            @Override
            public void onComplete(@NonNull Task<Location> task) {
                Location last_known_loction = task.getResult();
                latitude = last_known_loction.getLatitude();
                longitude = last_known_loction.getLongitude();
            }
        });

Get last location from FusedLocation in service
