Hi, Currently working on a simple app to allow users to find various things around them. When the activity that shows the Google map is active I can see the GPS icon on the status bar, which is normal. But I need to be able to stop the GPS hardware when my user navigates away from the activity, and switch the GPS back on when the activity is shown.
Is there a simple way to stop GPS when a user navigate away from an activity? I have tried the LocationManager's removeUpdates() but this doesn't actually stop the GPS (the icon is still flashing on the status bar and draining the battery). What I'm looking for is a simple way to programatically stop the GPS hardware.
