Hi, this is my very first question:
I'm trying to configure proximity alerts that will be feed from a
Database and webservice provider; but I have a problem configuring a
simple proximity alert for testing. I manage to create the alert but
it never gets fired, I'm only trying in the emulator for now and don´t
know if I need some extra code to trigger the alerts.
I've read somewhere that the GPS provider to disabled so the network
provider can be used in order to trigger the alerts on the emulator.
My code looks like this:
Proximity intent declaration
private String proximityIntentAction = new
String("gpsdelivery.gpship.getLocation.GPS_PROXIMITY_ALERT");
Inside onStart() where the parameters of the alerts are set
IntentFilter intentFilter = new
IntentFilter(proximityIntentAction);
registerReceiver(new ProximityAlert(), intentFilter);
setProximityAlert(45.150344, 9.999815, -1);
Proximity alert function where the alerts get created
private void setProximityAlert(double lat, double lon, int
requestCode)
{
// 100 meter radius
float radius = 100f;
// Expiration is 10 Minutes
long expiration = 600000;
LocationManager locManager = (LocationManager)
getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
Intent intent = new Intent(proximityIntentAction);
PendingIntent pendingIntent =
PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getApplicationContext(), requestCode,
intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);
locManager.addProximityAlert(lat, lon, radius, expiration,
pendingIntent);
}
And finally my proximity alert class with the Broadcast receiver
public class ProximityAlert extends BroadcastReceiver
{
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
Log.v("SomeTag","Proximity alert received");
}
}
Please let me know what I'm missing or what am I doing wrong. Thanks
in advance, any source code would be appreciated.
