I have a service which interacts with the Android Location service to get location updates. Once the service starts, it tries for 2 minutes to get the best location possible.
I want to get location data for 30 mins, every 5 minutes. I can do this in two ways: 1. start the service, let it run for 30 minutes, and get location updates every 5 minutes 2. use the alarm manager and get the service to wake up every 5th minute for 30 minutes How do these methods compare in terms of 1. Battery life 2. Delays: If I use approach 2, after I start the service, there will be a delay before the service is loaded into memory and started, the service connects to the Android location service and then tries to fix on the location vs. approach 1, where the fix attempts can start off immediately.
