This is what I have in my service, I have a UI button that calls these
2 different functions:
private void StartLocationUpdates() {
mLocationManager = (LocationManager)
getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
mLocationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,
LOCATION_INTERVAL, 0, listen);
mLocationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER,
LOCATION_INTERVAL, 0, listen);
}
private void StopLocationUpdates() {
mLocationManager = (LocationManager)
getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
mLocationManager.removeUpdates(listen);
}
private LocationListener listen = new LocationListener() {
@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location loc) {
// blah blah do stuff
}
}
Anything wrong with this?
