Can someone correct me if I'm wrong, I checked the status in onStatusChanged. It shows TEMPORARILY_UNAVAILABLE for my GPS. Makes sense since I'm indoor. But if I'm indoor, I want it to change the provider to network.
So here's how I'm doing it. 1) When I try to location myself, I will use GPS as my provider. 2) if GPS signal is available, onLocationChanged will be called, and that's done! 3) if onLocationChanged is not called, but onStatusChanged is called, I check the status or my provider 4) if status of my GPS provider showed in onStatusChanged is TEMPORARILY_UNAVAILABLE, then I'll change my provider to network 5) to change my provider from GPS to NETWORK, I add the following line inside onStatusChanged location.removeUpdates(locationListener) location.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER,0 , 100.0f,locationListener); This seems to be working for me now.. finally. But I'm wondering if this is the best way to do it.
