I don't think requestLocationUpdates() will work reliably from an IntentService. The, um, intent of an IntentService is for it to shut down (via stopSelf()) after it has exhausted its queue of work. Also, I don't see where an IntentService will be called with onStop(). You might want to slap an @Override on there to confirm. If it does not exist, as I suspect, then you will never release your location listener, and that is seriously bad with an IntentService. My guess is that you're trying to create a scheduled task, triggered by an alarm, that will look up the current location and do something with it. While the IntentService (Wakeful or otherwise) is normally a fine answer, I suspect that it will give you loads of problems in this case, since it automatically stops when the Intent is delivered and consumed. You will probably need to fall back to a regular service, calling stopSelf() after you have gotten your location fix, and using a WakeLock to keep yourself awake in the interim. Even then, things could get a bit icky (e.g., what if the user is underground and you never get a fix?). -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android 1.6 Programming Books: http://commonsware.com/books -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
