No. MapView is to view a map. It has no concept of GPS in and of itself.
Does the GPS have to be on all the time in order to work?
No. That's precisely what the parameters to

Dear Tommy,
The function requestLocationUpdates is offering the utility to set the
interval time for gps to collect a location

Sorry - I misread this, I think. You can certainly get GPS updates for a
MapView (specifically a MapActivity). But it's not a function of the MapView
itself, is what I mean.

I wonder if this is a threading issue. Your code uses Timer to schedule the
next time you request a location update. I believe it's a Java SDK class,
and can invoke your runnable on its own thread.
Have you tried using a Handler? It's an Android class, and will invoke your
runnable on the UI

Friend Tommy,
I understand that your goal is to reduce energy consuption by reduce GPS
connection needed energy .
I believe and i did a little search about this that if you have a connection
with the satellite and just don't transfer any data
the energy consumption is smaller than turn off and
the Android

It may also be good practice to give the user the option to turn GPS
off for your application. That is, when the option is off, your
application removes location updates.
The idea is that the user can still use your application, but can
control the battery usage. Of course, in this case, the user
