Android :: GPS Queueing In LocationListener

Mar 22, 2010

The application under development was to distinguish between the current location of the android phone based upon GPS signal when it was available. When it is not available, alternate methods are being used to distinguish the user's location. The application uses a private locationlistener class that implements the LocationListener class. The code within the onLocationChanged( ) method to be overridden will draw the location on the google map as a dot as they are received.

I have noticed however that something is amiss. If you start outside the building, it will estimate your position with several dots around your current location. When you walk through a building where you don't get GPS, the dots are not drawn as expected, but as soon as you step outside again on the other side of the building it rapidly draws dots far away from (but leading up to) your location, until it gets to your actual current location. I don't understand how these other values are retrieved and why they seem to poke their ugly heads in, once the user steps back outside............

Android :: GPS Queueing in LocationListener


Android :: LocationListener Not Refreshing

May 25, 2010

I'm trying to develop a small app, that can retrieve GPS coordinates, and store them, so I can retrace the path I took. The thing is, the GPS on Android emulator is kind of screwing around with my nerves... First of all, the Mock Position system doesn't work, so I'm manually fixing the coordinates with telnet "geo fix" command. Second of all, the location listener seems to not be refreshing. I'm lauching the app, fixing a first set of coordinates, and observing the response I expect. But when I push a second set of coordinates, the app simply doesn't react.

I tried a lot -big lot- of ideas on this, and I'm kind of running short...

By the way, I'm developping on Eclipse with ADT, and the SDK for Android 1.5 (French HTC Heros are still with Android 1.5) so that I can use my own app.

Here's my code (just the coordinate retrieval part) :

CODE:.................

Android :: Why Does LocationListener Become Null?

Jan 28, 2010

I am having issues regarding a LocationListener in my Service called myService.

Here is my code:

///onStart method ..
onStart() {
locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE)
.
.
provider = locationManager.getBestProvider(criteria, true);
locationListener = (LocationListener) new MyLocationListener();
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(provider, 0, 0, locationListener);
}

In my Activity there is a button which should stop the service. On the click of the button I am doing:

stopService(new Intent(getApplicationContext(), myService.class).................

Android :: Service With LocationListener Callbacks

Sep 18, 2010

I have an android application. Based on the current geo location of user, I want to fetch some remote data in background and store it. My implementation is: At specific interval a alarm fires up my service. Service uses an anonymous class to query current location and registers a locationListener callback. On call of onLocationChanged() I initiate the remote data fetch from server.

However once my service is done registering the location listener using anonymos class, it returns as expected; as it doesn't wait for callback to happen before finishing. Since callback takes some time and makes a call when service has already returned, it throws an error saying: java.lang.RuntimeException: Handler{43e82510} sending message to a Handler on a dead thread

Which is quite understandable. One quick workaround for me now is that I can use getLastKnownLocation from locationManager as that doesn't respond back by callback; but what if I do want the latest location right now, in a service and not activity? How can I wait for callback to happen and stop my service from returning.
Also, at what point does lastKnownlocation gets updated? Everytime GPS registers a new location; does it update it? What I want to know is that if it's not latest can it still be closed to latest? As I didn't see an option in android emulator to configure the time period between subsequent updates.

Android :: Turn Off GPS Icon When LocationListener Is Sleeping

Jul 26, 2010

I am struggling a bit with the LocationListener in Android.I want to make an app that will get the current GPS location, and then afterwards sleep for a long time. A day or more. In this period of time i want the GPS notification icon to not show.What i have now, is in the onLocationChanged a Thread.sleep(x) but this will keep the icon on in the sleep period. How can i do this, and is there a better approach than to use Thread.sleep?

Android :: LocationListener Being Called Multiple Times

Apr 16, 2010

I am working on an Location Based Application. In this application i am using LocationListener class to update the location when the Location is changed.In each Activity i have different LocationListener to update location and do some specific work on updated location. But my problem is that when i am changing my location through DDMS , the LocationListener is being called of that current Activity as well as all the activities of the whole application where LocationListener has been defined. I don't know whether there should be one LocationListener for the whole application or for each Activity we should have different LocationListener.

Android :: Unsubscribe LocationListener From Recieving Updates From LocationManager?

Jan 19, 2010

How do I unsubscribe a LocationListener from recieving updates from the LocationManager?

mLocationManager = (LocationManager)this.getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
mListener = new LocationListener() {
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
Log.i("LocationListener", "Logging Change");
}
}
mLocationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,
5000, 1, mListener);

After I have exited the the view that created the LocationListener I am still getting log messages in the LogCat window. I understand that this is because I am orphaning the listener but I cannot see any destory method on the LocationListener nor can I see any "remove listener" style methods on the LocationManager object.

I'm creating it by calling showDialog with the display's id. The onCreateDialog handler logs fine and I can step through it without an issue, but I've attached it since it seems like I'm missing something:

Is there something missing from this? Some questions have talked about having this problem when creating a dialog from onCreate, which happen because the activity isn't created yet, but this is coming from a call from a menu object, and the appContext variable seems like it is correctly populated in the debugger.

Android :: Android WebView Not Loading A JavaScript File But Android Browser Loads It Fine

Jun 3, 2010

I'm writing an application which connects to a back office site. The backoffice site contains a whole slew of JavaScript functions, at least 100 times the average site. Unfortunately it does not load them, and causes much of the functionality to not work properly. So I am running a test. I put a page out on my server which loads the FireBugLite javascript text. Its a lot of javascript and perfect to test and see if the Android WebView will load it. The WebView loads nothing, but the browser loads the Firebug Icon. What on earth would make the difference, why can it run in the browser and not in my WebView? Any suggestions.
More background information, in order to get the stinking backoffice application available on a Droid (or any other platform except windows) I needed to trick the bakcoffice application to believe what's accessing the website is Internet Explorer. I do this by modifying the WebView User Agent.Also for this application I've slimmed my landing page, so I could give you the source to offer me aid. package ksc.myKMB;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.AlertDialog;
import android.app.Dialog;
import android.app.ProgressDialog;
import android.content.DialogInterface;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuInflater;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.Window;
import android.webkit.WebChromeClient;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebSettings;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class myKMB extends Activity {
I already have JavaScript on the web browser on, the problem is the web view is acting to different from the web browser.

Android :: Android - Add Menu Item To Android's Built-in Apps

Aug 17, 2009

I'd like to add a menu option to the Android camera app. Is this possible to do using the current SDK? I know I need to add an intent-filter tag in my activity. But I don't know what I should put in the mime type. I want to be able to process the live camera previews if the user selects the menu option. So what do I put into the type tag of the intent-filter? Also I suppose I won't be using ALTERNATIVE or SELECTED-ALTERNATIVE for the category as I want to deal with the whole intent?

Android :: Android IRC Office Hours - Android Bluetooth RSSI

I have a question about bluetooth RSSI functionality on the Android (either 2.0 or 2.1):

It's easy enough to get the RSSI value when a bluetooth connection is created, but how can you repeatedly get the RSSI value of a connection that is already active? It's really important to be able to do this, because this lets you determine if bluetooth devices are close to each other or far away, but I can't find any appropriate function calls in the Android API.

Android :: Moto Android Stuck On Android Splash Screen

Feb 5, 2010

I am having a bit of a problem with my Android. So what happened was I downloaded "DroidRootPro" from the market. I rooted my phone with this, installed the 800MHZ ROM image, rebooted and the phone came up great. I was actually surprised on how fast it became. Once the phone came back up, I tried installing one of the custom themes that came with that app (I know I should have left it alone). The phone than rebooted and I was never able to bring it back up. It gets stuck in this endless loop where it tries to boot but doesn�t get past the "Droid" splash screen, it just keeps rebooting every time.

Things I have tried:

-Wipe data/factory reset (in recovery mode), no go.
-Wipe cach partition, no go
-Restore from a "nandroid" backup, no go. I tried pretty much every combination of restores and am unable to bring the phone up.

Is there anyway I can download the factory image that comes with the phone, put it on an SD card and restore to that? I have looked all over but cant find any information on this.

Android :: How To Reference R.java Of Other Apps In Android - Like Com.android.music

Sep 29, 2010

I am trying to develop an app to supplement the built-in music player. I've used git to download the com.android.music package and looked around at its code. I can launch the music player by copying some of its code and launching activities with intents.

Now what I need to do is get a handle to its current view. In the MusicUtils.java file, I see a line that says

View nowPlayingView = a.findViewById(R.id.nowplaying);

I'd like to do the same thing. Only I don't have access to the R.java file, so I can't write e.g. R.id.nowplaying. How do I do this? How do I reference the music players R.java? I do know the R.java stuff is declared public so that shouldn't be a problem. Right?

Is it even possible? I saw this related question and am now wondering: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2437271/how-to-load-com-android-music-code-into-eclipse-and-compile

I'm working against the Android 2.2 SDK, but it'd be helpful to know if the answer is different for older versions such as 1.5.
