Question

i got this gps method:

        globalconstant.db.execSQL(gps);

        Log.d("FESTIVALE :: ", "Frissítési idő: "
                + globalconstant.gps_update_value);

            }
        }
    }// gps vége

I want to make a simple loader dialog until it’s connected to the satellite.
How can i manage that? how can i check that it connected to the satellite first before this method is called?
Thanks for your answers!

Answer 1

You need to implement GpsStatus.Listener for this.

for example,

public class MyActivity extends Activity implements GpsStatus.Listener
{
         ...
         ...
         ...
         // add listener into locationManager
        locationManager.addGpsStatusListener(this);

       @Override
       public void onGpsStatusChanged(int) 
       {

          switch (event) 
         {
            case GpsStatus.GPS_EVENT_SATELLITE_STATUS:
            break;
            case GpsStatus.GPS_EVENT_FIRST_FIX:   // this means you  found GPS Co-ordinates                          
            break;
            case GpsStatus.GPS_EVENT_STARTED:
            break;
            case GpsStatus.GPS_EVENT_STOPPED:
            break;
          }
       }
}
