Question

i have this gps method:

if (globalconstant.gps) {
                            globalconstant.mlocManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
                            globalconstant.mlocManager
                                    .addGpsStatusListener(main.this);
                            Log.w("TravellerLog :: ", "22");
                            addGPSListener();
                            ProgressDialog MyDialog = ProgressDialog.show(
                                    main.this, "Info",
                                    " GPS kapcsolódásra vár... ", true);}

…

/* GPS kapcsolódás figyelő */
    public void onGpsStatusChanged(int event) {

        // Log.w("TravellerLog :: ", "l1");
        switch (event) {
        case GpsStatus.GPS_EVENT_SATELLITE_STATUS:
            break;
        case GpsStatus.GPS_EVENT_FIRST_FIX:

            show_sens = show_sens + "- GPS\n";
            sensors.setText(show_sens);
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "GPS kapcsolódva!",
                    Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                                                // Co-ordinates
            myChronometer.stop();
            myChronometer.setBase(SystemClock.elapsedRealtime());
            meres = false;
            start_button.setText("START");
            break;
        case GpsStatus.GPS_EVENT_STARTED:
            break;
        case GpsStatus.GPS_EVENT_STOPPED:
            break;
        }
    }

the addGPSListener()

                break;
            }

        }

    }// gps vége

so the question is how can i manage that the gps listener (store in the database the coordinnates…) olny starts when the gps fixed?
thanks for your answers!

Answer 1

You have coded properly, only you need to check certain condition, if the condition gets fulfill then just add lat-lon details to sql, do as follows,

case GpsStatus.GPS_EVENT_FIRST_FIX:
{

    ...
    ...
    ...

    new DBThread().start();
}
break;

private class DBThread extends Thread
{ 
     public void run()
     {
        // Fetch Lat-lon details here and store in sqlite

        ...
        // Remove gps code to save in battery from drain soon
     }
}
