}

but i should make the gpss take his time to find locattion
how can i make my service slaaps for 20 secons for exampl??

Answer 1

The code:

Thread.sleep(20000);

Will make the current thread sleep for 20 seconds. From an Activity, this would probably cause a force close, because it effectively make your process seem like it’s locked up (I assume). In a Service, as you describe, you may be alright though.

BTW the 20 seconds isn’t incredibly precise, as noted in the docs.
