Question

I need to obtain coordinates for my application…I am doing this by using LocationManager

LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) this.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);

Now i need to perform the following Task :-

1. If suppose the option of “Use GPS Option is Unchecked” then i need to enable it
2. I need to obtain location coordinates for a particular range.. Like suppose if i get current coordinate as something then the mobile keep on getting the locations till 100 meters of that current location obtained
3. Is there any other good solution of obtaining coordinates apart from LocationManager..Like some open source SDK to obtain it..

Answer 1

1. Use requestLocationUpdates and removeUpdates while check/uncheck on the checkbox you provided.

2. Store the first location coordinate and in onLocationChanged keep on checking for the distance using distanceTo API.

3. Not sure why you need anything else.
