Answer 1

Hi Use the below timer code.

You can use the below options option 1 this will get the locations if mobile moved 100meters.

    captureFrequencey=3*60*1000;   
LocationMngr.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, captureFrequencey, 100, this);

have a look at this link http://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/LocationManager.html#requestLocationUpdates%28java.lang.String,%20long,%20float,%20android.location.LocationListener%29

Option 2

   TimerTask refresher;
        // Initialization code in onCreate or similar:
        timer = new Timer();    
        refresher = new TimerTask() {
            public void run() {
              handler.sendEmptyMessage(0);
            };
        };
        // first event immediately,  following after 1 seconds each
        timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(refresher, 0,1000); 
        //=======================================================


final Handler handler = new Handler() {


        public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
              switch (msg.what) {
              case REFRESH: 
                  //your code here 

                  break;
              default:
                  break;
              }
          }
        };

Timer will call the handler for your time duration (change 1000 into your required time ).

Hope this will help you.
