//code here
    }

    }

when i try to remove listener using follwing code compile time error.

locationManager.removeGpsStatusListener(GPSLocationListener )

Answer 2

You need to pass the same object implementing LocationListener that you requested location updates for to the locationManager.removeUpdates() method.

So in unless this and gpsl are one and the same, you should call:

locationManager.removeUpdates(gpsl);

Answer 3

You have to pass the instance to your GPSLocationListener go the removeGpsStatusListener method and not the class name.

Answer 4

If you are using maps, you have to do:

locationManager.removeUpdates(locationListener);

mMap.setMylocationEnabled(false);

Answer 5

You could pass the parameter like this GPSLocationListener.this

locationManager.removeGpsStatusListener(GPSLocationListener.this);

the compile will not be wrong
