Question

I\'m trying to get latitude and longitude from Android device and send it to MySQL database. when any one register his current latitude and longitude saved in the database.b

Answer 1

You have to use threads for this purpose , with time out of 10 seconds so every 10 seconds your code in thread will run

 new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            // This method will be executed once the timer is over
            // insert your data to db here


            // close this activity
            finish();
        }
    }, TIME_OUT);

And set time out as

private static int TIME_OUT = 10000;

Here you go :)

Answer 2

Instead saving your lat lon to LocalDB you can use Shared Preferences.

For more help about shared Preferences use given link https://www.tutorialspoint.com/android/android_shared_preferences.htm

Make different class and make a method to save your lat lon when ever you get after 10 second.

THanks!

Create a background service class like this

public class LocationBackGroundService extends Service implements LocationListener,
        GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks,
        GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener {

    private static final String TAG = "LocationBackGroundService";
    private static final long INTERVAL = 100;
    private static final long FASTEST_INTERVAL = 100;

    LocationRequest mLocationRequest;
    GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;
    Location mCurrentLocation;
    Context mCOntext;

    public void LocationBackGroundService(Context mContext) {
        this.mCOntext = mContext;
    }

    protected void createLocationRequest() {
        mLocationRequest = new LocationRequest();
        mLocationRequest.setInterval(INTERVAL);
        mLocationRequest.setFastestInterval(FASTEST_INTERVAL);
        mLocationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
    }

    @Override
    public void onStart(Intent intent, int startId) {
        super.onStart(intent, startId);
        mGoogleApiClient.connect();
    }

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();

        if (!isGooglePlayServicesAvailable()) {
            // finish();
        }
        createLocationRequest();
        mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
                .addApi(LocationServices.API)
                .addConnectionCallbacks(this)
                .addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
                .build();

        if (mGoogleApiClient.isConnected()) {
            startLocationUpdates();
        }
    }

    private boolean isGooglePlayServicesAvailable() {
        int status = GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(this);
        if (ConnectionResult.SUCCESS == status) {
            return true;
        } else {
            return false;
        }
    }

    @Nullable
    @Override
    public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    public void onConnected(Bundle bundle) {
        startLocationUpdates();
    }


    protected void startLocationUpdates() {
        PendingResult<Status> pendingResult = LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(
                mGoogleApiClient, mLocationRequest, this);

        Log.d(TAG, "Location update started ..............: ");
    }

    @Override
    public void onConnectionSuspended(int i) {

        Toast.makeText(this, "OnConnection Suspended", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }

    @Override
    public void onConnectionFailed(ConnectionResult connectionResult) {
        Toast.makeText(this, "OnConnection Failed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }

    @Override
    public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {

        if (null != mCurrentLocation) {
            mCurrentLocation = location;
            String lat = String.valueOf(mCurrentLocation.getLatitude());
            String lng = String.valueOf(mCurrentLocation.getLongitude());

        }
    }
}

And call when activity starts like this

startService(new Intent(this, yourBackgroundServiceName.class));

and in menifest

<service android:name=".yourBackgroundServiceName"></service>

and don;t forget to add run time permissions before stating a service
