Re: [android-developers] Re: Location Listener event when not online

As per my experience onLocationChanged is not a reliable method. Sometimes it gets invoked and sometimes it does not. Make sure you have registered for location updates from all location providers.

It doesn't need internet. Verify that you've asked for the FINE GPS permission (rather than coarse which does need a connection) and i'd also make sure to have a wake lock (a better approach is to user an alarm to query the location periodically) otherwise i doubt onLocationChanged would be called after a short while.

I write apps for both Windows Phone in C# and Android in Java.  I have similar apps, on each marketplace, that both use the GPS to track movement as the phone moves about.  When the phone is out moving around, the internet connectivity, of course, goes in and out.

Both versions of my app transmit the GPS readings to my cloud server REST service where they are recorded on to a database.  If the app has no internet connection, it saves the GPS locations on the phone and then, when the internet connection comes back, it bursts what it has to the cloud server.  This process works great in Windows phone.

But with Android, when there is no internet connection, my onLocationChanged event in my LocationListener does not get triggered as the phone moves about.  It's working as though the GPS gets turned off when there is no internet signal.  That makes no sense to me.  Is it supposed to work this  way?  Why would the GPS need an internet connection to work?

Thanks,
