Re: [android-developers] Re: How to make a Service That will periodically send the Users Location on a server

I have been trying that to build it, but I am still not successful in making that.

I would be really great if you could provide the code if you have made it!!

:)

this subject has been discussed quite a lot, i suggest you search the net and this forum for answers. 

the short list of things you need to know:

- use location change listeners for changes when the device is awake and responding

- use alarms to wake the device for periodical updates

- Since a service does not guarantee it will remain alive to send the location changes, make sure you take a power/cpu wake lock every time a change needs to be sent (especially when being awoken by an alarm)

- do not try to keep a service as foreground and keep the wake lock forever, this will just drain the battery. let the device sleep and only use wake locks for updating.

- remember that the location returned is the last known one, let the device get a fix on it's current location.

Hello

I am building the app that requires that users location has to be updated on my server periodically or to be more efficient only when its location has been updated.

For that a Service will run on its device.

But I am not able to develop that till now haven't found that does that perfectly.

Please help
