Command to update the location of the following code in 2 seconds:

Question

I’m developing an app and I need it to always update its location within a time frame. I found in this same site the following solution to take the location and turn into a marker as well as the camera goes to that location:

Answer 1

First you have to implement the class LocationListener then implement the method

@Override
    public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
}

here is where you will see your location changing every 2 seconds

then do location updates

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    mLocationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);

    mLocationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, LOCATION_REFRESH_TIME,
            LOCATION_REFRESH_DISTANCE, mLocationListener);
}

where LOCATION_REFRESH_TIME is the time in milliseconds and LOCATION_REFRESH_DISTANCE in metres

don’t forget to add to the manifest

if you are using wi-fi

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/> 

or/and then if you are using GPS

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
