Android GPS Location Periodically

Question

I want to create an application that selects a user's location every 5 minutes from 9:00 to 21:00. Now I can’t think of flow. I got confused in :

• Do I have to implement 2 repeating alarm dispatchers, one for every 5 minutes and one for the time interval.?
• Or do it in a way, fire alarm every 5 min and check if it is between the time interval, and then start the location service and upload to the server.?

Please help me with suggestions / tips. How to achieve this in the best way in terms of phone battery efficiency.

Answer 1

Well, you can use Handler to request a location, you can do something like this

 Handler handler = new Handler();
 Runnable runnable = new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            currentLocation = getCurrentUserLocation();
            handler.postDelayed(this, 1000*60*5);
        }
    }
 };
 handler.postDelayed(runnable, 1000*60*5);

And to check the time interval between them, you can configure the alarm manager for this task,

And once the time limit is reached, you need to remove the handler callbacks

handleLocation.removeCallbacksAndMessages(null);

Handler.postDelayer() , 30 , . - - 30 , Handler, - AlarmManager ( ).
