Parameters

Attributes

RegisterAttribute

Remarks

Register for location updates from the specified provider, using a LocationRequest, and callbacks delivered via the provided PendingIntent.

The delivered pending intents will contain extras with the callback information. The keys used for the extras are #KEY_LOCATION_CHANGED and #KEY_PROVIDER_ENABLED. See the documentation for each respective extra key for information on the values.

To unregister for location updates, use #removeUpdates(PendingIntent).

Parameters

Attributes

RegisterAttribute

Exceptions

Remarks

Register for location updates using a provider selected through the given Criteria, and callbacks delivered via the provided PendingIntent.

Note: Since Android KitKat, Criteria requests will always result in using the #FUSED_PROVIDER.

See #requestLocationUpdates(String, long, float, PendingIntent) for more detail on how this method works.

This member is deprecated. Use #requestLocationUpdates(String, long, float, PendingIntent) instead to explicitly select a provider.

Parameters

Attributes

RegisterAttribute

Remarks

Register for location updates from the specified provider, using a LocationRequest, and a callback on the specified Executor.

Only one request can be registered for each unique listener/provider pair, so any subsequent requests with the same provider and listener will overwrite all associated arguments. The same listener may be used across multiple providers with different requests for each provider.

It may take some time to receive the first location update depending on the conditions the device finds itself in. In order to take advantage of cached locations, application may consider using #getLastKnownLocation(String) or #getCurrentLocation(String, LocationRequest, CancellationSignal, Executor, Consumer) instead.

See LocationRequest documentation for an explanation of various request parameters and how they can affect the received locations.

If your application wants to passively observe location updates from all providers, then use the #PASSIVE_PROVIDER. This provider does not turn on or modify active location providers, so you do not need to be as careful about minimum time and minimum distance parameters. However, if your application performs heavy work on a location update (such as network activity) then you should set an explicit fastest interval on your location request in case another application enables a location provider with extremely fast updates.

In case the provider you have selected is disabled, location updates will cease, and a provider availability update will be sent. As soon as the provider is enabled again, another provider availability update will be sent and location updates will resume.

Locations returned from #GPS_PROVIDER are with respect to the primary GNSS antenna position within the device. #getGnssAntennaInfos() may be used to determine the GNSS antenna position with respect to the Android Coordinate System, and convert between them if necessary. This is generally only necessary for high accuracy applications.

When location callbacks are invoked, the system will hold a wakelock on your application's behalf for some period of time, but not indefinitely. If your application requires a long running wakelock within the location callback, you should acquire it yourself.

Spamming location requests is a drain on system resources, and the system has preventative measures in place to ensure that this behavior will never result in more locations than could be achieved with a single location request with an equivalent interval that is left in place the whole time. As part of this amelioration, applications that target Android S and above may receive cached or historical locations through their listener. These locations will never be older than the interval of the location request.

To unregister for location updates, use #removeUpdates(LocationListener).
