Re: GPS updates (Looper)

[Kristopher Micinski]

Sure,

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/LocationManager.html#requestLocationUpdates(long,
float, android.location.Criteria, android.location.LocationListener,
android.os.Looper)

has a parameter that takes a looper..

You can call Looper.prepare in your thread..

I is very esay.

Because service send message to your thread through Hander, But your thread has not looper.

You can call like this.

Looper.prepare();

...sendRequestLocationUpdates();

Looper.loop();

I get a runTimeError that says that I don't have a Looper.

Can I get GPS updates in another thread without using a Looper? 

Thanks.
