POActivity Recognition and Location Updates using Google play services
text
Body
copied!<p>I am trying to receive the locations based on activity of the user,i.e., if the user is still the location updates are less frequent and if he is walking or driving the updates are quicker. I have written a service to receive the location updates and placed a broadcast receiver in the <code>onCreate()</code> method which receives the intents broadcasted from main activity. These broadcasted intents carry the string that tell my broadcast receiver the "activity" of the user. But this receiver never receives the intents, so i am unable to set <code>locationRequest</code> timings, based on which I will pass the appropriate <code>locationRequest</code> to the services. </p> <p>Can any body tell and help why is the broadcast reciever in the <code>onCreate</code> of services might not be getting called. Thanks. </p> <pre><code>public class MyActivityRecognition extends Activity implements GooglePlayServicesClient.ConnectionCallbacks, GooglePlayServicesClient.OnConnectionFailedListener { private ActivityRecognitionClient arclient; private PendingIntent pIntent; private BroadcastReceiver receiver; private TextView tvActivity; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); tvActivity = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvActivity); int resp = GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(this); if (resp == ConnectionResult.SUCCESS) { arclient = new ActivityRecognitionClient(this, this, this); arclient.connect(); } else { Toast.makeText(this, "Please install Google Play Service.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } receiver = new BroadcastReceiver() { @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { String u = intent.getStringExtra("Activity"); String v = "Activity :" + intent.getStringExtra("Activity") + " " + "Confidence : " + intent.getExtras().getInt("Confidence") + "\n"; tvActivity.setText(v); Intent activityIntent = new Intent(); intent.setAction("com.example.useractivity"); intent.putExtra("ACTIVITY", u); sendBroadcast(activityIntent); } }; </code></pre> <p>The service class is as follows : </p> <pre><code>public class LocationService extends Service implements GooglePlayServicesClient.ConnectionCallbacks, GooglePlayServicesClient.OnConnectionFailedListener, LocationListener { private final static int CONNECTION_FAILURE_RESOLUTION_REQUEST = 9000; private static final int MILLISECONDS_PER_SECOND = 1000; private static final int FASTEST_INTERVAL_IN_SECONDS = 5; private static final long FASTEST_INTERVAL = MILLISECONDS_PER_SECOND * FASTEST_INTERVAL_IN_SECONDS; LocationRequest mLocationRequest; LocationClient mLocationClient; boolean mUpdatesRequested; String mActivity="Still"; private BroadcastReceiver myReceiver; @Override public void onCreate() { super.onCreate(); myReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() { @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { String action = intent.getAction(); if(action.equals("com.example.useractivity")){ mActivity = intent.getExtras().getString("ACTIVITY"); } } }; IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(); filter.addAction("com.example.useractivity"); registerReceiver(myReceiver, filter); mLocationRequest = LocationRequest.create(); mLocationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY); if (mActivity.equalsIgnoreCase("Still") || mActivity.equalsIgnoreCase("Tilting") || mActivity.equalsIgnoreCase("Unknown")) { mLocationRequest.setInterval(30*1000); } else if (mActivity.equalsIgnoreCase("On Foot") || mActivity.equalsIgnoreCase("On Bicycle")) { mLocationRequest.setInterval(20*1000); } else if (mActivity.equalsIgnoreCase("In Vehicle")) { mLocationRequest.setInterval(10*1000); } mLocationRequest.setFastestInterval(FASTEST_INTERVAL); mLocationClient = new LocationClient(getApplicationContext(), this, this); mUpdatesRequested = true; mLocationClient.connect(); } @Override public void onLocationChanged(Location location) { String latitude = Double.toString(location.getLatitude()); String longitude = Double.toString(location.getLongitude()); String msg = "Updated Location: " + latitude + "," + longitude; Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), msg, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); System.out.println(Double.toString(location.getLatitude()) + "," + Double.toString(location.getLongitude())); SaveData sd = new SaveData(getApplicationContext()); sd.save(mActivity, latitude, longitude); } @Override public void onConnected(Bundle arg0) { if (mUpdatesRequested) { mLocationClient.requestLocationUpdates(mLocationRequest, this); } } </code></pre>
