  1. POAndroid: How to get location information from intent bundle extras when using LocationManager.requestLocationUpdates()
    text
    copied!<p>I am trying to use Android's LocationManager requestLocationUpdates. Everything is working until I try to extract the actual location object that in my broadcast receiver. Do I need to specifically define the "extras" to my custom intent so that the Android LocationManager before I pass it to requestLocationUpdates so it knows how to add it into the intent, or will it create the extras-bundle regardless when it passes the fired intent to the broadcast receiver?</p> <p>My code looks like this:</p> <pre><code>Intent intent = new Intent("com.myapp.swarm.LOCATION_READY"); PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getApplicationContext(), 0, intent, 0); //Register for broadcast intents int minTime = 5000; int minDistance = 0; lm.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, minTime, minDistance, pendingIntent); </code></pre> <p>I have a broadcast receiver that is defined in the manifesto as:</p> <pre><code>&lt;receiver android:name=".LocationReceiver"&gt; &lt;intent-filter&gt; &lt;action android:name="com.myapp.swarm.LOCATION_READY" /&gt; &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" /&gt; &lt;/intent-filter&gt; &lt;/receiver&gt; </code></pre> <p>And the broadcast receiver class as:</p> <pre><code>public class LocationReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver { @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { //Do this when the system sends the intent Bundle b = intent.getExtras(); Location loc = (Location)b.get("KEY_LOCATION_CHANGED"); Toast.makeText(context, loc.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } } </code></pre> <p>My "loc" object is coming up null.</p>
