Body
copied!<p>I have created a <code>GPS</code> service which reads location updates on a regular interval. Earlier there was an issue that <code>GPS</code> was going in sleep mode after some time and no location updates were giver thereafter.</p> <p>Now I have changed my code to unregister and register <code>GPS</code> location updates on a regular interval. This solves my problem of <code>GPS</code> going in sleep mode but a new issue is created. That is</p> <p>My service is terminated after some time. I am not able to check the reason for this. Please Help.</p> <p>Here are some code snipplets</p> <pre><code>@Override public void onCreate() { super.onCreate(); timer.schedule(checkLocationListener, new Date(), 1000 * 60 * 15); } private TimerTask checkLocationListener = new TimerTask() { @Override public void run() { handler.post(new Runnable() { public void run() { lm.removeUpdates(LocationService.this); lm.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, CommonConstants.GPS_POLL, CommonConstants.GPS_MIN_DIST, LocationService.this); } }); } }; @Override public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) { Log.d(LocationService.class.getSimpleName(), "Start"); valueMap.put(CommonConstants.STATUS, CommonConstants.STATUS_DROP); trackMe(); new Thread() { public void run() { while (true) { try { String url = DeviceConfig.getMessage(); if (url == null) { Thread.sleep(60000); continue; } HttpRequester.getServerResponse(url, null); DeviceConfig.addValue(CommonConstants.SERVER_UPD, "" + System.currentTimeMillis()); DeviceConfig.removeMessage(); } catch (Exception e) { Log.e(LocationService.class.getSimpleName(), "Error", e); } } } }.start(); return (START_NOT_STICKY); } private void trackMe() { lm = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE); lm.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, CommonConstants.GPS_POLL, CommonConstants.GPS_MIN_DIST, this); DeviceConfig.addValue(CommonConstants.GPS_STATE, lm.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER) ?
