    <p>I am trying to create a android service that will give updates on the users' location every 5 minutes. I am using the DDMS to send coordinates to the emulator which works fine. I need to convert these coordinates and get the location Eg: New York and using a Toast, print it on screen. I am not using any maps i am trying to use the Geocoder to convert the coordinates supplied by DDMS into the location. I don't get errors but it seems that the coordinates are not being converted to the location and nothing is displayed on screen. Please help have been struggling with this for a very long time. Here is my code. Thanks </p> <pre><code>public class GetLocationService extends Service { protected LocationManager locationManager; Button start; @Override public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub return null; } @Override public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId){ LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE); LocationListener ll = new MyLocListener(); Location location = new Location("abc"); ll.onLocationChanged(location ); locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 1000, 0, ll); return START_STICKY; } private class MyLocListener implements LocationListener { public void onLocationChanged(Location location) { if (location != null) { Log.d("LOCATION CHANGED", location.getLatitude() + ""); Log.d("LOCATION CHANGED", location.getLongitude() + ""); } double latitude = location.getLatitude(); double longitude = location.getLongitude(); Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), location.getLatitude() + "" + location.getLongitude(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); try{ Geocoder geo = new Geocoder(GetLocationService.this.getApplicationContext(), Locale.getDefault()); List&lt;Address&gt; addresses = geo.getFromLocation(latitude, longitude, 1); if (addresses.size() &gt; 0) { Log.d("TAG",addresses.get(0).getFeatureName() + ", " + addresses.get(0).getLocality() +"," + addresses.get(0).getAdminArea() + "," + addresses.get(0).getCountryName()); } Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), addresses.get(0).getFeatureName() + ", " + addresses.get(0).getLocality() +"," + addresses.get(0).getAdminArea() + "," + addresses.get(0).getCountryName(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } } </code></pre> <p>////Start Service////</p> <pre><code> public class MyService extends Activity { @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){ super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.service); startService(new Intent(getBaseContext(), GetLocationService.class)); } } </code></pre> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/x0qc0.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>

    1. COAre your log statements being executed? Also, have you tied changing "GetLocationService.this" to "getApplicationContext()" in Toast.makeText() because maybe your toast isn't being sent to the right place.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
