Getting issue while retrieve location with different location request mode - location

Question

For retrieve location i have used GoogleAPIClient with FusedLocationProvider API.
These functions are in onCreate() method.
createLocationRequest();
mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
.addApi(LocationServices.API)
.addConnectionCallbacks(this)
.addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
.build();
gpsChecker();
Full Code
protected void createLocationRequest() {
mLocationRequest = new LocationRequest();
mLocationRequest.setInterval(INTERVAL);
mLocationRequest.setFastestInterval(FASTEST_INTERVAL);
mLocationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
}
public void gpsChecker() {
LocationSettingsRequest.Builder builder = new LocationSettingsRequest.Builder()
.addLocationRequest(mLocationRequest);
builder.setAlwaysShow(true);
PendingResult<LocationSettingsResult> result =
LocationServices.SettingsApi.checkLocationSettings(mGoogleApiClient, builder.build());
result.setResultCallback(new ResultCallback<LocationSettingsResult>() {
#Override
public void onResult(LocationSettingsResult result) {
final Status status = result.getStatus();
switch (status.getStatusCode()) {
case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.SUCCESS:
// All location settings are satisfied. The client can initialize location
// requests here.
break;
case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.RESOLUTION_REQUIRED:
// Location settings are not satisfied. But could be fixed by showing the user
// a dialog.
try {
// Show the dialog by calling startResolutionForResult(),
// and check the result in onActivityResult().
status.startResolutionForResult(
AddVisitActivity.this, 1000);
} catch (IntentSender.SendIntentException e) {
// Ignore the error.
}
break;
case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.SETTINGS_CHANGE_UNAVAILABLE:
// Location settings are not satisfied. However, we have no way to fix the
// settings so we won't show the dialog.
break;
}
}
});
}
For run time permissions i did this.
protected void startLocationUpdates() {
if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale
(AddVisitActivity.this, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)) {
Snackbar.make(findViewById(android.R.id.content),
"Please Grant Permissions",
Snackbar.LENGTH_INDEFINITE).setAction("ENABLE",
new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(AddVisitActivity.this, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)
!= PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(AddVisitActivity.this,
new String[]{android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION},
REQUEST_CODE_LOCATION);
} else {
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(
mGoogleApiClient, mLocationRequest, AddVisitActivity.this);
Log.d(TAG, "Location update started ...: ");
}
}
}).show();
} else {
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)
!= PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this,
new String[]{android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION},
REQUEST_CODE_LOCATION);
} else {
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(
mGoogleApiClient, mLocationRequest, this);
Log.d(TAG, "Location update started ...: ");
}
}
}
For checking if the GPS enabled or not in setting screen using gpsChecker() with request code 1000 and in onActivityResult() i have done this.
if (requestCode == 1000) {
switch (resultCode) {
case Activity.RESULT_OK:
Log.i(TAG, "User agreed to make required location settings changes.");
startLocationUpdates();
break;
case Activity.RESULT_CANCELED:
Log.i(TAG, "User chose not to make required location settings changes.");
finish();
break;
}
}
While i execute this code in some devices its working and in some device the location request automatically set to Device Only or Battery Saving though i have set mLocationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
Note : Mi Note 4, Vivo V9 Pro, Mi Note 5 Pro and some other device getting the issue
So what should i need to change in my code so will it work proper with the High Accuracy?

Answer 1

Finally solved by changing
mLocationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
to
mLocationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_BALANCED_POWER_ACCURACY);
and change
private static final long INTERVAL = 1000 * 60 * 60;
private static final long FASTEST_INTERVAL = 1000 * 5;
interval time to 30 minutes and fastest interval to 5 seconds means once get location in 5 seconds after then new location will be get in 30 minutes.

Answer 2

Try this solutin with GPS Provider and make sure that your GPS service is ON.
static final int LOCATION_INTERVAL = 1000;
static final float LOCATION_DISTANCE = 10f;
//put this in onCreate();
LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) this.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
mprovider = locationManager.getBestProvider(criteria, false);
if (mprovider != null && !mprovider.equals("")) {
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
return;
}
Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(mprovider);
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(mprovider, LOCATION_INTERVAL, LOCATION_DISTANCE, this);
if (location != null)
onLocationChanged(location);
else
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "No Location Provider Found Check Your Code", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
//put this LocationListener after onCreate();
public LocationListener mLocationListener = new LocationListener() {
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
if (location != null) {
Log.e(String.format("%f, %f", location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude()), "");
Log.e("Location available", "Location available");
locationManager.removeUpdates(mLocationListener);
} else {
Log.e("Location is null", "Location is null");
}
current_latitude = location.getLatitude();
current_longitude = location.getLongitude();
/* LatLng latLng = new LatLng(current_latitude, current_longitude);
points.add(latLng);
redrawLine();*/
Log.e("current_latitude", String.valueOf(current_latitude));
Log.e("current_longitude", String.valueOf(current_longitude));
if (location.hasSpeed()) {
//progressBarCircularIndeterminate.setVisibility(View.GONE);
String speed = String.format(Locale.ENGLISH, "%.0f", location.getSpeed() * 3.6) + "km/h";
SpannableString s = new SpannableString(speed);
s.setSpan(new RelativeSizeSpan(0.25f), s.length() - 4, s.length(), 0);
txt_current_speed.setText(s);
}
}
#Override
public void onStatusChanged(String s, int i, Bundle bundle) {
}
#Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String s) {
}
#Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String s) {
}
};
