javaandroidandroid-locationlocationmanagerlocationlistener

got some errors when using "requesLocationUpdates()"


I have an app which shows users current coordinates and update it as every 5 meters. but i have problem in the line which i call for "requestLocationUpdates" which is in this line:

 Location location1 = locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(GpsProvider, 0, MINIMUM_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES, mylocationListener);

.

if i place Context as last parameter i will get an error which tells(note that "GpsTracker" is my Main Activity) :

"Cannot resolve method 'requestLocationUpdates(java.lang.String, int, long, com.project.gpstrackerr.GpsTracker)'"

and if i place my locationlistener i will get an error which tells:

Incompatible types.
Required:android.location.Location
Found:void

here is my Full code of my GpsTracker Activity(which is my Main Activity)

        }
    }
}

I want to know where is my problem and how can i solve it and which of them(Context or LocationListener) is better to be used for doing my job.

It's my first time that i ask a question in Stackoverflow so if explanations have some lacks or i was not very clear or any other problems, feel free to ask for more information in comments I will try to be as much as clear i can. and beside of that I'm Kind of New to Programming so if you find something Stupid in my codes Don't get Surprised :D. Thanks for Further Helps!


Solution

  • Thanks for all people who helped me! the problem was for the package i used that was:

    import android.location.LocationListener;
    

    I used next package instead of first package:

    import com.google.android.gms.location.LocationListener;
    

    using this package in @chiru 's script will work fine for me!

    Thanks A Lot Again!
