1.Don't known reason for crash step 


But in My Samsung galaxy s 4 location service it disable when this crash happen 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Phone Name : Samsung Galaxy S 4

OS: Kitkat 4.4.2

Library version that i am using v17 of little-fluffy-location

Let me known if you require more detail for identify issue root cause. 

Steps:
Call LocationLibrary.forceLocationUpdate() and wait 30s before getting a 
location fix. 

My app relies on getting a location fix immediately (or at least quickly) on 
startup. I call  LocationLibrary.forceLocationUpdate() in my main activity and 
was expecting to get a location fix quickly. However, it always takes 30sec 
before LocationBroadcastService starts and before I receive a callback on my 
broadcast receiver. It looks like the problem is in 
PassiveLocationChangedReceiver when it processes a single shot update. The 
delay is hardcoded to 30 seconds:

LocationBroadcastService.forceDelayedServiceCall(context, 30);

Is there a way to make it configurable? Or is there any other way to get a 
location fix faster than 30 seconds?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create an activity that uses little-fluffy-location-library (with either a 
global broadcast receiver on with a broadcast receiver internal to the 
activity).
2.from the first activity - launch a new activity with a SurfaceView widget (in 
my project - it receives a feed from the camera).
3. when the second activity is launched - the there is no rendring of the ui. 
clicking "Back" brings you back to the first activity and everything works (the 
app is still alive and functioning).

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I would like the second 
activity to show the feed from the camera.

Please provide any additional information below.

FYI - 
1. the activity containing the SurfaceView widget worked previously. if I 
launch it as the first activity - it works.
2. If I remove all little-fluffy-location-library code from the project - the 
second activity with the SurfaceView starts working again.
3. I think this may have to do with threading. is it possible that 
little-fluffy-location-library runs within the ui thread, blocking the 
SurfaceView somehow? I Googled for hours but couldn't find a solution. you are 
my last resort.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I tested this on a LG phone with android 2.2.1. Same behavior on emulators with 
version 2.2 and 4.1.2. 

little-fluffy-location-library is a great lib. love it!

If i am indoor and my GPS is on i cant get any location. Is there some way i 
can get location from network provider for example, when gps is not able obtain 
location in some time interval (30 seconds for example)?

Please provide any additional information below.
This is not an issues. First, I have to say that this library has saved me 
hours in time and hundreds of lines in code over the large number of projects I 
have been working on in the last year. It is easy, simple and most importantly 
- it works!
I was basically just wandering if it could be possible to add and expose 
bearing and speed in the locationInfo model?
I suppose it would be some work to go through the code and add those items to 
preferences everywhere.
Just a suggestion!

Either way, thank you for an amazing library and selfless effort!

Hey, 

Let me start of with: "This Library is uber awesome" and I'd love to get some 
help from you with this. 

I've set up the LocationLibrary as specified using: 

public static void initialiseLibrary(final Context context, final long 
alarmFrequency, final int locationMaximumAge, final boolean 
broadcastEveryLocationUpdate, final String broadcastPrefix) 

I setup the receiver with intent-filter as expected
I ensured the Library is working correctly - the locationInfo object is showing 
and the location accuracy is fine.

I expected the Location Update to run on AlarmFrequency (5minutes - 300000ms) - 
instead it kept on updating every 90sec or so. 

I tried both v15 and v17. WIth default 
LocationLibrary.initialiseLibrary(context, prefix) i gives me constant updates 
as well - no alarm frequency happening anywhere... 

I'm using 4.4 (Nexus7) and L (Nexus4) on my devices. I was also wondering 
whether it's possible to broadcast the location even if it haven't changed ? 

Android: 4.4.2
Manufacturer: samsung
Model: GT-I9192

    at com.littlefluffytoys.littlefluffylocationlibrary.LocationBroadcastService$1.run(SourceFile:94)
    at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:841)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Disable Location support .


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

- The service should have terminated seeing that there is no available 
providers Instead that background service keeps running infinitely.


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

- Version v17, android 4.4


I suppose, the service should timeout, if it doesn't receive callback from 
location service if a pre-defined time ( say 5 minutes) has elapsed.

Following logs are recorded:

"LocationBroadcastService: Force a single location update, as current location 
is beyond the oldest location permitted"
I am getting this log again and again. Location not getting updated. I tried 
the sample app you have provided.


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I was expecting location. instead i get logs i mentioned above,

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Can be reproduced on almost all the devices randomly. from 2.2 to 4.1. 
Reproduced on s3 as well.

Please provide any additional information below.

how about to turn this project into maven?
I can post pom.xml

Thank you for the library it is great.
You mentioned that if I initialize your library in the first activity it will 
reset on a reboot. 
I want my user to be able to change the location update interval as a 
preference. After user have changed the time interval value, does he have to 
restart the application to take effect? How can I do that?

More a question than an issue: 
why does little-fluffy-location-library use and save the last known location in 
the preferences and does not use something like LocationManager 
getLastKnownLocation or getLastLocation on LocationClient? I think this may 
also  remove the need of the PassiveLocationChangedReceiver, as these methods 
return the last known location, even if used by another application.

Thanks and regards

There is no way to change the update frequency at runtime.

When debugging and such it would be great if LocationInfo displayed it's guts 
when toStringed.

There are several problems with locationManager and NETWORK_PROVIDER on recent 
android versions (see http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=57707)

It would be very nice to have lfll use locationClient where available, and 
downgrade to locationManager only on old devices or where google play services 
is not available.

Hello.
Library always working with network provider , why it is not checking for gps 
location ?

It will be ok awesome if little fluffy location library starts supporting 
gradle library configuration. I think it should be easy.

Hi, 
First of all - thanks a lot for a beautiful library, it's really useful.

There is one minor problem. LittleFluffyLocationLibrary uses PASSIVE_PROVIDER 
to determine coordinates. According to developers guide, PASSIVE_PROVIDER "can 
be used to passively receive location updates when other applications or 
services request them without actually requesting the locations yourself. This 
provider will return locations generated by other providers. You can query the 
getProvider() method to determine the origin of the location update"

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/LocationManager.html#PAS
SIVE_PROVIDER

It looks like current version of the LittleFluffyLocationLibrary doesn't allow 
to receive origin provider name ("network", "GPS", etc). But sometime it would 
be useful to show real provider name to the user. 

I have attached possible patch that can solve this problem. It adds new field 
originProvider to class LocationInfo. Please check if it worth to make such or 
alternative modification. I am not sure, but probably filling originProvider 
field should be made optional because it's not necessary in most cases...

Really i don't think its really an issue, but the coordinates I got doesn't fit 
on gmaps, seems that it have another format maybe? I use toString to see what I 
got:

lastLocationUpdateTimestamp=none lastLocationBroadcastTimestamp=none 
lastLat=-2147,483643 lastLong=-2147,483643 lastAccuracy=2147483647

And the error:
