I am trying to get satellite information from android by writing code around LocationManager.getGpsStatus(...) but it is not giving any result, can anyone show me how to properly implement such code?
According to the android documentation, it should be called in the onGpsStatusChanged(int) callback to ensure the data is copied atomically.
Now try implementing GpsStatus.Listener in your Activity class and overriding the onGpsStatusChanged(int) method. Still not clear? try looking at the code example below.
public class MyActivity extends Activity implements GpsStatus.Listener {
LocationManager locationManager = null;
TextView tv = null;
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.gps);
tv = (TextView)(findViewById(R.id.Gpsinfo));
locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
locationManager.addGpsStatusListener(this);
}
@Override
public void onGpsStatusChanged(int) {
GpsStatus gpsStatus = locationManager.getGpsStatus(null);
if(gpsStatus != null) {
Iterable<GpsSatellite>satellites = gpsStatus.getSatellites();
Iterator<GpsSatellite>sat = satellites.iterator();
int i=0;
while (sat.hasNext()) {
GpsSatellite satellite = sat.next();
strGpsStats+= (i++) + ": " + satellite.getPrn() + "," + satellite.usedInFix() + "," + satellite.getSnr() + "," + satellite.getAzimuth() + "," + satellite.getElevation()+ "\n\n";
}
tv.setText(strGpsStats);
}
}
}
Good luck!
