timer - Android Try Getting location for X seconds without freezing the app -


what trying gps location 2 providers, first 1 gps accurate, second 1 agps combination of gps , network. doing because agps can location in tall buildings when normal gps takes more time get. want try getting location first provider(gps) 10 seconds, if in 10 seconds location!=null, break timed loop , take result main thread, main activity. else ill take location second provider(agps) if available. if none of provider able location, return null after 10 seconds. problem facing is, when timed loop, app freezes 10 seconds im not able location main activity.

here trying location on homeactivity class extends activity:

button btnredcross = (button) this.findviewbyid(r.id.btnredcross);         btnredcross.setonclicklistener(new onclicklistener() {              @override             public void onclick(view arg0) {                 outrequestsdatabasehandler db =new outrequestsdatabasehandler();                 outrequest outreq = new outrequest();                 outreq.setname("red cross");                 //todo message localuser db                 calendar cal = calendar.getinstance();                 outreq.setdate(cal.gettimeinmillis());                 outreq.setmessage("my message");                 outreq.settype("redcross");                 //outreq.setlongitude(12.123456);                 //outreq.setlatitude(12.123456);                 db.addoutrequest(homeactivity.this, outreq);                 //here trying location                 gpstracker locationtracker=new gpstracker(homeactivity.this);                 location=locationtracker.getlocation();                 log.i("locationgetter","result: longitude:"+location[0]+" latitude:"+location[1]);             }         });     }

this gpstracker class 2 providers try location:

public class gpstracker{     context con;     locationmanager locmgr;     private double longgps;     private double latgps;     private double longnetwork;     private double latnetwork;     private locationlistener gpslocationlistener;

        locationprovider high = locmgr.getprovider(locmgr.getbestprovider(                 createfinecriteria(), true));         locationprovider low = locmgr.getprovider(locmgr.getbestprovider(                 createcoarsecriteria(), true));

    locmgr.removeupdates(gpslocationlistener);     networklocationlistener = null;     gpslocationlistener = null;     return location; } }

isn't multithreading problem. instead of doing work on main thread, 1 create second thread doesn't matter if thread idle 10 seconds.

incidentally, instead of relying on single provider, think it's better use providers , trust them according accuracy using kalman filter. see my answer here simple kalman filter seems work in context of android location providers.
