Android Question GPS Background Tracking..

Ok, Thanks...


The problem is that when the user closes the app, the service is still active, and since it is tracking, when the user reopens the app, the GPS service no longer works.

1.- Can the service be completely eliminated when closing the app?

2.- If I try to use the notification with NB6, it is no longer seen in this case.

B4X:

Sub CreateNotification (Body As String) As Notification
'    Dim notification As Notification
'    notification.Initialize2(notification.IMPORTANCE_LOW)
'    notification.Icon = "icon"
'    notification.Number=0
'    'notification.AutoCancel=True
'    notification.SetInfo("Tracking", Body, Main)
'    Return notification


'    Dim n As NB6
'    n.Initialize("default", Application.LabelName, "DEFAULT").AutoCancel(True).SmallIcon(bm)
'    n.Build("Title", "Content", "tag1", Me).Notify(4) 'It will be Main (or any other activity) instead of Me if called from a service.

    Dim n As NB6
    n.Initialize("default", Application.LabelName, "LOW").SmallIcon(bm)
    n.SetDefaults(False, False, False)
    Log(Body)
    Return n.Build("MyApp", "Tracking...", "tag", Main)

End Sub

What is the correct way to do it? So that when the app ends, everything ends?

B4X:

Sub Service_Start (StartingIntent As Intent)
    'Service.StopAutomaticForeground 'Call this when the background task completes (if there is one)
    Service.StartForeground(nid, CreateNotification("..."))
    StartServiceAt(Me, DateTime.Now + 30 * DateTime.TicksPerMinute, True)
    Track
End Sub

Public Sub StartLocationUpdates
    flp.RequestLocationUpdates(CreateLocationRequest)
End Sub

Private Sub CreateLocationRequest As LocationRequest
    Dim lr As LocationRequest
    lr.Initialize
    lr.SetInterval(5000)    '    1000 milliseconds
    lr.SetPriority(lr.Priority.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY)
    lr.SetSmallestDisplacement(3)    '    1 meter
    Return lr
End Sub
