Android Question How can I know that GPS satellites are found?

[Baris Karadeniz]

How can I know that GPS satellites are found after enabling GPS? I need to send GPS data to the server after GPS location is determined. Otherwise it sends unknown data.

I mean I need to know GPS satellites are fixed or not.

What do you mean with unknown data? The LocationChanged event will only be raised if there is a "fixed" location. You can handle the GpsStatus event to monitor the found satellites and whether they were used in the last location fix.

Before fixing location there is no data. I mean this when I say unknown data.

How can I know Location changed event is raised or not? I don't want to send data to the server before fixed location.

You should handle the LocationChanged event.

See the tutorial: GPS tutorial

How many satellites should be found to fix location? Is it 6?

To fix a location are 3 satellites enough.
