How can I stop the service from coming each time I open the mobile? Anyway other than modifying the code and install it again?

 

[Reviewnow]

in Activity_Create
Comment out this line
StartService(iGps)
the menu items can start and stop the service also

when gps.start are called indoor then make any DateTime.TicksPerMinute a call of gps.gps notifice remain visible fixed.
when going outdoor and finde a gpssignal then listen any second or more the coordinate.
gps notifice remain visible fixed.
then is`nt posible to stopped gps.
I have tested in debugmode for check in run how is the point.
how can resolve this?

Hi Reviewnow,
I have couple of questions:
1- So this is kind of combination of a service and an activity, right?
2- In activity geoinformation page, gpslat: is repeated towice.. is the last one supposed to be gpsSpeed?
3- the word iGPS confuses because it looks like iPhone library.

see this thread https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...ore-frequently-than-30-minutes.11329/#content

It updates a home screen widget every 1 minute... but it is still a service and will give you insight how to do what you wish.
