How can I get location updates via MyLocationOverlay #506

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
I am using the MyLoctionOverlay (newest osmdroid)

Is it possible to get location updates (every 5 secondes e.g.)? 
E.g. Can I register Location updates in the program ... and does this not have 
a negative effect on the MyLocationManager? 

So e.g. locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,
            3000, 0, gpsLocationListener);

I don't want to interfere with the location updates the MyLocationOverlay needs 
to redraw the location etc. 

I know there is also a MyLocationOverlay.onLocationChanged(). Can I use that 
one? Via inheriting?

Hello - I believe I have answered your question on SO: 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20825077/android-get-location-updates-without
-interfering-with-osmdroid-mylocatoinoverla

But to summarize - you can add multiple listeners to Android's location manager 
without them interfering or you can override the onLocationChanged() event (as 
long as you call through to super).
