Hi there, I've found a new issue when you install an app with location gathering enabled. The crash is the following one:

05-23 15:58:23.148: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(28769): FATAL EXCEPTION: com.quantcast.measurement.service.QuantcastGlobalControlProvider#initializing java.lang.RuntimeException: Can't create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare() at android.os.Handler.(Handler.java:121) at android.location.LocationManager$ListenerTransport$1.(LocationManager.java:180) at android.location.LocationManager$ListenerTransport.(LocationManager.java:180) at android.location.LocationManager._requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.java:586) at android.location.LocationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.java:453) at com.quantcast.measurement.service.QuantcastClient$LocationMonitor.startListening(QuantcastClient.java:601) at com.quantcast.measurement.service.QuantcastClient$2.callback(QuantcastClient.java:500) at com.quantcast.measurement.service.QuantcastGlobalControlProvider$3.callback(QuantcastGlobalControlProvider.java:134) at com.quantcast.measurement.service.QuantcastGlobalControlProvider.notifyListeners(QuantcastGlobalControlProvider.java:161) at com.quantcast.measurement.service.QuantcastGlobalControlProvider.access$200(QuantcastGlobalControlProvider.java:28) at com.quantcast.measurement.service.QuantcastGlobalControlProvider$1.run(QuantcastGlobalControlProvider.java:65) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:856)

Nevertheless, when you run again the app, once installed, it works properly.

Please, take a look at this issue. Thank you very much, Omar

Thanks Omar. We will take a look at this issue and have a fix next release.

Hi Omar. I'm really sorry it took so long for me to get this out. I did a lot of refactoring around location in order to hopefully be more robust and also to reduce battery consumption. Please let me know if you are still running into some issues.
