Location update stops using NETWORK_PROVIDER after reboot device

Question

In my application Location update stops after reboot the device. i'm using both gps and network to find a current location in my application,after reboot gps is working correctly but when i turn off the gps the app is unfortunately closed. this is my problem

this is my code Servicestart.java

    public class Servicestart extends Service {


     boolean gps_enabled = false;
     boolean network_enabled = false;

    @Override
    public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return null;
    }
@Override
public void onCreate() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    Log.i("service started", "start");


      final LocationManager locMan = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
      if(userFunctions.isUserLoggedIn(getApplicationContext())){




    if(Broadcast.check==false)
    {   
        LocationListener locatioListner = new LocationListener() {


            public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub

            }

            public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub

            }

            public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                get();
            }

            public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {

                Log.i("location", "loc");
                String latitude=String.valueOf(location.getLatitude());
                String longtitude=String.valueOf(location.getLongitude());
                //location updated starts here



                }

        };
        locMan.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0, locatioListner);

    }





      }

}

void get()
{

     final LocationManager locMan = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
     gps_enabled = locMan.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
     network_enabled = locMan.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);

     if (!gps_enabled && !network_enabled) {  Context context = getApplicationContext();
     int duration = Toast.LENGTH_SHORT;
     Toast toast = Toast.makeText(context, "nothing is enabled", duration);
     toast.show();

 }



     LocationListener locatioListnerGps = new LocationListener() {

            public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {

            }

            public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {

                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "gpsenabled", 1000).show();
            }

            public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "gps disable", 1000).show();

                get();

            }

            public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {

                String latitude=String.valueOf(location.getLatitude());
                String longtitude=String.valueOf(location.getLongitude());

    }
    if(network_enabled){

             locationListenerNetwork);
     locMan.removeUpdates( locatioListnerGps);
 }

}
}

please help and guide me...

because i'm beginer

Thanks in advance...

I believe you haven't code it to auto run after re-boot. Visit this question [How to Start an Application on Startup?](http://stackoverflow.com/q/6391902/2567598) — Vigbyor, Jan 20 '14 at 11:37
@Vigbyor i have a code to auto run after re-boot.but my question is not that network_provider is not working after reboot thats all.. — rohit, Jan 20 '14 at 11:40

if (gps_enabled)
    {
     locMan.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0,
            locatioListnerGps);
     locMan.removeUpdates( locationListenerNetwork);
    }
    if(network_enabled){
     locMan.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 0, 0,
             locationListenerNetwork);
     locMan.removeUpdates( locatioListnerGps);
 }

Check your code first. Why are you removing updates here?

To start a service on BOOT please add in manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />

BroadcastReceiver not receiving BOOT_COMPLETED Chk this link for more info

Try this code and let me know : Service code for location update :

public class GPSTracker extends Service implements LocationListener {
private  Context mContext;
private final String TAG = "GPSTracker";

// flag for GPS status
boolean isGPSEnabled = false;

// flag for network status
boolean isNetworkEnabled = false;

// flag for GPS status
boolean canGetLocation = false;

Location location; // location
double latitude; // latitude
double longitude; // longitude

// The minimum distance to change Updates in meters
private static final long MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES = 10; // 10 meters

// The minimum time between updates in milliseconds
private static final long MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES = 1000 * 60 * 1; // 1 minute

// Declaring a Location Manager
protected LocationManager locationManager;
Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.LOCATION_CHANGE);

@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
    Log.d(TAG,"onStartCommand");
    Log.d(TAG, "flag " + flags + "startId" + startId);
    this.mContext = this;
    getLocation();
    return super.onStartCommand(intent, flags, startId);
}

public Location getLocation() {
    try {
        locationManager = (LocationManager) mContext
                .getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);

        // getting GPS status
        isGPSEnabled = locationManager
                .isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);

        // getting network status
        isNetworkEnabled = locationManager
                .isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
        Log.d(TAG,"getlocation gpsEnabled " + isGPSEnabled + "networkenabled"
                + isNetworkEnabled);

        if (!isGPSEnabled && !isNetworkEnabled) {
            // no network provider is enabled
        } else {
            this.canGetLocation = true;
            // First get location from Network Provider
            if (isNetworkEnabled) {

                locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(
                        LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER,

thanks for your responce. that's not a problem.. after i remove the locMan.removeUpdates(...) code the same problem network_provider is not working after reboot. please guide me... — rohit, Jan 20 '14 at 11:54
yes.. i start the service and then the gps location update is working correctly — rohit, Jan 20 '14 at 11:59
i done all of these correctly and reboot service is starting correctly and gps location is updated perfectly... when i turn off the gps the app is unfortunately stoped. thats only my problem — rohit, Jan 20 '14 at 12:03
this flag is.. i use here... public class Broadcast extends BroadcastReceiver { public static boolean check=true; @Override public void onReceive(Context content, Intent intent) { check=false; Intent serviceIntent = new Intent("com.example.Servicestart"); content.startService(serviceIntent); } } — rohit, Jan 20 '14 at 12:06
how are you getting location update from service in activity? — Zohra Khan, Jan 20 '14 at 12:07
ok, But how your activity will know that there is a change in database? — Zohra Khan, Jan 20 '14 at 12:10
i'm not understand clearly...i have a json class . in my servicestart.java file i get the location and pass as a parameter to thejson class here i update the location to database using php-mysql interaction — rohit, Jan 20 '14 at 12:15
