Android Question GoogleMap MyLocation in a Service Module

[pigman]

Hi
I want to use StartServiceAt every 1 minute and log GoogleMap.Mylocation Latitude and Logitude into a database. Can GoogleMap library be used in a ServiceModule without a Layout with a MapFragment?

Or should the GPS library be used for this?

you can consider to use the FusedLocationProvider Lib: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/fusedlocationprovider.50614/

You cannot use GoogleMaps from a service. It requires an activity context.

You should start a new thread for your question, and post your code. Without it, it's difficult to help you

Check:

Background location tracking

Simple example of a foreground service that keeps the process running in the background. The current location is shown in the persistent notification. The app starts at boot and theoretically should run all the time. It also schedules itself to run with StartServiceAt. This can help in cases...
