Android Question GPS when display turn off

[Angelo Pagone]

Hi,
I'm trying the GPS demo. When the display turns off the application no longer detects changes of position.
I need the continuous application running in the background.
How can I do?

Thanks

How can I do?

Start with using the forumsearch. Exact this is answered a lot of times.

Use a foreground service (for the gps-code) together with a partial wake lock to prevent android from going into sleep

I'm sorry but I'm a beginner in mobile development.
For me it is hard to find keywords for forum search.

Thanks

I see. Ok

For me it is hard to find keywords for forum search.

You now have some keywords to search for

Sub Service_Create
    sNotif.Initialize
    sNotif.Icon = "icon"
    sNotif.Vibrate=False
    sNotif.SetInfo2("GPS","Service Running","FromNotification",Main)
    sNotif.Sound = False
    sNotif.Notify(1)
    Service.StartForeground(1,sNotif)
    GPS1.Initialize("GPS")

...

Service.StartForeground(1,sNotif)


This is how you start the GPS service as a foreground service (a notification is a MUST -> user knows that your app is running)
