'sleep' Issue With Gps Location Updates On Some Devices

I have an app that uses GPS for regular updates. It used to be the case that when the device was put to sleep (screen turned off, screen timeout etc), the location updates kept on

Solution 1:

First of all only the onPause() is called with 100% of probability by OS, onStop() and onDestroy() could be not called by OS. You should unregister in onPause(), in addition the design is wrong because to do it you have two options:

1) Use a pending intent with a broadcast receiver/intent service to manage the position;

2) Use a foreground service to install a location listener.

Activity it's not the good place to do this thing.

Solution 2:

Actually the simplest way of doing this seems to be a partial wake lock.
