Getcurrentlocationinbackground Parse.com

I'm trying to develop application that uses GPS locations for services. Each service should has a location (GeoPoint). I'm trying to get my current location and save it to parse da

Solution 1:

I was able to fix this by adding the following dependency in build.grade:

dependencies {
    compile'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:7.5.0'
}

I also had to remove all ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION and ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permissions from AndroidManifest.xml, which seems very strange.

The way you have defined the Criteria is correct, and also necessary.

This is a really nice feature in the Parse.com API but I wish they would provide some documentation. As is, I don't really trust it... I'm just using it as a quick and dirty solution until I have time to implement Google Play Services properly.
