After some time i stop the listener by the following code

locationManager.removeUpdates(this);

but problem is it still searching my gps any solution ??? how to stop gps ?

Answer 1

You need to pass the same object implementing LocationListener that you requested location updates for to the locationManager.removeUpdates() method.

So in unless this and gpsl are one and the same, you should call:

locationManager.removeUpdates(gpsl);

Answer 2

If you are using maps, you have to do:

locationManager.removeUpdates(locationListener);

mMap.setMylocationEnabled(false);
