Check if an instance of CLLocationManager isUpdatingLocation

Question

I need to know if an instance of CLLocationManager (in this case called gps) is updating location calling the proper method

- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation

In my case the complete method is:

- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation
{
    //NSLog(@"didUpdateToLocation: %@", newLocation);
    currentLocation = newLocation;

    if (currentLocation != nil) {
        longitude.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%.3f", currentLocation.coordinate.longitude];
        latitude.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%.3f", currentLocation.coordinate.latitude];
    }

    address.text = NULL;
    [activityIndicator setHidden:NO];
    [activityIndicator startAnimating];
    NSLog(@"Resolving the Address");
    [geocoder reverseGeocodeLocation:currentLocation completionHandler:^(NSArray *placemarks, NSError *error) {
        //NSLog(@"Found placemarks: %@, error: %@", placemarks, error);
        if (error == nil && [placemarks count] > 0) {
            placemark = [placemarks lastObject];
            [address sizeToFit];
            address.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@, %@\n%@ %@\n%@",
                            [self sanitizedDescription:placemark.thoroughfare],
                            [self sanitizedDescription:placemark.subThoroughfare],
                            [self sanitizedDescription:placemark.postalCode],
                            [self sanitizedDescription:placemark.locality],
                            [self sanitizedDescription:placemark.country]];


            if (address.text != NULL)
            {
                gpsTimer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:10
                                                            target:gps
                                                          selector:@selector(startUpdatingLocation)
                                                          userInfo:nil
                                                           repeats:NO];
                [address sizeToFit];
                [gps stopUpdatingLocation];
            }
        } else {
            NSLog(@"%@", error.debugDescription);
        }
    } ];

}

How can I do?

Thanks in advance :)

subclass your CLLocationManager and add a BOOL that is set to yes when your delegate method gets called...

You can also simply tell your location manager to stop within the delegate method
