How to avoid frequent location updates?

Question

I am new to android. I want to get GPS locations at an interval of 3 minutes, but I'm getting location updates on every second.

How can I avoid this?

Please suggest something. I'm using the following code:

captureFrequencey=3*60*1000;    
LocationMngr.requestLocationUpdates(
    LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, captureFrequencey, 0, this);

Answer 1

LocationMngr.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, captureFrequencey, 0, this);

Thats because you set the minimum distance to 0. Change it to 100 meters and check!

LocationMngr.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, captureFrequencey, 100, this);

Refer to the documentation.
