Re: [android-developers] show toast message while waiting for location

Have you looked at LogCat output?  Also, as Bob said, toast messages will display and then disappear.  It sounds like you want to be displaying a progress dialog instead of a toast.

Toasts automatically disappear after a short period of time.

The problem is that it doesn't work.

When I press now the button to start searching for signal it doesn't start at all.

Also, I am not sure if it will work like the way I want.

Show "Waiting" while searching for signal and then show the coordinates when it will find them.

Hello ,

I have an application where I use GPS and I want while GPS is looking for position to display a toast "Waiting for location" and when location is found show the location.

To start GPS I press a button:

case R.id.getlocation:

gps = new GPSTracker(ShowList.this);

// check if GPS enabled

if(gps.canGetLocation()){

latitude = gps.getLatitude();

longitude = gps.getLongitude();

Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Your Location is \nLat: " + latitude + "\nLong: " + longitude, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

}else{

//show dialog for enabling GPs

gps.showSettingsAlert();

}

Now, with the above it shows "latitude and latitude :0 " because I initialize them to 0. 

case R.id.getlocation:

gps = new GPSTracker(ShowList.this);

// check if GPS enabled

if(gps.canGetLocation()){

showToast();

}else{

   

gps.showSettingsAlert();

}

private void showToast() {

new Thread() {

public void run() {

try {

while (message) {

runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {

@Override

public void run() {

latitude = gps.getLatitude();

longitude = gps.getLongitude();

Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Waiting for location", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

//}else{

// gps.showSettingsAlert();

// }

}

});

Thread.sleep(1000);

message=false;

}

} catch (InterruptedException e) {

e.printStackTrace();

}

}

}.start();
