hi,

can i ask you to post an example of how you use this code?
can help many people, starting me

This is the Location Manager class:
I cut and paste the code for the class into my project and give it a relevant name like MyLocationManager.java


And then this is how I use it in my other Activity:

I declare a variable to hold the reference to the object above the onCreate in my Activity:

private MyLocationManager mlm;

I instanciate it like this from within the onCreate:

mlm = new MyLocationManager(getBaseContext());
mlm.startLocationReceiving();

Location location = mlm.getCurrentLocation();
String lat = Double.toString(location.getLatitude());
String lng = Double.toString(location.getLongitude());


That is about it...

Then I call the other methods from it to stop and start as needed.
