Question

I am building an project which tracks vehicle location on android google maps. Vehicle will be using SIM 808 module to track the location and send it to server, but what to do next and how to do this task ?

Answer 1

You have the option to implement one of the 2 methods :

• Push Notifications with Broadcast receivers : Your server gets the current location and sends it to your phone through FCM (Firebase Cloud messaging), you're listening on your app for push notifications with the BroadCast Receiver and once a new location comes, you update the location marker on your map.
• Long polling : which is simply a periodic HTTP request that you fire to your backend location service (every 10 seconds for example) and after each call you update the location marker on the map.
