接收广播意图时出错{act = android.location.PROVIDERS_CHANGED flg = 0x10}

Question

I have broadcast like this:

private final BroadcastReceiver locationReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        if(intent.getAction().matches(LocationManager.PROVIDERS_CHANGED_ACTION)){
            //do stuff
            startLocationUpdates();
        }
    }
};

When the user turns on the gps, locationReceiver should executre the statLocationUpdates(). This is the code inside that method:

protected void startLocationUpdates() {
    try
    {
        LocationManager lm = (LocationManager) getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
        LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, mLocationRequest, this);
        if(!lm.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER))
        {
            buildAlertMessageNoGps();
        }
    }
    catch (SecurityException ex)
    {

    }

There is a problem with line LocationServices.FusedLocationApi... I cant figure out why. But this is what the log says:

I read another post but I didn't get how to solve it yet. Any idea?

UPDATE:

I actually create my googleapiclient in the onCreate method:

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_splash);
    myContext = this;
    myActivity = this;
    mVisible = true;


    if (mGoogleApiClient == null) {
        mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(myContext)
                .addConnectionCallbacks(ActivitySplash.this)
                .addOnConnectionFailedListener(ActivitySplash.this)
                .addApi(LocationServices.API)
                .build();
    }

Answer 1

It's on your exception:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: GoogleApiClient is not connected yet.

Please make sure that your mGoogleApiClient is connected before using it. You may use mGoogleApiClient.isConnected() to verify and mGoogleApiClient.connect() to connect it.

Edit:

Another thing you can do is to make sure you register the broadcast after the mGoogleApiClient has been connected. You may do so by placing it on the onConnected callback.

Answer 2

Try moving your googleApiClient creation to onCreate() . https://stackoverflow.com/a/29440779/4904995
