Best way to get user GPS location in background in Android [duplicate]

None of the rest of the answers use:

com.google.android.gms.location.FusedLocationProviderClient

Which is the Fused Location Provider and the main entry point for interacting with the fused location provider by Google, and it is very hard to find a good example. This was released mid 2017 by Google.

Google Play services location APIs are preferred over the Android framework location APIs (android.location)

If you are currently using the Android framework location APIs, you are strongly encouraged to switch to the Google Play services location APIs as soon as possible.

For you to use the Google Location API, first add this to your build.gradle

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:11.0.0'

Then you can use this class Wherebouts.java:

import android.location.Location;import android.os.Looper;import android.util.Log;import com.google.android.gms.location.FusedLocationProviderClient;import com.google.android.gms.location.LocationCallback;import com.google.android.gms.location.LocationRequest;import com.google.android.gms.location.LocationResult;import com.google.android.gms.location.LocationServices;import com.google.android.gms.location.LocationSettingsRequest;/** * Uses Google Play API for obtaining device locations * Created by alejandro.tkachuk  * alejandro@calculistik.com * www.calculistik.com Mobile Development */public class Wherebouts {    private static final Wherebouts instance = new Wherebouts();    private static final String TAG = Wherebouts.class.getSimpleName();    private FusedLocationProviderClient mFusedLocationClient;    private LocationCallback locationCallback;    private LocationRequest locationRequest;    private LocationSettingsRequest locationSettingsRequest;    private Workable<GPSPoint> workable;    private static final long UPDATE_INTERVAL_IN_MILLISECONDS = 1000;    private static final long FASTEST_UPDATE_INTERVAL_IN_MILLISECONDS = 1000;    private Wherebouts() {        this.locationRequest = new LocationRequest();        this.locationRequest.setInterval(UPDATE_INTERVAL_IN_MILLISECONDS);        this.locationRequest.setFastestInterval(FASTEST_UPDATE_INTERVAL_IN_MILLISECONDS);        this.locationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);        LocationSettingsRequest.Builder builder = new LocationSettingsRequest.Builder();        builder.addLocationRequest(this.locationRequest);        this.locationSettingsRequest = builder.build();        this.locationCallback = new LocationCallback() {            @Override            public void onLocationResult(LocationResult locationResult) {                super.onLocationResult(locationResult); // why? this. is. retarded. Android.                Location currentLocation = locationResult.getLastLocation();                GPSPoint gpsPoint = new GPSPoint(currentLocation.getLatitude(), currentLocation.getLongitude());                Log.i(TAG, "Location Callback results: " + gpsPoint);                if (null != workable)                    workable.work(gpsPoint);            }        };        this.mFusedLocationClient = LocationServices.getFusedLocationProviderClient(MainApplication.getAppContext());        this.mFusedLocationClient.requestLocationUpdates(this.locationRequest,                this.locationCallback, Looper.myLooper());    }    public static Wherebouts instance() {        return instance;    }    public void onChange(Workable<GPSPoint> workable) {        this.workable = workable;    }    public LocationSettingsRequest getLocationSettingsRequest() {        return this.locationSettingsRequest;    }    public void stop() {        Log.i(TAG, "stop() Stopping location tracking");        this.mFusedLocationClient.removeLocationUpdates(this.locationCallback);    }}

From your Activity, you can use it like this, by passing a Workable object. A Workable object is nothing more than a custom Callback alike object.

 Wherebouts.instance().onChange(workable);

By using a callback like Workable, you will write UI related code in your Activity and leave the hustle of working with GPS to a helper class, like Wherebouts.

    new Workable<GPSPoint>() {        @Override        public void work(GPSPoint gpsPoint) {            // draw something in the UI with this new data        }    };

Of course you would need to ask for the corresponding permissions to the Android OS for your App to use. You can read the following documentation for more info about that or do some research.
