we want to update latitude every x minutes or every y "distance" while collecting the whole data. So far so good but it means that we will need to "correct" the data afterward.

The state 'not logged in' on the main activity is confusing: not logged in should only be used if there is no Auth token available at all.
Once there is one there is no need to tell 'not logged in' but we should rather take the optimistic approaches and only report an error if the service is not able to call the api

I keep my phone without data connection during night. In the morning when I activate data connection, altitude doesn't update until I launch the app once.

-When connecting to a WiFi, automatically update location (selectable? to force update even if the time interval isn't met?) and do not update location again until WiFi is disconnected

Since I'm not a coder, I cannot tell how much this would save battery, but from a logical viewpoint, if you are connected to the same WiFi for say, 10 hours, your location should not be updated before disconnecting since for that 10 hours your location hasn't changed.,

Edit:

Your idea about wifi is interesting. Even if I can tell if the behavior will impact even more positively on battery I'm ready to give it a try. In order to reach the best battery win I would have to turn off the location listener while on wifi once the last position has been sent but then would have the problem of now knowing when the phone leaves the wifi range. There are some tricky situations to consider here:

• wifi is turned off
• the phone goes to sleep and the wifi policy is set to turn wifi off when screen is off
• you travel but use a portable wifi hotspot ;-)

But anyway I take this up as a feature request and as I have another one related to wifi I may combine them into one iteration.

Possible bug...

On ICS.. If I have notification icon turned on, but geodata turned off, then the notification icon doesn't appear.

With both settings on, the icon appears correctly, but not when geodata is off.

The service is definitely still running: Latitude is still being updated.

I'm on THS ICS, b17.

Thanks much.

ow do I know if I'm log on or log off to the app? Everytime I press log on, it always takes me to Google authorization page even though I just did that 1 minute ago. (feature suggestion: maybe you could explicitly state in the blank area of the app if the service is being active) though I just did that 1 minute ago. (feature suggestion: maybe you could explicitly state in the blank area of the app if the service is being active)

Reported by MichunB@xda
there are two setings interval/accuracy because the first one controls the location manager of the service updating latitude the other one controling the location manager used for locating you on the map.
I decided to split those because you may have higher requirements while using the map. The location manager of the map is of course only active when the map is open.

!!! I consider drain when checking this, I suppose another call to maps will be required to go from Lat, long to city. Use with care

Since Latitude uses wifi location (if enabled) a lot, it would be great to force altitude update on wifi connect.

You'll want to use the ConnectivityManager. To check if WiFi specifically is enabled, do:

ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
if( ! cm.getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI).isConnectedOrConnecting() ) {
    // do your stuff 
}

To make sure that a connection can be established, try connecting to a site. Here's an example:

    URL url = new URL( websiteAddress );
    HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
    connection.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "yourAgent");
    connection.setRequestProperty("Connection", "close");
    connection.setConnectTimeout(1000);
    connection.connect();

    if (connection.getResponseCode() == 200) {
        return true;
    }

for some reason (ideas welcome) I'm getting a notification about a 401 failed login attempt like every other day or so. Without me doing anything it starts working again afterwards. I'd suggest adding a "only notify about failed login attempts after X succeeding login attempts have failed" option so I can set it to only notify me after 3 or 5 failed attempts cause then something is likely really wrong.

edit: when i just disabled wifi the moment altitude tried to update i got a notification about the host being unavailable. please include that kind of error messages in such a setting. I don't care whether 1 or 2 updates fail, Latitude is not that important. I want to know when there's something really wrong (e.g. I've been logged out for some reason) but not about every little quirks

Either there is something wrong in the code or the service is crashing: investigate
