I'd like to perform an action via passive location monitoring (i.e. the action is triggered with the new location when another application requests location). I believe this is possible via LocationManager.PASSIVE_PROVIDER.
Hi! Unfortunately that's an action, not a context, so I don't believe it does what I was requesting? I was looking to trigger an action based on when my location changes, which requires detecting the state change. (And of course I don't want to poll my location with that action every N seconds just to detect this; that would prevent my phone from sleeping properly.)
Oh, sorry, should've explained better. You can use the action like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjpbv365q2k
If you follow this you can then use the location in a profile condition.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the reply, but I see your video suggests polling every 5 minutes, which I already addressed above: it is not good for allowing the phone to sleep. There should be *nothing* getting triggered when there are no passive location requests. Furthermore, every 5-minute accuracy is too low as well. I want to get passive updates _whenever_ a location is requested -- for example, some applications (such as maps when driving, GPS tools, etc.) receive updates as frequently as *every < 10 seconds*, and I'm looking to receive *all* of those updates.
Oh, I see what you mean now. Sorry for misunderstanding before. Indeed that's not possible at the moment. Will have to add, thanks!
Thank you!!
Hi! You can do this already with the Get Location v2 action :) Hope this helps!
