[Development] Does QGeoPositionInfoSource work from an Android service?

[Denis Shienkov]

Hi all,

I tried to make it work from the Android service:

#include <QAndroidService>

#include <QGeoPositionInfoSource>

#include <QLoggingCategory>

#include <QTimer>


Q_LOGGING_CATEGORY(APP, "bug.svc")


int main(int argc, char *argv[])

{

    QAndroidService::setAttribute(Qt::AA_EnableHighDpiScaling);

    QAndroidService app(argc, argv);


    qCDebug(APP) << "I'm service";


    const auto t = new QTimer(qApp);

    QCoreApplication::connect(t, &QTimer::timeout, []() {

        static int counter = 0;

        qCWarning(APP) << "CNT:" << counter;

        ++counter;

    });

    t->start(1000);


    const auto ps = QGeoPositionInfoSource::createDefaultSource(qApp);

    QCoreApplication::connect(ps, &QGeoPositionInfoSource::positionUpdated,

                              [=](const QGeoPositionInfo &update) {

        const auto coord = update.coordinate();

        qCDebug(APP) << "CRD:" << coord;

    });

    ps->setUpdateInterval(3000);

    ps->startUpdates();


    return app.exec();

}


but a service, seems, crashed at all (at least I did not see any debugging
log from the logcat).

But if I try to cemment out all code, related to the locations, and keep a
code with the timer,
then I see the counters output.

I tried it on Android x86 && Qt 5.11.2 && Android API 21.

E.g. from here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13345002/locationmanager-in-service
I see that it is possible to wotk with Android's LocationManager from the
service... BUT,
it does not work with QGeoPositionInfoSource!

BR,
Denis
