Kristopher,
Sorry but I don't know what you mean by "useful for scheduling within your
app". I'm using the locationlistener to trigger when the phone is moved.
(I'm targeting Gingerbread)
Are you saying that even with jellybean it doesn't work right?
Would I be better off explicitly getting a new Location on a method
dependent on a timer?
Thanks, Gary
