Task 4 of 4 "Update MainActivity's 'latitude' and longitude' ... I'm pretty sure it needs to be in the "onClick" method, but for the life of me, I can't figure out how. (I blame being out in the sun all day) :)
public class GeolocationService extends Service {
private IBinder binder = new LocalBinder();
public class LocalBinder extends Binder {
public GeolocationService getService() {
return GeolocationService.this;
}
}
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return binder;
}
//Client methods
public int getLatitude() { return getLat(); }
public int getLongitude() { return getLng(); }
}
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
int latitude;
int longitude;
boolean isBound;
Button updateLocationButton;
private GeolocationService mGeolocationService;
ServiceConnection serviceConnection = new ServiceConnection(){
public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName name, IBinder binder){
isBound = true;
GeolocationService.LocalBinder localBinder = (GeolocationService.LocalBinder) binder;
mGeolocationService = localBinder.getService();
}
public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName name){
isBound = false;
}
};
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
updateLocationButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.update_button);
updateLocationButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v){
}
});
}
@Override
public void onStart() {
Intent i = new Intent(this, GeolocationService.class);
bindService(i, serviceConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
}
@Override
public void onStop() {
if (isBound) {
unbindService(serviceConnection);
isBound = false;
}
}
}

Treehouse TeacherI did it! I feel a little like the kid in Willy Wonka who found the golden ticket Here you go!
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
updateLocationButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.update_button);
updateLocationButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v){
if (isBound) {
latitude = mGeolocationService.getLatitude();
longitude = mGeolocationService.getLongitude();
}
}
});
}
Hope this helps!

Treehouse Moderator 145,860 PointsThank you so much... I was missing the
if (isbound)
I knew it was something small! You rock!
