Android: Get the GPS location with timeout

Android 要取得目前的位置, 除了在設定裡手動啟動 GPS定位外, 還要註冊 LocationListener 使得在位置更新能觸發 method: onLocationChanged().

GPS如果在室內收不到訊號時. 就不會觸發onLocationChanged(), 很多時候我們只要抓目前的位置去作後續的處理. 所以需要 timeout 機制以避免程式無限制的等下去. 因為gps持續運作會很耗電力.

但android 目前沒有timout的機制. 以下是一段加入timeout機制的例子. 其中呼叫 initGPS() 後程式同時啟動 GPS 與 network 兩種方式定位. 在timeout 時間內兩種定位都取得位置後程式回傳最優位置. 如果gps在時間內先取得定位 程式直接回傳最優位置. 如果timeout時間到還沒取得定位. 程式回傳 lastlocation.

直接copy貼上程式後面. 然後修改註記 '***********************'的地方就可以用了.
