calculating time elasped on a particular location using Geolocation in Android

Android provides geolocation api for handling user location using gps,gsm or wifi. With this, one can determine the current location of user. My method is solely based on the inputs from the gps-receiver

Using Geolocation API, how can i determine for how long a user is on a particular geolocation ?

Try with a runnable like:

  private Handler handler = new Handler();

  public static final int timeElapsedCheckingDelay = 100; // in ms

  private float timeElapsed = 0;

  private Runnable timeElapsedChecker = new Runnable()
  {
      public void run()
      {
          if(gpsActual != gpsLast) //get the last position and check
          {
            //You can export wherever for example a toast
            timeElapsed = 0; 
            gpsActual = gpsLast;
          }
          else
            timeElapsed +=0.1;

          handler.removeCallbacks(timeElapsedChecker); // remove the old callback
          handler.postDelayed(timeElapsedChecker, timeElapsedCheckingDelay); 


      }
  };

This is more or less pseudocode hope that it helps you :)
