In my android app I need to get current GPS location of the user at the start of the application only if location has change from the previous location. But the problem is when I inside the application if location change (ie If user was traveling while using the app) app is starting from the beginning.
I need to stop location listener after getting user current location. removeUpdates method didn't work for me.
Please help me on this issue. thanks in advance !

Try This
locationManager = activity!!.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE) as LocationManager
locationListener = object : LocationListener {
override fun onLocationChanged(location: Location) {
if (location != null) {
Log.e(
"LOCATION",
"Latitude " + location.latitude.toString() + " | Longitude :" + location.longitude.toString()
)
if (locationListener != null)
locationManager!!.removeUpdates(locationListener!!)
}
//Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),location.toString(),Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
override fun onStatusChanged(provider: String, status: Int, extras: Bundle) {
}
override fun onProviderEnabled(provider: String) {
}
override fun onProviderDisabled(provider: String) {
}
}

locationManager.requestSingleUpdate(String provider, LocationListener listener, Looper looper);
If you only need to get the current location once, try this method instead using
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(String provider, long minTimeMs, float minDistanceM, LocationListener listener)
and stop the update using locationManager.removeUpdates(LocationListener listener)
hope this works and help others with same problem.

You can stop continuous location updating by calling method locationManager.removeUpdates(locationListener)
.
Here is an example :
LocationManager locationManager;
LocationListener locationListener;
// for location updates
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 0, 0, locationListener);
// stop location updating
locationManager.removeUpdates(locationListener);

You can stop the LocationListener by making its object to null after stoping LocationListener locationManager.removeUpdates(mLocListener);
, that is mLocListener = null;
when you want it to stop fetching the Latitudes and Longitudes.

mLocManager.removeUpdates(locationListenerObject);
mLocManager = null;
Call this inside your onLocationChange
Method when lat and long has been captured by the listener.
Hope I helped..
