What are the things which reduces (Android) battery time?

In one of our application we need to use the GPS continuesly ,the purpose is to get the user driving speed. Recently I found that while using the GPS continuesly can drain the device battery. If the GPS device is not used, device battery will work for hours but if the GPS is used it reduces the battery life dramatically.

  1. I was wondering that "what are other things" which can reduce the battery time?

  2. How we can avoid them ?

  3. What are the best practices to use them?

Anything that is CPU intense. Each cpu cycle drains more battery life. So programs that run in the background, or anything that needs constant updating (GPS) are going to drain battery life.
