Upon activity launch, the GPS is enabled and grabs the user latitude, longitude and report it to parse as a Geopoint. The issue is that the GPS continuously runs in the background and continuously report to Parse location. I would only want the GPS to grab the location information once and then stops immediately, as by myself I have notice that I have reached around 20k request with Parse on a day and I think its because it runs continuously in the background.
Below is the activity code:
public class MoodActivity extends Activity {

If you need any clarification, let me know. Thanks in advance.
Update I've tried working with Single update instead, but it does not seem to be working.
Under onCreate
LocationManager mlocManager = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
LocationListener mlocListener = new MyLocationListener();
mlocManager.requestSingleUpdate(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, mlocListener, Looper.myLooper());
and
public class MyLocationListener implements LocationListener {
@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location loc) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
double lati = loc.getLatitude();
double longi = loc.getLongitude();
ParseUser currentUser = ParseUser.getCurrentUser();
currentUser.saveInBackground();
ParseGeoPoint point = new ParseGeoPoint(lati, longi);
currentUser.put("location", point);
currentUser.saveInBackground(new SaveCallback() {
@Override
public void done(ParseException e) {
setProgressBarIndeterminateVisibility(false);
if (e == null) {
// Success!
} else {
}
}
});
}
@Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Gps Disabled",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
@Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Gps Enabled",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
@Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
}
}
