UPDATED ON THE NUMBER
I wrote an application that records the position of users, current speed, average speed and maximum speed. I would like to know how to make an application do the following:
- prohibit turning off the screen while it opens on the screen
- if the user opens another application or returns to the main screen, receives a call, etc., the application should continue to collect data (or it would be better to just write all the data to the database each time the location is updated, and maybe there is button to indicate when to start and stop data collection?)
here is the code i wrote. (feel free to use it if you want, and if you have any recommendations on how I can improve it, I am very open to constructive criticism: D)
