Answer 1

My listener implemention

public class GPSLocationListener extends Activity implements LocationListener {

    @Override
        public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
//code here
    }

    }

when i try to remove listener using follwing code compile time error.

locationManager.removeGpsStatusListener(GPSLocationListener )

Answer 2

You need to pass the same object implementing LocationListener that you requested location updates for to the locationManager.removeUpdates() method.

So in unless this and gpsl are one and the same, you should call:

locationManager.removeUpdates(gpsl);

Answer 3

You have to pass the instance to your GPSLocationListener go the removeGpsStatusListener method and not the class name.
