    Thank u! I´ve have done that. I´ve made a service in Android studio to track the GPS location.

    The problem is that i want to send to my backend in Gamesparks the (X,Y) coordinates.
    I´ve tried to integrate Gamesparks Android Studio SDK in my plugin and that creates an extra activity and my app gets black (empty Activity).

    I know it is a little bit complicated.. .but its is any way to send an gameobject of my Unity project to the plugin and call the method that i want inside the service?

    Thank u so much.

    If you want to have connection to a C# script from within Java, you have the following options:
    - UnitySendMessage()
    - Implementing an AndroidJavaProxy (the way to implement an Java interface in C#, and have C# methods called as callbacks from Java)
