I'm using this code to get the geo-position of the user
public Location getLocation() {
Location location = null;
double lat;
double lng;
try {
LocationManager mLocationManager = (LocationManager) con.getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
// getting GPS status
boolean isGPSEnabled = mLocationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
// getting network status
boolean isNetworkEnabled = mLocationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
if (!isGPSEnabled && !isNetworkEnabled) {
Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS);
startActivity(intent);
} else {
// First get location from Network Provider
if (isNetworkEnabled) {
mLocationManager.requestLocationUpdates( LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 0, 0, this);
Log.d("Network", "Network");
if (mLocationManager != null) {
location = mLocationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
if (location != null) {
lat = location.getLatitude();
lng = location.getLongitude();
System.out.println(lat);
}
}
}
//get the location by gps
if (isGPSEnabled) {
mLocationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,0,0, this);
Log.d("GPS Enabled", "GPS Enabled");
if (mLocationManager != null) {
location = mLocationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
if (location != null) {
lat = location.getLatitude();
lng = location.getLongitude();
System.out.println(lat);
}
}
}
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return location;
}
An this is what I get:
Network 39.68967 Gps Enabled (nothing)
I can't understand the reason why Gps is enabled and I still can't get the coordinates from the gps provider
I just finished creating a sample project for understanding the usage of Location Services. I am just posting my code, feel free to use it for your need and understanding the working of Location Services.
public class DSLVFragmentClicks extends Activity implements LocationListener {
