Get current lat long android

Question

I want to get the Location object on Button press. I know the LocationListener callbacks, however they execute only after a particular time or distance. I want to get Location instantaneously. Are there any methods to do so.

Answer 1

You are welcome to call getLastKnownLocation() on LocationManager to retrieve the last known location for your requested location provider. However:

• that location may be old
• that location may be null

Hence, your code will need to be able to cope with both of those scenarios.
