I've got my SMS app working and just want to send a location. Meaning once I type the message and input the phone number...I click the button and with that the location also is sent as a geocode (I want where the recipient can open the link on their phone through maps)...
Any ideas how to do that? Ps. I know how to get location and put it in a textview but I am not looking for that...Just as I click the button to send the SMS and the location is taken from the location manager and sent along with the message?

I think you need to first set up the LocationManager, then get the longitude and latitude from getLastKnownLocation instead of waiting for the call back. After than you can add the location url to message just like this:
LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 2000, 10, new LocationListener() {
@Override
public void onStatusChanged(String s, int i, Bundle bundle) {}
@Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String s) {}
@Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String s) {}
@Override
public void onLocationChanged(final Location location) {}
});
Location myLocation = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.PASSIVE_PROVIDER);
double longitude = myLocation.getLongitude();
double latitude = myLocation.getLatitude();
message+="https://www.google.co.id/maps/@"+latitude+","+longitude;
=-=- edit -=-=
And you need to ask for permission for accessing user's location in the manifest file like:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
Hope this help
