public class GpsLocation extends AppCompatActivity {
    Context context;
    private LocationManager locationManager;
    private LocationListener listener;


    void findloc(){
        locationManager = (LocationManager)getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);

        listener = new LocationListener() {
            @Override

            }

            @Override

            }

            @Override

                Intent i = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS);
                startActivity(i);
            }
        };

        configure_button();
    }
    @Override

        switch (requestCode){
            case 10:
                configure_button();
                break;
            default:
                break;
        }
    }

    void configure_button(){
        // first check for permissions
        if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
                requestPermissions(new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION,Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION,Manifest.permission.INTERNET}
                        ,10);
            }
            return;
        }

        locationManager.requestLocationUpdates("gps", 500, 0, listener);
        // locationManager.requestSingleUpdate(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,listener,null);
        Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
       Toast.makeText(context,"location finded",Toast.LENGTH_LONG ).show();
        locationManager.removeUpdates(listener);
        // Location lastKnownLocation = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
    }
}

I'm calling findloc method from onCreate method as

s = new GpsLocation();
s.findloc();

every time i call this function it crashed but it is working well when it is not placed in seprate class. i have added every permission and it is working pretty good when it is under onCreate method can anybody tell me why it is abruptly crashing.

Answer 1

Try to use.

locationManager = (LocationManager)getApplicationContext().getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);

instead

 locationManager = (LocationManager)getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
