No Location Provider Found in Lollipop and Marshmallow

I working with a project to find the address using latitude and longitude. I got answer in Jellybean but when comes to Lollipop and Marshmallow it only showing latitude and longitude, not getting address. It shows location provider is not found. Is there any error in my code?
locationManager = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
mprovider = locationManager.getBestProvider(criteria, false);
if (mprovider != null && !mprovider.equals("")) {
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) !=
PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION)
!= PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
return;
}
Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(mprovider);
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(mprovider,5000, 0,this);
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0, this);
if (location != null)
onLocationChanged(location);
else
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "No Location Provider Found Check Your Code", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
TextView longitude = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView);
TextView latitude = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
longitude.setText("Current Longitude:" + location.getLongitude());
latitude.setText("Current Latitude:" + location.getLatitude());
Geocoder geo = new Geocoder(getApplicationContext(), Locale.getDefault());
// String mylocation;
try {
List < Address > addresses = geo.getFromLocation(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude(), 1);
if (addresses != null && addresses.size() > 0) {
String address = addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(0); // If any additional address line present than only, check with max available address lines by getMaxAddressLineIndex()
address1.setText(address);
String city = addresses.get(0).getLocality();
textViewCity.setText(city);
String state = addresses.get(0).getAdminArea();
textViewState.setText(state);
String country = addresses.get(0).getCountryName();
textViewCountry.setText(country);
String postalCode = addresses.get(0).getPostalCode();
textViewPostal.setText(postalCode);
String knownName = addresses.get(0).getFeatureName();
System.out.println("Address >> " + address + " " +city+ " \n" + state + " \n" + country+ "\n"+postalCode+ "\n"+knownName);
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

// consider returning Location instead of this dummy wrapper class
public static class GPSCoordinates {
public float longitude = -1;
public float latitude = -1;
public GPSCoordinates(float theLatitude, float theLongitude) {
longitude = theLongitude;
latitude = theLatitude;
}
public GPSCoordinates(double theLatitude, double theLongitude) {
longitude = (float) theLongitude;
latitude = (float) theLatitude;
}
}
}
and use like this:
SingleShotLocationProvider.requestSingleUpdate(getActivity(),
new SingleShotLocationProvider.LocationCallback() {
#Override
public void onNewLocationAvailable(SingleShotLocationProvider.GPSCoordinates location) {
lat = location.latitude;
lag = location.longitude;
}
});
here you can get lat - lag if your device location is enable. so also check that is enable or not.
if (!manager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER)) {
showEnableLocationDialog();
} else {
SingleShotLocationProvider.requestSingleUpdate(getActivity(),
new SingleShotLocationProvider.LocationCallback() {
#Override
public void onNewLocationAvailable(SingleShotLocationProvider.GPSCoordinates location) {
lat = location.latitude;
lag = location.longitude;
}
});
}
public void showEnableLocationDialog() {
final android.app.AlertDialog.Builder builderDialog = new android.app.AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity());
builderDialog.setTitle("Enable Location");
builderDialog.setMessage("Please enable location for near by search");
builderDialog.setPositiveButton("Enable",
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
Intent myIntent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS);
startActivity(myIntent);
}
});
builderDialog.setNegativeButton("No",
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
dialog.dismiss();
//fetchImages();
}
});
android.app.AlertDialog alert = builderDialog.create();
alert.show();
}
and i hope you are asking run-time permission for location first. otherwise you will never get location.

}

there are distanceTo method to find distance between loction.below is example of getting distnce between to location over km; after getting specified distance put a req to send position to server;
**location.distanceTo(location) / km)**

You can use method requestLocationUpdates with LocationManager. It will reduce your work. Here is the code.
//it will call every 1000 milisec and on more than 10m distance
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 1000, 10, new android.location.LocationListener() {
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
//Your API calls here

#Override
public void onStatusChanged(String s, int i, Bundle bundle) {

How to get location either from GPS or NETWORK providers in android

In my android app I'm retrieving user location for every 3 minutes and somehow I'm doing it in the following way.problems so far I have faced are
Whenever I'm getting location updates I'm getting multiple values at same time
Sometimes I'm getting both GPS and NETWORK provider values at a time.
I need only one value and also it should be either GPS or NETWORK Provider value,How to achieve this.
Here is my Service
public class MyService extends Service {
private static final String TAG = "TESTGPS";

longi = location.getLongitude();
Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(getApplicationContext(), Locale.getDefault());
try {
List<Address> addressList = geocoder.getFromLocation(
lati, longi, 1);
if (addressList != null && addressList.size() > 0) {

loc_name = addressList.get(0).getAddressLine(1);
}
AsyncHttpClient client = new AsyncHttpClient();

You should first check before getting location from both. First check if location is available through gps and if not then use network to get location.
Here is a sample class which have methods for checking location.
public class GPSTracker extends Service implements LocationListener {
private final Context context;
boolean isGPSEnabled = false;
boolean isNetworkEnabled = false;
public boolean canGetLocation = false;
Location location;
double latitude;
double longitude;
private static final long MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES = 10;
private static final long MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES = 1000 * 60 * 1;
protected LocationManager locationManager;
public GPSTracker(Context context) {
this.context = context;
getLocation();
}
public Location getLocation() {
try {
locationManager = (LocationManager) context.getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
isGPSEnabled = locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
isNetworkEnabled = locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
if(!isGPSEnabled && !isNetworkEnabled) {
} else {
this.canGetLocation = true;
if (isNetworkEnabled) {
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(
LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER,
MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES,
MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES, this);
if (locationManager != null) {
location = locationManager
.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
if (location != null) {
latitude = location.getLatitude();
longitude = location.getLongitude();
}
}
}
if(isGPSEnabled) {
if(location == null) {
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(
LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,
MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES,
MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES, this);
if(locationManager != null) {
location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
if(location != null) {
latitude = location.getLatitude();
longitude = location.getLongitude();
}
}
}
}
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return location;
}
public void stopUsingGPS() {
if(locationManager != null) {
locationManager.removeUpdates(GPSTracker.this);
}
}
public double getLatitude() {
if(location != null) {
latitude = location.getLatitude();
}
return latitude;
}
public double getLongitude() {
if(location != null) {
longitude = location.getLongitude();
}
return longitude;
}

return this.canGetLocation;
}

#Override

}
}

You should use Criteria to request location update instead of using Provider:
Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
criteria.setAccuracy(Criteria.ACCURACY_COARSE);
locationManager.requestSingleUpdate(criteria, listener, null);
That way you can use only one listener and the location value can be from either GPS or NETWORK provider.

how to retrieve user selection from settings in the device

my application is using GPS services now i in case the GPS is off the user have the option to navigate to the device settings and set the GPS on.
now i would like to handle the user selection,
in case the user turn on the GPS the app should run again the getLocation function other wise do nothing.
but i do not know how can i handle the result of the new activity because i run it from non activity class. the relevant method is LocationAlertDialog
this is my class code:
public class GPSportLocationManager {
private boolean gpsEnabled,networkEnabled,isLocationUpdating,tryLocating = true;
private LocationManager locationManager;
private Location currentLoc=null;
private Context context;
private OnLocationFoundListener listener;

You should register a listener for location updates - see requestLocationUpdates() method.
Also add ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission to your Manifest.

hey follows few steps to get proper and accurate current location.
This way provided you current location both by interent as well as gps.
Step 1.
Put this class in your code.
GetCurLocation.java
public class GetCurLocation implements LocationListener,
GooglePlayServicesClient.ConnectionCallbacks,
GooglePlayServicesClient.OnConnectionFailedListener {
public static LocationClient mLocationClient;
LocationRequest mLocationRequest;
public static LocationManager locationmanager;
float accuracy = 500;
Activity context;
boolean getLocRegularly = false;
int interval = 1000;
float Radius;
GoogleMap gmap;
SetOnLocationFoundListner OLF;
public interface SetOnLocationFoundListner {
public void onLocationFound(Location location, boolean getLocRegularly,
GoogleMap gmap);
}
public void RemoveUpdates() {
try {
if (mLocationClient != null)
mLocationClient.removeLocationUpdates(this);
if (locationmanager != null)
locationmanager.removeUpdates(LocUpByLocMgr);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
/*
* radius should be in meters
*/
public GetCurLocation(Activity activity, int interval,
boolean getLocRegularly, GoogleMap gmap,
SetOnLocationFoundListner OLF, float Radius) {
this.OLF = OLF;
this.gmap = gmap;
this.context = activity;
this.getLocRegularly = getLocRegularly;
this.interval = interval;
this.Radius = Radius;
if (servicesConnected()) {
mLocationClient = new LocationClient(context, this, this);
mLocationClient.connect();
mLocationRequest = LocationRequest.create();
mLocationRequest.setInterval(interval);
mLocationRequest
.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
mLocationRequest.setFastestInterval(interval);
}
locationmanager = (LocationManager) context
.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
Criteria cr = new Criteria();
String provider = locationmanager.getBestProvider(cr, true);
locationmanager.requestLocationUpdates(provider, interval, 0,
LocUpByLocMgr);
}
private boolean servicesConnected() {
int resultCode = GooglePlayServicesUtil
.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(context);
if (ConnectionResult.SUCCESS == resultCode) {
return true;
} else {
Dialog dialog = GooglePlayServicesUtil.getErrorDialog(resultCode,
(Activity) context, 0);
if (dialog != null) {
}
return false;
}
}
#Override
public void onConnectionFailed(ConnectionResult result) {
}
#Override
public void onConnected(Bundle connectionHint) {
try {
Location location = mLocationClient.getLastLocation();
Log.e("testing",
location.getLatitude() + "," + location.getLongitude()
+ "," + location.getAccuracy());
if (location.getAccuracy() < Radius) {
OLF.onLocationFound(location, getLocRegularly, gmap);
locationmanager.removeUpdates(LocUpByLocMgr);
} else
mLocationClient.requestLocationUpdates(mLocationRequest, this);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
#Override
public void onDisconnected() {
}
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
try {
if (location.getAccuracy() > Radius) {
Log.e("testing LC", location.getAccuracy()
+ " Its Not Accurate");
} else {
Log.e("testing LC", location.getAccuracy() + " Its Accurate");
try {
OLF.onLocationFound(location, getLocRegularly, gmap);
if (!getLocRegularly) {
mLocationClient.removeLocationUpdates(this);
locationmanager.removeUpdates(LocUpByLocMgr);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
android.location.LocationListener LocUpByLocMgr = new android.location.LocationListener() {
#Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
#Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
#Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
try {
if (location.getAccuracy() > Radius) {
Log.e("testing LM", location.getAccuracy()
+ " Its Not Accurate");
} else {
Log.e("testing LM", location.getAccuracy()
+ " Its Accurate");
try {
OLF.onLocationFound(location, getLocRegularly, gmap);
if (!getLocRegularly) {
mLocationClient
.removeLocationUpdates(GetCurLocation.this);
locationmanager.removeUpdates(LocUpByLocMgr);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
};
}
Step 2.
implement setonlocationfoundlistener in class where you want current location,
and declear one more method in your oncreate and after you will get one location found method and it return location and you can get location.getlatitude and location.getlongitude.
GetCurLocation gcl = new GetCurLocation(activity, 0, true, null, this,
2000);
Step 3. make permission
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
thats all. thanks
