How to get gps latitude and longitude of a device?

Someone please suggest a code to get gps location(latitude and longitude) of a android device in android. I tried so many examples but in
Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(bestProvider);
getting location=null.
I am posting my code below.
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
Geocoder geocoder;
String bestProvider;
List<Address> user = null;
double lat,lng;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
LocationManager lm = (LocationManager) this.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
bestProvider = lm.getBestProvider(criteria, false);
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// TODO: Consider calling
// ActivityCompat#requestPermissions
// here to request the missing permissions, and then overriding
// public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions,
// int[] grantResults)
// to handle the case where the user grants the permission. See the documentation
// for ActivityCompat#requestPermissions for more details.
return;
}
Location location = lm.getLastKnownLocation(bestProvider);
if (location == null)
{
Toast.makeText(this,"Location Not found",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
else{
geocoder = new Geocoder(this);
try
{
user = geocoder.getFromLocation(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude(), 1);
lat=(double)user.get(0).getLatitude();
lng=(double)user.get(0).getLongitude();
System.out.println(" DDD lat: " +lat+", longitude: "+lng);
}catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}

you can try with the LocationManager.
LocationManager lm = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
Location location = lm.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
double longitude = location.getLongitude();
double latitude = location.getLatitude();
then you LocationListener which will give you asynchronous updates of your location.
private final LocationListener locationListener = new LocationListener() {
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
longitude = location.getLongitude();
latitude = location.getLatitude();
}
}
lm.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 2000, 10, locationListener);
also add permissions into your manifest file:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.location.gps" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
I hope this will help you.

Getting Latitude and longitude with GPS as 0,0

I am trying to get location in app and when i turn GPS on for the very first time.
It shows latitude and longitude 0,0. but when i check again it shows correctly.
I am sharing my code with you please help me to find out where is the problem.
this is my code for GPS tracker.
I have tried many solutions but did not get anything working.
What is the reason of getting o first time???

Many GPS receivers will return 0 when queried for latitude or longitude before they have a fix, it's nothing to do with your code.
See this question:
GPS Intermediate Driver Constantly Return 0 0 LAT LNG

Sorry for late reply. All are fine with your code.
just do one small change as below:
set MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES = 0
and
set MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES = 0

How I display my current location in google map? [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
How can I show current location on a Google Map on Android Marshmallow?
(3 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
I wants to display my location in android device in google may using marker. I have written the following code. But there has no marker in the map. I also implement the LocationListener. But no marker. I am thankful to you if you send some code or give some suggestion.
I am also checking the isProviderAvailable and provider. They are not coming properly. isProviderAvailable returns false. Is I have to change some facility on my device? or any other problem. Please share your thought. I am waiting.

get latlng and put it in the code that i wrote bellow and put it on your OnMapReadyCallback
// Add a marker in Sydney, Australia,
// and move the map's camera to the same location.
LatLng sydney = new LatLng(-33.852, 151.211);
googleMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(sydney)
.title("Marker in Sydney"));
googleMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(sydney));
if you have any other questions im there

You can retrieve onLocationChanged Listener and Add maker init

Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(bestProvider);

Implement your onLocationChanged like this
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
if (location != null) {
LatLng latLng = new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());
mMap.clear();
Marker marker = mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(latLng));
marker.showInfoWindow();
mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(latLng, 13));
} else {
Toast.makeText(getContext(), "Location not found", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}

LocationManager giving worng location in android version above 4.4

I have implemented GPSTracker class for getting current latitude and longitude. It is giving results for android version 4.4 and below. But when I installed the same on higher version it is giving me values (0,0). Can any one tell me where I am going wrong.
My Gpstracker class :-
public Location getLocation() {
try {
locationManager = (LocationManager) mContext
.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
// getting GPS status
isGPSEnabled = locationManager
.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
// getting network status
isNetworkEnabled = locationManager
.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
if (!isGPSEnabled && !isNetworkEnabled) {
// no network provider is enabled
} else {
this.canGetLocation = true;
// First get location from Network Provider
if (isNetworkEnabled) {
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(
LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER,
MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES,
MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES, (LocationListener) this);
Log.d("Network", "Network");
if (locationManager != null) {
location = locationManager
.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
if (location != null) {
latitude = location.getLatitude();
longitude = location.getLongitude();
}
}
}
// if GPS Enabled get lat/long using GPS Services
if (isGPSEnabled) {
if (location == null) {
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(
LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,
MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES,
MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES, (LocationListener) this);
Log.d("GPS Enabled", "GPS Enabled");
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;
}
My Manifest for permission is :-
`
<permission
android:name="goyal.andorid.varun.jaintemplelocator.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"
android:protectionLevel="signature" />
<uses-permission android:name="goyal.andorid.varun.jaintemplelocator.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" />
<!-- This app has permission to register and receive dataf message. -->
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<!-- Network State Permissions -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
Please help me out

Because you don't request permissions. According to documentation:
Beginning in Android 6.0 (API level 23), users grant permissions to apps while the app is running, not when they install the app.
android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION is danger permission so you nedd to request it. There is official manual.

You can use GoogleApiClient's fused location provider for fetching location. You need to add a dependency in your gradle file. i.e
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:9.6.1'
Add fine_location permission needed in manifest
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
It is a Dangerous Permission you need to ask permission at runtime like this.

Android Google Maps onLocationChanged not called

I know there are many threads about this problem but nothing gives me good answer. Function onLocationChanged seams to be never called.
#Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
mMap = googleMap;
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED &&
ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
return;
}
mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
String provider = locationManager.getBestProvider(criteria, true);
LocationListener locationListener = new LocationListener() {
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "New Location", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
LatLng latLng = new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());
mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(latLng));
mMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(20));
mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(latLng).title("Jesteś tutaj!"));
}
/* ... */
};
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 3000, 2, locationListener);
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 3000, 2, locationListener);
}
What i did wrong?

First of all you need to run your app in a real device rather then virtual device and by keeping GPS on from settings. Then you can use the following methods that did the work for me.
private void createMap()
{
TotalDistance.setText("Distance:");
SupportMapFragment supportMapFragment=(SupportMapFragment)getChildFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map);
//SupportMapFragment fm = (SupportMapFragment) getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map);
googleMap=supportMapFragment.getMap();
/* googleMap = ((SupportMapFragment) MainActivity.fragmentManager
.findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();*/
locationManager = (LocationManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
// Creating a criteria object to retrieve provider
Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
// Getting the name of the best provider
provider = locationManager.getBestProvider(criteria, true);
// Getting Current Location
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(getActivity(), android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(getContext(), android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// TODO: Consider calling
// ActivityCompat#requestPermissions
// here to request the missing permissions, and then overriding
// public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions,
// int[] grantResults)
// to handle the case where the user grants the permission. See the documentation
// for ActivityCompat#requestPermissions for more details.
return;
}
location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.PASSIVE_PROVIDER);
googleMap.getUiSettings().setRotateGesturesEnabled(false);
marker = new MarkerOptions().position(new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude())).title(location.getLatitude() + " " + location.getLongitude());
googleMap.addMarker(marker);
CameraPosition cameraPosition = new CameraPosition.Builder().target(new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude())).zoom(15).build();
googleMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newCameraPosition(cameraPosition));
googleMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_TERRAIN);
origin_latLng = new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());
}
private void intializeMap(Context context) {
int status = GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(getActivity());
// Showing status
if (status != ConnectionResult.SUCCESS) { // Google Play Services are not available
int requestCode = 10;
Dialog dialog = GooglePlayServicesUtil.getErrorDialog(status, getActivity(), requestCode);
dialog.show();
} else { // Google Play Services are available
// Getting reference to the SupportMapFragment of activity_main.xml
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(getActivity(), android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(getActivity(), android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// TODO: Consider calling
// ActivityCompat#requestPermissions
// here to request the missing permissions, and then overriding
// public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions,
// int[] grantResults)
// to handle the case where the user grants the permission. See the documentation
// for ActivityCompat#requestPermissions for more details.
return;
}
googleMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
googleMap.clear();
if (location != null) {
onLocationChanged(location);
}
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(provider, 2000, 1, YOUR ACTIVITY REFERENCE);
googleMap.stopAnimation();
}
}
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
// Getting latitude of the current location
double latitude = location.getLatitude();
double longitude = location.getLongitude();
finalLatlang=new LatLng(latitude,longitude);
// userlatLang.add(finalLatlang);
CameraPosition cameraPosition = new CameraPosition.Builder().target(finalLatlang).zoom(15).build();
googleMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newCameraPosition(cameraPosition));
Log.d("Latitude", " " + latitude);
Log.d("Longitude", " " + longitude);
// Showing the current location in Google Map
googleMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(finalLatlang));
if(flag==1) {
// Zoom in the Google Map
googleMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(15));
flag++;
}
}
Also pls implements LocationListener into your Activity or Fragment

Criteria crit = new Criteria();
crit.setAccuracy(Criteria.ACCURACY_FINE);
String best = mgr.getBestProvider(crit, false);
the above is to get the best location provider.
You may give your locationManager request in onResume();
#Override public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(, 10000, 1, locationListener);}
Hope this may help you.
