Latitude Longitude not appearing

I have the following function for retrieving latitude and longitude of the current location of the mobile.
private void getLocation() {
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(MainActivity.this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)
!= PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission
(MainActivity.this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(MainActivity.this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION}, REQUEST_LOCATION);
} else {
Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
if (location != null) {
double latti = location.getLatitude();
double longi = location.getLongitude();
lattitude = String.valueOf(latti);
longitude = String.valueOf(longi);
textView.setText("Your current location is" + "\n" + "Lattitude = " + lattitude
+ "\n" + "Longitude = " + longitude);
} else {
Toast.makeText(this, "Unable to Trace your location", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
}
This function is being called through a button. The problem is that by clicking the button the function doesn't seem to find the location and keep on toasting the same message which is toasted in the else statement. Can someone please point out that what is it that i am doing wrong.

First you need to define a LocationListener
private final LocationListener mLocationListener = new LocationListener() {
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(final Location location) {
//your code here to get lat lon from location
}
And in the activity
mLocationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
mLocationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, LOCATION_REFRESH_TIME,
LOCATION_REFRESH_DISTANCE, mLocationListener);

Why Android cannot get location sometime

I use these code to get location
But sometime I cannot get the location inside building, and that time the WIFI is connected, Location is enabled.
How can I make sure getLastKnownLocation will return location when it is able to get location?
LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager)this.getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
if (location == null)
{
location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
}
if(location==null)
{
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"no location", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return;
}

This works for me...
public void updateLoction(View view){
locationManger = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
Location location = locationManger.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
if (location != null) {
txtLat.setText("" + location.getLatitude());
txtLon.setText("" + location.getLongitude());
}
locationManger.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 0, 0, this);
}
private void setLocation(Location location) {
if (location != null) {
txtLat.setText("" + location.getLatitude());
txtLon.setText("" + location.getLongitude());
}
locationManger.removeUpdates(this);
}

Android Getting Current Location NULL with two different code snippets

I am stuck with location with GPS/Network Providers. I know it is a basic question for all androiders but i am having this problem since long time.
Actually I am taking current location and inserting in database by following method on click of Option Menu.
/****
* GPS Process First of all call listener of Location then checking for GPS_PROVIDER if not
* available then check for NETWORK_PROVIDER and if its also not available then pass
* 0.00,0.00 to longitude and latitude
*/
/** PROCESS for Get Longitude and Latitude **/
locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
// Define a listener that responds to location updates
locationListener = new LocationListener() {
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
// Called when a new location is found by the network location provider.
longitude = String.valueOf(location.getLongitude());
latitude = String.valueOf(location.getLatitude());
Log.d(TAG, "changed Loc : " + longitude + ":" + latitude);
}
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
}
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
}
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
}
};
// getting GPS status
isGPSEnabled = locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
// check if GPS enabled
if (isGPSEnabled) {
int i;
for (i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0,
locationListener);
Location location = locationManager
.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
if (location != null) {
longitude = String.valueOf(location.getLongitude());
latitude = String.valueOf(location.getLatitude());
break;
} else {
location = locationManager
.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
if (location != null) {
longitude = String.valueOf(location.getLongitude());
latitude = String.valueOf(location.getLatitude());
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 0,
0, locationListener);
break;
} else {
longitude = "0.00";
latitude = "0.00";
}
}
}
/**
* Record Inserting Process in Database...
**/
} else {
AlertDialogManager.showAlertforSettings(AccountMenuActivity.this, "GPS Settings",
"GPS is not Enabled. Do you want to Enable?", false);
}
I am getting 0.00 latitude and longitude many times and sometimes
i got the location of other countries (China, South Africa etc...)
I dont know why it happens but after I found Stackoverflow Solution By the way finding solution since 2 days of Googling found new API of Google named FusedLocationProviderApi
That i have implemented by following some links but getting errors like:
/**
* Booleans for GPS and NETWORK is Enabled or not...
*/
boolean gpsEnabled = false;
boolean networkEnabled = false;
//exceptions will be thrown if provider is not permitted.
try {
gpsEnabled = locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
} catch (Exception ex) {
Log.e("TAG", "GPS Error : " + ex.getLocalizedMessage());
}
try {
networkEnabled = locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
} catch (Exception ex) {
Log.e("TAG", "NetWork Error : " + ex.getLocalizedMessage());
}
Log.e("TAG", "GPS Network status : " + gpsEnabled + " : " + networkEnabled);
//don't start listeners if no provider is enabled
if (!gpsEnabled && !networkEnabled) {
AlertDialogManager.showAlertforSettings(VisitAcitivity.this, "GPS Settings", "GPS is not Enabled. Do you want to Enable?", false);
} else {
Log.i(TAG, "isPlayServiceAvailable" + isPlayServiceAvailable);
if(isPlayServiceAvailable) {
createLocationRequest();
mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
.addApi(LocationServices.API)
.addConnectionCallbacks(this)
.addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
.build();
mGoogleApiClient.connect();
} else {
final MyLocation.LocationResult locationResult = new MyLocation.LocationResult() {
#Override
public void gotLocation(final Location location) {
// Got the location!
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
longitude = String.valueOf(location.getLongitude());
latitude = String.valueOf(location.getLatitude());
saveVisit();
}
});
}
};
MyLocation myLocation = new MyLocation();
myLocation.getLocation(VisitAcitivity.this, locationResult);
}
}
#Override
protected void onPause() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onPause();
if(isPlayServiceAvailable && mGoogleApiClient != null)
stopLocationUpdates();
else if (locationManager != null) {
locationManager.removeUpdates(locationListener);
Log.d("msg", "Location Listener ended...");
}
}
#Override
public void onStop() {
super.onStop();
Log.d(TAG, "onStop fired ..............");
if(mGoogleApiClient != null)
mGoogleApiClient.disconnect();
}
#Override
public void onConnected(Bundle bundle) {
Log.d(TAG, "onConnected - isConnected ...............: " + mGoogleApiClient.isConnected());
startLocationUpdates();
}
protected void startLocationUpdates() {
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, mLocationRequest, this);
Log.d(TAG, "Location update started ..............: ");
}
#Override
public void onConnectionSuspended(int i) {
}
#Override
public void onConnectionFailed(ConnectionResult connectionResult) {
}
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
Log.d(TAG, "Firing onLocationChanged..............................................");
mCurrentLocation = location;
Log.d(TAG, "UI update initiated .............");
if (null != mCurrentLocation) {
latitude = String.valueOf(mCurrentLocation.getLatitude());
longitude = String.valueOf(mCurrentLocation.getLongitude());
} else {
Log.d(TAG, "location is null ...............");
}
}
protected void stopLocationUpdates() {
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.removeLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, this);
Log.d(TAG, "Location update stopped .......................");
}
In that i am managing two way to get location:
Google Play Service is available or not then get location using FusedLocation API.
Otherwise Get location using My own way (because so many device).
I had taken following permissions in My AndroidManifest.xml:
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES" />
<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" />
then also getting NULL locations :( IS THERE ANY SOLUTION for THIS PROBLEM?
Thanking you in Advance.

Try this instead: https://github.com/mcharmas/Android-ReactiveLocation
8 lines of code to get a fused location:
ReactiveLocationProvider locationProvider = new ReactiveLocationProvider(context);
locationProvider.getLastKnownLocation()
.subscribe(new Action1<Location>() {
#Override
public void call(Location location) {
doSthImportantWithObtainedLocation(location);
}
});

My GPS provider is enabled but I get null location nonetheless

I'm using this code to get the geo-position of the user
public Location getLocation() {
Location location = null;
double lat;
double lng;
try {
LocationManager mLocationManager = (LocationManager) con.getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
// getting GPS status
boolean isGPSEnabled = mLocationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
// getting network status
boolean isNetworkEnabled = mLocationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
if (!isGPSEnabled && !isNetworkEnabled) {
Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS);
startActivity(intent);
} else {
// First get location from Network Provider
if (isNetworkEnabled) {
mLocationManager.requestLocationUpdates( LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 0, 0, this);
Log.d("Network", "Network");
if (mLocationManager != null) {
location = mLocationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
if (location != null) {
lat = location.getLatitude();
lng = location.getLongitude();
System.out.println(lat);
}
}
}
//get the location by gps
if (isGPSEnabled) {
mLocationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,0,0, this);
Log.d("GPS Enabled", "GPS Enabled");
if (mLocationManager != null) {
location = mLocationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
if (location != null) {
lat = location.getLatitude();
lng = location.getLongitude();
System.out.println(lat);
}
}
}
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return location;
}
An this is what I get:
Network
39.68967
Gps Enabled
(nothing)
I can't understand the reason why Gps is enabled and I still can't get the coordinates from the gps provider

How to get complete details of current location using GPS & Location Manager

I am using GPS to get longitude and latitude of a location, but now I want to get each and every detail of location like: country, city, state, zip code, street number and so on.
Maximum details of current location.
Code:
public class GPSTracker extends Service implements LocationListener {

// flag for GPS status
boolean isGPSEnabled = false;
// flag for network status
boolean isNetworkEnabled = false;
// flag for GPS status

Location location; // location
double latitude; // latitude
double longitude; // longitude
String country;
// The minimum distance to change Updates in meters
private static final long MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES = 10; // 10 meters
// The minimum time between updates in milliseconds
private static final long MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES = 1000 * 60 * 1; // 1 minute

Here is the Tutorial to Get Current location and City name using GPS
Once you get GPS co-ordinates
By using Geocoder class you can every details
See below code snip is for getting Current City Same way you can go for other details also.
private class MyLocationListener implements LocationListener {
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location loc) {
editLocation.setText("");
pb.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
Toast.makeText(
getBaseContext(),
"Location changed : Lat: " + loc.getLatitude() + " Lng: "
+ loc.getLongitude(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
String longitude = "Longitude: " + loc.getLongitude();
Log.v(TAG, longitude);
String latitude = "Latitude: " + loc.getLatitude();
Log.v(TAG, latitude);
/*----------to get City-Name from coordinates ------------- */
String cityName = null;
Geocoder gcd = new Geocoder(getBaseContext(), Locale.getDefault());
List<Address> addresses;
try {
addresses = gcd.getFromLocation(loc.getLatitude(),
loc.getLongitude(), 1);
if (addresses.size() > 0)
System.out.println(addresses.get(0).getLocality());
cityName = addresses.get(0).getLocality();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
String s = longitude + "\n" + latitude + "\n\nMy Currrent City is: "
+ cityName;
editLocation.setText(s);
}
#Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
#Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
#Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {

}
}
Update (as per comment)
If you want to send this details to any contact via SMS.
I would say this page may help you

Using this code you can find the address like street, State, Country and Pin.
Geocoder geoCoder = new Geocoder(context, Locale.getDefault());
List<Address> addresses = geoCoder.getFromLocation(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude(), 1);
String address = "";
if (addresses != null && addresses.size() >= 0) {
address = addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(0);
if (addresses != null && addresses.size() >= 1) {
address += ", " + addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(1);
}
if (addresses != null && addresses.size() >= 2) {
address += ", " + addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(2);
}
}
And you need to run this code in separate thread or in AsyncTask because it will internally call the network connection.

I somehow spent many hours to complete this task. In the below code the onMapReady device location is detected and shows a marker at that location. On click on the marker the location address is shown.
