Fetching latitude and longitude programmaticaly in android always getting GPS LastKnownLocation null

Hello all i know this question is too old and there are many of them but none of the solution is working for me. I am fetching latitude and longitude programmaticaly i tried below code but what is happening is for GPS every time i am getting LastKnownLocation = null also my GPS is enabled on my device, i tried this code on different devices where on some of them i am able to get latitude and longitude from GPS but for most of them it is showing null. I don't know why this code is failing for most of the cases, if any one of you know anything about this or any better way of doing it then please tell me i have spent almost a week digging what's wrong in the above code but nothing help me out.
UPDATE- Is google's FusedLocationApi free or there is limited requests per day ??

Can't Get Location using LocationManager in Background Service

public class LocationService extends Service {

this doesn't give me any location.... and my app is also doesn't Crash or gives any Exception.
I have properly register all permissions in Manifest file...
ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION
ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
I can't find what to do?
any help will be appreciated
thanks in advance for Help...

I think your problem is that you remove the listener right away:
locManager.removeUpdates(locationListener); // comment this one out
in getMyCurrentLocation();
You should try to remove your listener in some other places.

Getting Longitude and Latitude using Google maps v2

How do i get longitude longitude of my current phone location using Google maps v2?
I use this method to zoom on my device place:
googleMap.getUiSettings().setMyLocationButtonEnabled(true);
Now how do i get the coordinates?
I know this method to get an area:
double left = vr.latLngBounds.southwest.longitude;
double top = vr.latLngBounds.northeast.latitude; ...

You can get the center Lat and Lng values from google maps via this code
LatLng latLng = map.getCameraPosition().target;
double lat = latLng.latitude;
double lng = latLng.longitude;

The Google Maps API location has listeners, for example:
private GoogleMap.OnMyLocationChangeListener myLocationChangeListener = new
GoogleMap.OnMyLocationChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onMyLocationChange(Location location) {
LatLng loc = new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());
mMarker = gMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(loc));
if(gMap != null){
gMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(loc, 16.0f));
}
}
};
and then set the listener for the map:
gMap.setOnMyLocationChangeListener(myLocationChangeListener);
This will get called when the map first finds the location.
try this code.

Use This:
private boolean gps_enabled = false;
private boolean network_enabled = false;
private Location location;
private void getMyCurrentLocation() {
Double MyLat = null, MyLong = null;
String CityName = "";
String StateName = "";
String CountryName = "";
LocationManager locManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
LocationListener locListener = new MyLocationListener();
try {
gps_enabled = locManager
.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
} catch (Exception ex) {
}
try {
network_enabled = locManager
.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
} catch (Exception ex) {
}
// don't start listeners if no provider is enabled
// if(!gps_enabled && !network_enabled)
// return false;
if (gps_enabled) {
locManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0,
0, locListener);
}
if (gps_enabled) {
location = locManager
.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
}
if (network_enabled && location == null) {
locManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER,
0, 0, locListener);
}
if (network_enabled && location == null) {
location = locManager
.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
}
if (location != null) {
MyLat = location.getLatitude();
MyLong = location.getLongitude();
map.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(new LatLng(
MyLat, MyLong), 15));
} else {
Location loc = getLastKnownLocation(this);
if (loc != null) {
MyLat = loc.getLatitude();
MyLong = loc.getLongitude();
}
}
locManager.removeUpdates(locListener); // removes the periodic updates
}
public class MyLocationListener implements LocationListener {
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
if (location != null) {
}
}

}
public static Location getLastKnownLocation(Context context) {

jumping location on google maps by gps. (inaccurate distance)

my app should display the distance and location in real time when the user walked, but there are errors with my output.
the distance did not start immediately but when it start it increase a lot until it slows down a bit.
the red marker and blue dot should be together according to one example I've seen but they are separate in my app. both of them point my current location right?
both red marker and blue dot jumps around in a short time that i was not moving that is away from my true location. which i believe lead to the inaccuracy of the distance as well.
please see my output for more details

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

double longitude; // longitude
String country;

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.

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.
