Let me start by acknowledging that there are many results when you search for this particular question. Yet, nothing I've tried, according to those answers, works. Sometimes I get the location, sometimes I don't. If I play with the Location enabling/disabling I always get null when calling getLastKnownLocation. If I sometimes manually revoke the Location permission and enable it again, it works. I've tried changing the LocationManager to location = locationManager .getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.PASSIVE_PROVIDER); but it doesn't work.
Basically, I am doing the following:
public class GPSTracker implements LocationListener {
public static final int LOCATION_SETTINGS_REQUEST_CODE = 109;

// stop the gps tracker(removes the location update listeners)
gpsTracker.stopUsingGPS();
}
};
Without this location permission android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION the getLastKnownLocation() will always return null.
getLastKnownLocation() does not return location immediately, it takes some time.
private static final long MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES = 10;
private static final long MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES = 1000 * 60;
this to
private static final long MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES = 0;
private static final long MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES = 5 * 1000;
Also remove your code which gets location from network. Go to Google maps and see if maps is able to detect your current location. If your map is able to get location then your code too should get location place breakpoints and see where the real issue is.

In my app I want to show user's current location and if location is changed it will show an alert message to change the location. The problem is that it shows location chahnge message even when the phone's GPS is off. What might be the reason?

getLat = Double.parseDouble(getL);
getLog = Double.parseDouble(getLo);
gps = new GpsTracker(Activity_Home.this);
/**

* latitude and longitude if distance between these latitude then Pop up
* will be show
*

double longitude = gps.getLongitude();
System.out.println("Latitude is " + getLat);

locationA.setLatitude(getLat);

I have done a program to fetch users gps location-its working fine in some mobiles but not working in Samsung S4(i9505).
I am running a service and extended LocationListener. Below is the code:
public class MainService extends Service implements LocationListener

public double latitude;
public double longitude;
LocationManager mlocManager=null;
LocationListener mlocListener;
Timer timer;
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId)
{
mlocManager = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
mlocListener = this;
mlocManager.requestLocationUpdates( LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0, mlocListener);
if (mlocManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER))
{
final String provider = LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER;
// start new timer thread
TimerTask task = new TimerTask()
{
#Override
public void run()
{
Location timerLoc = mlocManager.getLastKnownLocation(provider);
getFrndLocCloudAndSaveInDB();
SimpleDateFormat formata = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss");
String currentDateandTime = formata.format(new Date());
if(latitude>0 & longitude>0)
{locObj = new LocModel(myName, String.valueOf(latitude), String.valueOf(longitude), currentDateandTime);
Log.d("ccrc","my Loc:::"+ String.valueOf(timerLoc.getLatitude()) + " --|-- " + String.valueOf(timerLoc.getLongitude()) + "at" + currentDateandTime);}
i=i+1;
Log.d("ccrc","from timer--"+ i);
}
};
timer = new Timer(true);
timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(task, 5000, 10000);
}
else {
}
return super.onStartCommand(intent, flags, startId);
}
#Override

{
this.latitude=loc.getLatitude();
this.longitude=loc.getLongitude();
Log.i("latusrvc", String.valueOf(latitude));
}
}
In Log-for ccrc tag i get the result in other mobiles but not showing the longitude and latitude in Samsung S4. Plus GPS is on- i have also checked that. What can be the problem really?
I'm using this class to get latitude and longitude of the current location using GPS with method canGetLocation(). If GPS isn't on we can ask to activate the GPS of the phone by showing a Dailog with method showSettingsAlert.

It returns true because it's enabled. You don't ask if it's able calculate your position. To get updates when your location is changed use onLocationChanged().
I am trying to create an app that shows my current location
I have all the permisson neccessary,
I have another class name GPS tracker to get my gps locations
Heres my code :
GPSTracker gpsTracker = new GPSTracker(this);
LocationManager lm = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
lm.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 0, 0, this);
map = ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();
map.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_NORMAL);
latitude = gpsTracker.latitude;
longitude = gpsTracker.longitude;
LatLng latLng = new LatLng(latitude, longitude);
map.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(latLng));
map.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(18));
Here is the GPSTracker class:

DO NOT USE THE GPS TRACKER CLASS. It's horribly horribly broken. In so many ways I wrote a long blog post about it tonight: see http://gabesechansoftware.com/location-tracking/
Here's the ways its broken:
1)It doesn't track GPS. Sometimes it tracks network location instead
2)The canGetLocation function is broken. It returns true before it has a location
3)Its horribly inefficient, forcing you to poll.
4)It doesn't differentiate stale from fresh data- and doesn't let you do it either
I'd go on but I already wrote it up tonight.
I wrote a much better GPS tracker library at my blog. Here it is repeated for SO use

The interface defines a generic location tracker so you can switch between them. ProviderLocationTracker will allow you to track via GPS or network, depending on the parameter you pass to its constructor. FallbackLocationTracker will track via both, giving you only the most accurate info currently available but falling back to network if GPS isn't ready.
use this code
and implemets your activity from "implements LocationListener"
locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,3000, // 3 sec
5, this);
boolean isGPS = locationManager.isProviderEnabled (LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
if(!isGPS)
{
showSettingsAlert();
GPS_imageview.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.gpsnonfix);
//Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Please Start GPS to get more Accurate location", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT) .show();
}
and use following also
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
int a=location.getExtras().getInt("satellites") ;
if(a>4)
{
String str = "Latitude: "+location.getLatitude()+" \nLongitude: "+location.getLongitude();
// Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), str, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Double lat=location.getLatitude();
Double lan=location.getLongitude();
}else{
}
String str = "Latitude: "+location.getLatitude()+" \nLongitude: "+location.getLongitude();
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), str, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
#Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
/******** Called when User off Gps *********/
Latitude="0.0";
Longitude="0.0";
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Gps turned off ", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
#Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
/******** Called when User on Gps *********/
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Gps turned on ", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
#Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
This code get no of sattelite .if no of sattelite is greter than 4 then get proper result..thats accuracy of result is good...
When you start your app, your GPS probably has not yet made connection and gives you a default location such as 0,0. If your phone finds its coordinates at a later point in time, your app has no way of detecting this.
This line:
lm.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 0, 0, this);
states that every time your phone discovers a change of location, the "OnLocationChanged"-method (of the object in which you called that line of code), is called. As far as I can see, you did not implement this method yet.
I suggest the following. Change your third line to:
lm.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 0, 0, gpsTracker);
So it uses the implementation of the onLocationChanged method of your gpsTracker.
Now, implement the OnLocationChanged-method of the GPSTracker-class which you already defined, but not yet implemented:
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
//This method is triggered every time your location changes.
//The 'location' argument can be used to access the current location.
}
