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 ??

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";
private LocationManager mLocationManager = null;
private static final int LOCATION_INTERVAL = 180000;
private static final float LOCATION_DISTANCE = 0.0f;

String loc_name;
private class LocationListener implements android.location.LocationListener {
Location mLastLocation;
public LocationListener(String provider) {

lati = location.getLatitude();
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) {

}
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 find location through gps on my phone

I actually wrote the below code on the onclick method of a button,but it is giving null pointer exception,plzz help
public void submit(View v)
{
LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
Location location= locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
double mesg1=location.getLatitude();
double mesg2=location.getLongitude();
}

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/LocationManager.html
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

public void loc1(View v)

LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
LocationListener locationListener = new LocationListener() {
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {

Can't Get Location using LocationManager in Background 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.

Cannot get current location coordinates

I want to get current longitude and latitude as int
So I use this code
locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0,
0, this);
Location location = locationManager
.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
try {
gps_enabled = locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
} catch (Exception ex) {
}
try {
network_enabled = locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
} catch (Exception ex) {
}
// don't start listeners if no provider is enabled
if (!gps_enabled && !network_enabled) {
....Notify
}
if (gps_enabled) {
if (location != null) {
longitude =(int) (location.getLongitude()*1e6);
latitude = (int) (location.getLatitude()*1e6);
String accuracy = "Accuracy: " + location.getAccuracy();
}
}
if (network_enabled) {
if (location != null) {
longitude =(int) (location.getLongitude()*1e6);
latitude = (int) (location.getLatitude()*1e6);
String accuracy = "Accuracy: " + location.getAccuracy();
}
}
locationManager.removeUpdates(this);
Unfortunately longitude and latitude are always null.
I have all permission needed in the manifest.
How can I fix this issue?

Well this is what i use for location listener
import android.content.Context;
import android.location.Criteria;
import android.location.Location;
import android.location.LocationListener;
import android.location.LocationManager;
import android.os.Bundle;
public class LocationUtils implements LocationListener{
Context context;
private String provider;
private LocationManager locationManager;
private String latitude="no value";
private String longitude="no value";
public LocationUtils(Context context) {
this.context=context;
// Get the location manager
locationManager = (LocationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
// Define the criteria how to select the locatioin provider -> use
// default
latitude="no value";
longitude="no value";
Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
provider = locationManager.getBestProvider(criteria, false);
Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(provider);

Now in your activity u can get
LocationUtils appLocationManager = new LocationUtils(getContext());
String latitude = appLocationManager.getLatitude();
String longitude = appLocationManager.getLongitude();
Also add
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"></uses-permission>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"></uses-permission>
in your manifest file

First check the GPS enabled in your device.
Check all the permissions included in the manifest
You are fetching the last known location using the GPS provider so remove that line and fetch the location individually for both the provider(There should be possible that your GPS is not available at that time so you did not get the location and you are fetching the last known location using the GPS so it can be null and if location will be null then it will not goes inside the conditions like if(network_enabled) and if(gps_enabled).).
In short check the Last known location of GPS if it is null then try to get the location using the Location provider and use that location.

hey you can make the service and use this code to get altitude and latitude and decode this using class

Try This code
double longitude,latitude;
int lon,lat;
getcurrentloc.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if(!locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER)){
Toast.makeText(GpsLocationFinder.this, "Enable Your GPS", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}else{
LocationResult locationResult=new LocationResult() {
#Override
public void gotLocation(Location location) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
longitude=location.getLongitude();
latitude=location.getLatitude();
lon=(int)longitude;
lat=(int)latitude;
Toast.makeText(GpsLocationFinder.this, "Current Longitude"+longitude+" Current Latitude"+latitude,Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
};
MyLocation myLocation = new MyLocation();
myLocation.getLocation(GpsLocationFinder.this, locationResult);
}
}
});
And the MyLocation Class is Below
public class MyLocation {
Timer timer1;
LocationManager lm;
LocationResult locationResult;
boolean gps_enabled=false;
boolean network_enabled=false;
double longitude,latitude;
public boolean getLocation(Context context, LocationResult result)
{
//I use LocationResult callback class to pass location value from MyLocation to user code.
//Log.e("GPS DISTANCE","GPS Enabled");
locationResult=result;
if(lm==null)
lm = (LocationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
//exceptions will be thrown if provider is not permitted.
//don't start listeners if no provider is enabled
//try{
try{
gps_enabled=lm.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
}catch(Exception ex){
}
try{
network_enabled=lm.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
}catch(Exception ex){
}
if(!gps_enabled && !network_enabled){
return false;
}
if(gps_enabled){
lm.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 100, 100, locationListenerGps);
}
if(network_enabled)
lm.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 0, 0, locationListenerNetwork);
timer1=new Timer();
timer1.schedule(new GetLastLocation(), 30000);
return true;
}
LocationListener locationListenerGps = new LocationListener() {
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
timer1.cancel();
locationResult.gotLocation(location);
lm.removeUpdates(this);
lm.removeUpdates(locationListenerNetwork);
}
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {}
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {}
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {}
};
LocationListener locationListenerNetwork = new LocationListener() {

lm.removeUpdates(locationListenerGps);
}

};

Location net_loc=null, gps_loc=null;
if(gps_enabled)
gps_loc=lm.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
if(network_enabled)

//if there are both values use the latest one
if(gps_loc!=null && net_loc!=null){
