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 can I start Android service separately?

Here what I need, how can I start Android service separately?
I got service running from background (Preference.Class),
public void startService(){
Intent intent;
intent = new Intent(getBaseContext(), ForegroundService.class);
startService(intent);
intent = new Intent(getBaseContext(), PostMobileHistory.class);
startService(intent);
intent = new Intent(getBaseContext(), PostLocation.class);
startService(intent);
sharedPreferences.edit().putBoolean("serviceStatus", true).commit();
}
and start the Location Manager which run in service after from the BroadcastReceiver, but why the previous service gone, and just only Lcation Manager left?
public class LocationManager extends Service implements LocationListener{

The problem solve, I shouldn't put function in the onCreate() on service, moved to onStartCommand() and its work perfectly well...

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

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);
// Initialize the location fields
if (location != null) {
/*Toast.makeText(context, "Provider " + provider + " has been selected.",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();*/
// System.out.println("Provider " + provider + " has been selected.");
onLocationChanged(location);
} else {
/*Toast.makeText(context, "Location not available",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();*/
}
}
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
double lat = (double) (location.getLatitude());
double lng = (double) (location.getLongitude());
latitude = lat + "";
longitude = lng + "";
/* Toast.makeText(context, " lat: "+lat +" Long:"+lng,
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); */
}
#Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
//Toast.makeText(context, "Disabled provider " + provider,
// Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
//Toast.makeText(context, "Enabled new provider " + provider,
// Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
public String getLatitude() {
return latitude;
}
public String getLongitude() {
return longitude;
}
}
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() {
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
timer1.cancel();
locationResult.gotLocation(location);
lm.removeUpdates(this);
lm.removeUpdates(locationListenerGps);
}
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
}
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {}
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {}
};
class GetLastLocation extends TimerTask {
#Override
public void run() {
lm.removeUpdates(locationListenerGps);
lm.removeUpdates(locationListenerNetwork);
Location net_loc=null, gps_loc=null;
if(gps_enabled)
gps_loc=lm.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
if(network_enabled)
net_loc=lm.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
//if there are both values use the latest one
if(gps_loc!=null && net_loc!=null){
if(gps_loc.getTime()>net_loc.getTime())
locationResult.gotLocation(gps_loc);
else
locationResult.gotLocation(net_loc);
return;
}
if(gps_loc!=null){
locationResult.gotLocation(gps_loc);
return;
}
if(net_loc!=null){
locationResult.gotLocation(net_loc);
return;
}
locationResult.gotLocation(null);
}
}
public static abstract class LocationResult{
public abstract void gotLocation(Location location);
}
}
