I have a problem,
The locationmanager is working perfectly fine when i test it in the emulator and edit the location in the DDMS screen, but when i test it on the Samsung Galaxy SII, its nog working..
Please help me.

In the permissions i have:
ACCES_COURSE_LOCATION
ACCES_FINE_LOCATION
Maybe you are testing indoors, and can't get any GPS information.
Try to change LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER-->LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER.
It could be a problem with your incorrect usage of String.format(). Sometimes this can cause weird, device-specific issues. Try,
String lon = "" + location.getLongitude();
String lat = "" + location.getLatitude();
String num = getMyPhoneNumber();
String message = String.format(
"New Location \n Longitude: %1$s \n Latitude: %2$s \n %3$s",
lon,
lat,
num
);
Have you tried using this?
LocationManager lm = (LocationManager)act.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
Criteria crit = new Criteria();
crit.setAccuracy(Criteria.ACCURACY_FINE);
String provider = lm.getBestProvider(crit, true);
Location loc = lm.getLastKnownLocation(provider);
i had similar issues using the locationmanager on my HTC incredible S running 4.0.4.
it would simply stop firing location changes on the real device after some time.
on some other devices it would work.
very intermittent.
my solution was to piss off the LocationManager and use LocationClient pardiagm.
http://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/gms/location/LocationClient.html
ever since google play services have been introduced the Locationmanager has been intermittent on my device. I cant give any other explanation as to why it occurs.
But the LocationClient works everytime plus it removes the dumb 'provider' notion from location management.

I am trying to get my current location on the click of a button. I tried the above code but the line Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER) always gives the location null. I looked up to find out the problem may be due to getLastKnownLocation. As LastKnownLocation is not cancehd, I am getting null value. But how I modify this code to give the current location instead of null value.
make two global strings like:
public class LbsGeocodingActivity extends Activity {
private latVar;
private lonVar;
then in your onLocationChanged method in your location listener:
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
double lat = location.getLatitude();
double lon = location.getLongitude();
latVar = Double.toString(lat);
lonVar = Double.toString(lon);
then in your button click:
protected void showCurrentLocation() {
if ( ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission( this, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION ) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED ) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions( this, new String[] { android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION },
LbsGeocodingActivity.MY_PERMISSION_ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION );
}
String message = String.format(
"Current Location \n Longitude: %1$s \n Latitude: %2$s",
lonVar, latVar
);
Toast.makeText(LbsGeocodingActivity.this, message,
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
also consider changing your variable MINIMUM_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES to 0

private void updateWithNewLocation(Location location) {
String timeStamp = (String) DateFormat.format("hh:mm:ss",

String locationString = location.getLatitude() + ", "

Log.i("Main", "Time = " + timeStamp + " Location = " + locationString);
}
}
This code works with my nexus 4, but if I use it with my Galaxy Gio the location is off by 30 Miles..
network location is based on the nearest Cell tower which the phone is connected to. It could be possible that your Nexus4 is connected to one Cell tower and the Galaxy Gio connected to another cell tower that could be like a bit far from where the Device is. To get an accurate fix, use GPS_PROVIDER. I had this issue before when using a NETWORK_PROVIDER. Got rid of it when I started using the GPS_PROVIDER which gave me accurate fixes

It looks like your code for finding the city and zipcode is right, but your code for formatting the string for your toast is wrong. It does not put the values in there.
It should look like this:
String message=String.format("City Name %s \n PostalCode %d \n", Data.get(0).getLocality(),Data.get(0).getPostalCode());
The %s represents a string and the %s represents a decimal number (integer).
Here is the code to find the current location, but nothing shows on the screen after pressing the retreive button.
I have reset adb and tried to send the data from emulator control manually. But when I send data using emulator control, then the emulator restarts but never shows the home screen.
Please help. Thanks in advance.

In you code you might not be receiving the current location(this is because in you need to push your location manually through emulator control).
Just have else case also in showCurrentLocation() and check whether the location object is null or not like below.
protected void showCurrentLocation() {
Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
if (location != null) {
String message = String.format(
"Current Location \n Longitude: %1$s \n Latitude: %2$s",
location.getLongitude(), location.getLatitude()
);
Toast.makeText(LbsGeocodingActivity.this, message,
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}else{
Toast.makeText(LbsGeocodingActivity.this, "location is null",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
On our first attempts to use the location sensors we had similar problems. Two things help the most in order to get the best results from GPS.
On the emulator the Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER); causes a lot force closes.
And most important. Its far more stable to input the gps data through telnet. telnet localhost 5554 (You can see the port on the emulators window title). The command for a new gps fix is: geo fix lat lng
I have implemented sample application for get the current location latitude longitude.If i lunch my application in emulator and i am sending latitude and longitude from Emulator Controls at eclipse then i am getting current location latitude and longitude which from emulator controls.If i lunch the same application in real device then i am not able to get current location latitude and longitude
I have implemented code for get the current location latitude and longitude as follows:
LocationManager mlocManager = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
LocationListener mlocListener = new MyLocationListener();
mlocManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 11, 11, mlocListener);
public class MyLocationListener implements LocationListener
{
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location loc)
{
loc.getLatitude();
loc.getLongitude();
Log.v("11111","Latitude :"+loc.getLatitude());
Log.v("22222","Longitude :"+ loc.getLongitude());
}
}
From the above code i am not getting current location latitude and longitude in real android device.
How can i get current location latitude and longitude of real device?
please any body help me
GPS_PROVIDER does not work in bound place. So if gps_provider is enabled but you get null location you can replace provider from gps to NETWORK_PROVIDER.
prasad try this code ..by using this i am successfully getting lat long
private Location location = null;
private LocationManager locationManager = null;
locationManager = (LocationManager) context.getSystemService (Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
Criteria locationCritera = new Criteria();
locationCritera.setAccuracy(Criteria.ACCURACY_FINE);
locationCritera.setAltitudeRequired(false);
locationCritera.setBearingRequired(false);
locationCritera.setCostAllowed(true);
locationCritera.setPowerRequirement(Criteria.NO_REQUIREMENT);
String providerName = locationManager.getBestProvider(locationCritera,
true);
location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(providerName);
locationListener = new MyLocationListener();
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0,
0, locationListener);
currentLocation = context.getSharedPreferences(PREFS_NAME, 0);
editor = currentLocation.edit();
}
public String getCurrentLatitude() {
try {
if (!currentLocation.getString("currentLatitude", "")
.equalsIgnoreCase(""))
return currentLocation.getString("currentLatitude", "");
else if (location.getLatitude() != 0.0)
return Double.toString(location.getLatitude());
else
return "0.0";
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return "0.0";
}
public String getCurrentLongitude() {
try {
if (!currentLocation.getString("currentLongitude", "")
.equalsIgnoreCase(""))
return currentLocation.getString("currentLongitude", "");
else if (location.getLongitude() != 0.0)
return Double.toString(location.getLongitude());
else
return "0.0";
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return "0.0";
}
are you trying on emulator or device. if you are trying in device then your device should have to be near window or in open place.
override these methods in your MyLocationListener. so that you can track your GPS status. check and see if you can get whats the problem
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider)
{
Toast.makeText( getApplicationContext(),"Gps Disabled",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT ).show();
}
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider)
{
Toast.makeText( getApplicationContext(),"Gps Enabled",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras)
{
}
On a real device, you will have to be patient and wait for a fix from the satellites. This can take several minutes, even with a clear view of the sky.
For testing outside, you would be better advised to have a simple text box in your app, initialise it to something like "No GPS fix yet", then send a string comprised of the lat/long coordinates to it when the location changes.
Maybe this is more clear. I will change the conditional to something more efficient later if it is possible
double longitude = 0;
double latitude = 0;
LocationManager lm = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
if (lm.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER) != null) {
Location location = lm
.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
longitude = location.getLongitude();
latitude = location.getLatitude();
} else {
Location location = lm
.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
longitude = location.getLongitude();
latitude = location.getLatitude();
}
There are two types of location providers,
GPS Location Provider
Network Location Provider

}
