Android :How to get Current Location in Longitude and latitude?

Question

I want to store current Location to database when i click on Button.

The location is stored but it is receiving 0.0 ,0.0 don't know where's the mistake is in my code Here i post my complete code for this please help me out from this.

getting current location

GetCurrentGPSLocation gps = new GetCurrentGPSLocation(getActivity());

            // check if GPS enabled
            if (gps.canGetLocation()) {
                double latitude = gps.getLatitude();
                double longitude = gps.getLongitude();
                // \n is for new line
                lat.setText( ""+latitude);
                longi.setText("" +longitude);
                latitude12=lat.getText().toString();
                longitude12=longi.getText().toString();
                Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Your Location is - \nLat: " + latitude + "\nLong: " + longitude, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

                longi.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
                lat.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
            } else {
                // can't get location
                // GPS or Network is not enabled
                // Ask user to enable GPS/network in settings
                gps.showSettingsAlert();
            }

Answer 1

onLocationChanged gets called every time when your location updates , so keep & update a global value and take that value on your Button click to do what you want

 private LatLng latLng;

       @Override
        public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
        if(location!=null){
         latLng = new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude()); }
    }

or based on time or distance you can get the location as well use android.location.LocationListener() see Edit for that,

If you want to manually call onLocationChanged after a time period even the location is not changed use below

 LocationRequest  mLocationRequest = new LocationRequest();
    mLocationRequest.setInterval(30000); //5 seconds
    mLocationRequest.setFastestInterval(30000); //3 seconds
    mLocationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_BALANCED_POWER_ACCURACY);
    //mLocationRequest.setSmallestDisplacement(0.1F); //1/10 meter

    if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
        return;
    }
    LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, mLocationRequest, this);

---

Edit : This is the location listener you can use this separately without the above if you want

    private LocationManager locationManager;
    private android.location.LocationListener myLocationListener;

    public void checkLocation() {

        String serviceString = Context.LOCATION_SERVICE;
        locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(serviceString);


        if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            return;
        }


        myLocationListener = new android.location.LocationListener() {
            public void onLocationChanged(Location locationListener) {

                if (isGPSEnabled(YourActivityName.this)) {
                    if (locationListener != null) {
                        if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(YourActivityName.this, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(YourActivityName.this, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                            return;
                        }

                        if (locationManager != null) {
                            location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
                            if (location != null) {
                                latitude = location.getLatitude();
                                longitude = location.getLongitude();
                            }
                        }
                    }
                } else if (isInternetConnected(YourActivityName.this)) {
                    if (locationManager != null) {
                        location = locationManager
                                .getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
                        if (location != null) {
                            latitude = location.getLatitude();
                            longitude = location.getLongitude();
                        }
                    }
                }



            }

            public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {

            }

            public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {

            }

            public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {

            }
        }; 

locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 1000, 1, myLocationListener); 
}

isInternetConnected method

public static boolean isInternetConnected(Context ctx) {
        ConnectivityManager connectivityMgr = (ConnectivityManager) ctx
                .getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
        NetworkInfo wifi = connectivityMgr.getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI);
        NetworkInfo mobile = connectivityMgr.getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE);
        // Check if wifi or mobile network is available or not. If any of them is
        // available or connected then it will return true, otherwise false;
        if (wifi != null) {
            if (wifi.isConnected()) {
                return true;
            }
        }
        if (mobile != null) {
            if (mobile.isConnected()) {
                return true;
            }
        }
        return false;
    }

isGpsEnabled method

  public boolean isGPSEnabled(Context mContext) {
        LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) mContext.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
        return locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
    }

Note : Now do not get confuse. There are 3 ways mentioned here.

1.use onLocationChanged automatically

2. use onLocationChanged manually

3. use android.location.LocationListener() added the full implementation (this will not help you to learn but to get a data. Go through these lines and understand them by searching what happen actually )

Answer 2

1.Add dependency in build.gradle

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:11.0.4'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:11.0.4'

2.Add those 3 permissions in manifest file

 android.permission.INTERNET,ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION,ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION

3.How you should write your class MainActivity:

public class MainActivity extends Activity implements LocationListener {

    LocationManager locationManager;
    String provider;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this,
                Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            // Check Permissions Now
            ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this,
                    new String[] { Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION },
                    0);
        }
        // Getting LocationManager object
        statusCheck();

        locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(
                Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);

        // Creating an empty criteria object
        Criteria criteria = new Criteria();

        // Getting the name of the provider that meets the criteria
        provider = locationManager.getBestProvider(criteria, false);

        if (provider != null && !provider.equals("")) {
            if (!provider.contains("gps")) { // if gps is disabled
                final Intent poke = new Intent();
                poke.setClassName("com.android.settings",
                        "com.android.settings.widget.SettingsAppWidgetProvider");
                poke.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_ALTERNATIVE);
                poke.setData(Uri.parse("3"));
                sendBroadcast(poke);
            }
            // Get the location from the given provider
            Location location = locationManager
                    .getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);

            locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(
                    LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 500, 0, this);

            if (location != null)
                onLocationChanged(location);
            else
                location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(provider);
            if (location != null)
                onLocationChanged(location);
            else

                Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Location can't be retrieved",
                        Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

        } else {
            Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "No Provider Found",
                    Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
