I want to get my current location, but sometimes my GPS can't get a location and show the grey point in google maps. I want to get latitude and longitude from that grey point when my GPS doesn't work well. How can I get that coordinate?
I use this solution Get user's current location using GPS but I still got null for my coordinate, but works well if my GPS worked well when my google maps showing blue point

and I use that class in MyActivity

sLongitude = mGpsLocationTracker.getLongitude(); //0.0 if gmaps grey
}
else
{
mGpsLocationTracker.showSettingsAlert();
}
I also use FusedLocation but still get null if my gmaps is grey point
public void capturePhoto()\\{
FusedLocationProviderClient client;
String sLatitude, sLongitude;
client = LocationServices.getFusedLocationProviderClient(this);
client.getLastLocation().addOnSuccessListener(this, new OnSuccessListener<Location>() {
@Override
public void onSuccess(Location location) {
if (location != null) {
sLatitude = String.valueOf(location.getLatitude());
sLongitude = String.valueOf(location.getLongitude());
}
else
{
GpsLocationTracker mGpsLocationTracker = new GpsLocationTracker(CheckInOutDetailActivity.this);
/**
* Set GPS Location fetched address
*/
if (mGpsLocationTracker.canGetLocation())
{
sLatitude = mGpsLocationTracker.getLatitude()+"";
sLongitude = mGpsLocationTracker.getLongitude()+"";
}
else
{
mGpsLocationTracker.showSettingsAlert();
}
}
}
});
}
