How do I get the current GPS location programmatically in Android?

Question

I need to get my current location using GPS programmatically. How can i achieve it?

Answer 1

I will recommend using Smart Location Library
Very simple to use and it wraps the location logic nicely.

For starting the location service:

SmartLocation.with(context).location()
    .start(new OnLocationUpdatedListener() { ... });

If you just want to get a single location (not periodic) you can just use the oneFix modifier. Example:

SmartLocation.with(context).location()
    .oneFix()
    .start(new OnLocationUpdatedListener() { ... });
