current location is always null

Question

I am trying to retrieve my current location on the button click in an editbox using gps or network..i have tried all possible methods which i found in tutorials and older posts.

Answer 1

when we specify NETWORK_PROVIDER to listen for location updates,

Android system makes use of wi-fi ids or internet access points to determine locations

When there is no internet access, it returns null values

Happened with me too, it doesnt get location from cell towers as expected

read into this: no gprs/no wi-fi location updates
