Answer 1

Try this Code:

public CurrentLocation(Context ctx) {
    this.context = ctx;

    locationManager = (LocationManager) context
            .getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
    @SuppressWarnings("unused")
    List providers = locationManager.getAllProviders();

    Criteria locationCritera = new Criteria();
    String providerName = locationManager.getBestProvider(locationCritera,
            true);

    location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(providerName);
    locationListener = new MyLocationListener();

    locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0,
            0, locationListener);
