Answer 1

public class Splash extends Activity {

    Location location;
    LocationManager locationManager;
    LocationListener locationlistener;
    ImageView image_view;
    ublic static ProgressDialog progressdialog;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.splash);
        progressdialog = new ProgressDialog(Splash.this);
           image_view.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub

                        locationManager.requestLocationUpdates("gps", 100000, 1, locationlistener);
                        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Getting Location plz wait...", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

                            progressdialog.setMessage("getting Location");
                            progressdialog.show();
                            Intent intent = new Intent(Splash.this,Show_LatLng.class);
//                          }
        });
    }

Text here:-
use this for getting activity context for progressdialog

 progressdialog = new ProgressDialog(Splash.this);

or progressdialog = new ProgressDialog(this);

use this for getting application context for BroadcastListener not for progressdialog.

progressdialog = new ProgressDialog(getApplicationContext());
progressdialog = new ProgressDialog(getBaseContext());
