Finding Current Location in android

Question

I am trying to find current location, and this is my code.

 LocationManager mlocManager = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);        
           


        

Answer 1

Location location =new Location(mlocManager.GPS_PROVIDER); 

after writing this statement if you put your cursor over Location You will come to know extact meaning of this statement.

As per Google Doc

above Constructs a new Location. By default, time, latitude, longitude, and numSatellites are 0; hasAltitude, hasSpeed, and hasBearing are false; and there is no extra information.

You need to fire requestLocationUpdate to get Lat & lon(If any).

Also since you are running this example on Emulator.You will need to emulate send Lat & Lon manually.
