Answer 1

Try this code, it is worked in my application:

private LocationManager locationManager;
private String provider;
double lat,lon;
 public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.locate);

        locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
       locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 6000, 1, this);
        if ( !locationManager.isProviderEnabled( LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER ) ) {
            gpsalert();
        }
        // Criteria to select location provider

        Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);

        if (location != null) {

            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Provider is available", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

        } else {
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Provider is not available", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    }
@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    String addr,city,country;
    lat=location.getLatitude();
    lon=location.getLongitude();

    //Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "lat"+lat+"long"+lon, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    Geocoder geocoder;
    List
 addresses;
    geocoder = new Geocoder(this, Locale.getDefault());
    try {
        addresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(lat, lon, 1);

         addr = addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(0);
        city = addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(1);
         country = addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(2);
         t1.setText(addr+"\n"+city+"\n"+country);

    } catch (IOException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }



}

@Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    //Toast.makeText(this, "Disabled provider " + provider, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    //t1.setText("");
}

@Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    //Toast.makeText(this, "Enabled provider " + provider, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

@Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

}
@Override
protected void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    //locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(provider, 400, 1, this);
}
                                    // Remove LocationListener updates
@Override
protected void onPause() {
    super.onPause();
    //locationManager.removeUpdates(this);
}
public void gpsalert()
{
    final AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
    builder.setMessage("Your GPS seems to be disabled, do you want to enable it?")
           .setCancelable(false)
           .setPositiveButton("Yes", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
               public void onClick(@SuppressWarnings("unused") final DialogInterface dialog, @SuppressWarnings("unused") final int id) {
                   startActivity(new Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS));
               }
           })
           .setNegativeButton("No", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
               public void onClick(final DialogInterface dialog, @SuppressWarnings("unused") final int id) {
                    dialog.cancel();
               }
           });
    final AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
    alert.show();
}
