How to get last known location for Location manager in Android?

Question

I am using simple location manager object to get lastKnownLocation() of device but getting null object in

Answer 1

Best method I have found:

private Location getLastKnownLocation() {
    if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED || ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
        return null;
    }

    List<String> providers = locationManager.getProviders(true);
    Location bestLocation = null;
    for (String provider : providers) {
        Location l = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(provider);
        if (l == null) {
            continue;
        }
        if (bestLocation == null || l.getAccuracy() < bestLocation.getAccuracy()) {
            // Found best last known location:
            bestLocation = l;
        }
    }

    return bestLocation;
}

The locationManager variable you can get from the system service LOCATION.
