ANDROID: GET LOCATION FROM GPS

Get location from GPS

This example shows how you can get real location from GPS.

Algorithm:

1.) Create a new project by File-> New -> Android Project name it GetLocationFromGPS.

2.) Write following into main.xml:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="match_parent"     android:orientation="vertical"     tools:context=".MainActivity" >        <TextView         android:id="@+id/status"         android:layout_width="fill_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>     <TextView         android:id="@+id/latitude"         android:layout_width="fill_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>     <TextView         android:id="@+id/longitude"         android:layout_width="fill_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>    </LinearLayout>

3.) Write following permissions into your manifest file:

1 2	<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>

4.) Run for output.

Steps:

1.) Create a project named GetLocationFromGPS and set the information as stated in the image.

Build Target: Android 4.4
Application Name: GetLocationFromGPS
Package Name: com.example.GetLocationFromGPS
Activity Name: GetLocationFromGPS

2.) Open GetLocationFromGPS.java file and write following code there:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86

package com.example.getlocationfromgps;   import android.location.Location; import android.location.LocationListener; import android.location.LocationManager; import android.os.Bundle; import android.app.Activity; import android.content.Context; import android.widget.TextView;    public class GetLocationFromGPS extends Activity {     TextView testViewStatus, textViewLatitude, textViewLongitude;      LocationManager myLocationManager;  String PROVIDER = LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER;      @Override  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {   super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);   setContentView(R.layout.main);   testViewStatus = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.status);   textViewLatitude = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.latitude);   textViewLongitude = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.longitude);        myLocationManager = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);        //get last known location, if available   Location location = myLocationManager.getLastKnownLocation(PROVIDER);   showMyLocation(location);  }      @Override  protected void onPause() {   // TODO Auto-generated method stub   super.onPause();   myLocationManager.removeUpdates(myLocationListener);  }     @Override  protected void onResume() {   // TODO Auto-generated method stub   super.onResume();   myLocationManager.requestLocationUpdates(     PROVIDER,     //provider     0,       //minTime     0,       //minDistance     myLocationListener); //LocationListener  }     private void showMyLocation(Location l){   if(l == null){    testViewStatus.setText("No Location!");   }else{    textViewLatitude.setText("Latitude: " + l.getLatitude());    textViewLongitude.setText("Longitude: " + l.getLongitude());   }       }      private LocationListener myLocationListener  = new LocationListener(){      @Override   public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {    showMyLocation(location);   }      @Override   public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {    // TODO Auto-generated method stub         }      @Override   public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {    // TODO Auto-generated method stub         }      @Override   public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {    // TODO Auto-generated method stub         }}; }

3.) Compile and build the project.
