locationmanager

I've created a Service and grabs location data about the user so I can show my users nearby places. I want this Service to track by network in addition to GPS for 2 reasons: 1) GPS may not be enabled. 2) GPS takes quite a bit of time to lock on with my test phone. When my Service executes the following line: mNETEnabled = mLocationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER); I get the following error: 11-24 14:00:41.693: ERROR/LocationManagerService(51): isProviderEnabled got exception: 11-24 14:00:41.693: ERROR/LocationManagerService(51): java.lang.IllegalArgumentException:

I am using simple location manager object to get lastKnownLocation() of device but getting null object in return can any one tell me why ? Code : public Location getLocation() { LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) this.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE); if (locationManager != null) { Location lastKnownLocationGPS = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER); if (lastKnownLocationGPS != null) { return lastKnownLocationGPS; } else { Location loc = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.PASSIVE_PROVIDER); System.out.println("1::"+loc)

I have my own location class. I have an odds result that when I search for the GPS location using my class, I get 0, 0 back. Whereas if I search the getLastKnown function in location manager for GPS, I get the forced value: public Location getGPSloc(Context c){ isGPSavailable(c); if(gps_enabled) lm.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 5000, 0, locationListenerGps); timerGPS = new Timer(); timerGPS.schedule(new GetLastLocationGPS(), 45000); return gpsLoc; } This is the class that I'm calling from outside the function, I am using this.getApplicationContext() in the call. This is

I need to get current location in China but current location manager is not working in china.Its not showing latitude and longitude. Please tell me how can I get this? Many Thanks Fact 1: All Google services are blocked in China. Fact 2: Although it gives a feeling that AOSP is nothing to do with Google, it's really not. The truth is that once you used NETWORK_PROVIDER to get a location, a message was send to Google location server to check out the location, and returned the location back to you. For the reason every Chinese knows about, you can't access the server, that's why when you combine

THis is my location class with this i am getting location longitude and latitude, but my problem is if i change my current location the longitude and latitude values are not updating. if i store my home location in my device, then my app is taking every time the same longitude and latitude values it is not taking my current location details. ex: I was in new york today and I launched a app and the location was my home in new jersey. public class GetLocation extends Activity { protected LocationManager locationManager; protected Button retrieveLocationButton; Context mContext; Double Longitude,

I need to update the location through GPS in the background even when the phone is in sleep. I am thinking to use AlarmManager to broadcast an Intent and then a receiver will call requestLocationUpdates() on LocationManager. But I am not sure whether it's guaranteed that the GPS location will be updated when the phone is in sleep and an intent will be broadcasted if I registered a PendingIntent when call requestLocationUpdates()? thanks, GPS aren't working when screen is off! You may set alarm for you app, but to get GPS position you must make screen on. Updated at 2016-08-23: Please be note,

This is my code. Please tell me y it is not able to calculate the distance.. In this code res is a long variable which is supposed to store the total distance covered. This code is supposed to calculate distance based on GPS as soon as there is a change in the latitude and longitude.. String serviceString = Context.LOCATION_SERVICE; LocationManager locationManager; locationManager= (LocationManager)getSystemService(serviceString); String provider = LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER; final Location loc1=locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(provider); //Location loc1=new Location(""); String
