locationmanager

Is there a way to access the GPS once instead of having a looper that constantly checks for location updates? In my scenario all I'm interested in is finding the current co-ordinates and not a continuous connection with the GPS satellite. Does anyone have any ideas how this can be done? Thanks in advance. First check if the last know location is recent. If not, I believe you must to set up onLocationChanged listener, but once you get your first valid location you can always stop the stream of updates. Addition public class Example extends Activity implements LocationListener { LocationManager

I am using NETWORK_PROVIDER to get latitude and longitude of the place. I'v already check the setting in the "location & security" and enable "use wireless networks". But "isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER)" always return false . Can anyone help me? Thank you in advance! Here is my code : LocationManager locManager=(LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE); boolean isEnableGPS=locManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER); boolean isEnableNTW=locManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER); Log.d(TAG, isEnableGPS+", "+isEnableNTW)

One user of my app reported that app tells network for location is off even he did turn it on. He sent me few screen shots and they made me think; LocationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER) is not working properly.

I suppose my code is working just fine but i get an error regarding the permissions that are being used by the application. I am pretty sure that i have added the permissions in the manifest file. Can someone tell me what's wrong? Here is my code. MainActivity.java LocationManager locationManager ; String provider; @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); // Getting LocationManager object

I'm trying to get notifications if the status of GPS_PROVIDER changes. I found the following code here (http://hejp.co.uk/android/android-gps-example/), but I'm not getting notifications. Right now I'm in a building and can't get GPS signal, so wouldn't I get the notification "Status Changed: Out of Service"? When is onStatusChanged being called? What am I doing wrong? Thanks, @Override public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) { /* This is called when the GPS status alters */ switch (status) { case LocationProvider.OUT_OF_SERVICE: Log.v(tag, "Status Changed: Out
