Android: How to initialize a variable of type “Location” (other than making it equal to null)

Question

I\'m looking to test some code I\'ve written and to do so I need to construct a variable of type Location and to give it a long / lat value but I\'m unsure how I would do so. An

Answer 1

You can write a method:

Location createNewLocation(double longitude, double latitude) {
    Location location = new Location("dummyprovider");
    location.setLongitude(longitude);
    location.setLatitude(latitude);
    return location;
}

And then call it:

Location myLoc = createNewLocation(dLong, dLati);

Or you can use string with Double.parse():

Location myLoc = createNewLocation(Double.parse("s.Long"), Double.parse("s.Lati"));
