OnLocationChanged callback is never called

Question

I am trying to get the users current location using the LocationManager. I have done a lot of research and can\'t seem to find anyone with the same problem. T

Answer 1

Replacing

LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER

with

LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER

solved my problem.

Here is code snippet of my location manager

 LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) getActivity().getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);

//Check for Location permissions, Marshmallow and above

        if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(getActivity(), Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED
                && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(getActivity(), Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            // TODO: Consider calling
            //    ActivityCompat#requestPermissions
            // here to request the missing permissions, and then overriding
            //   public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions,
            //                                          int[] grantResults)
            // to handle the case where the user grants the permission. See the documentation
            // for ActivityCompat#requestPermissions for more details.

            Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Not Enough Permission", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            return;
        }

//Get current location to start with

        Location myLocation = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.PASSIVE_PROVIDER);

        currentLatitude = myLocation.getLatitude();
        currentLongitude = myLocation.getLongitude();

// Request location update using LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER

        locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER,
                MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES,
                MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES, MapFragment.this);
