Getting null from 'getLastKnownLocation' on SDK

Question

I have a problem related to the Location API.

I tried the following code:

LocationManager lm = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SER         


        

Answer 1

You need the instance Of LocationManager like this:

First Instance:

   LocationManager lm = (LocationManager) this.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);

Wrong:

Location loc = getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);

Correct:

Location loc = lm.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
