How can I check the current status of the GPS receiver?

Question

How can I check the current status of the GPS receiver? I already checked the LocationListener onStatusChanged method but somehow it seems that is not working,

Answer 1

With LocationManager you can getLastKnownLocation() after you getBestProvider(). This gives you a Location object, which has the methods getAccuracy() in meters and getTime() in UTC milliseconds

Does this give you enough info?

Or perhaps you could iterate over the LocationProviders and find out if each one meetsCriteria( ACCURACY_COARSE )
