Answer 1

Use this technique :

LocationManager locManager = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);

boolean network_enabled = locManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);

Location location;

if(network_enabled){

   location = locManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);

if(location!=null){
   longitude = location.getLongitude();
   latitude = location.getLatitude();
    }                
}

In this case you even no need to on GPS only your mobile network will do.

Don't forget to give the following permission in Manifest:
