latit

Answer 1

to conver from decimals to degrees you can do as follow

String strLongitude = Location.convert(location.getLongitude(), Location.FORMAT_DEGREES);
String strLatitude = Location.convert(location.getLatitude(), Location.FORMAT_DEGREES);

reference is android developer site.

Edit

I have tried following thing and get the output:

strLongitude = Location.convert(location.getLongitude(), Location.FORMAT_DEGREES);
strLatitude = Location.convert(location.getLatitude(), Location.FORMAT_DEGREES);

OUTPUT : Long: 73.16584: Lat: 22.29924

strLongitude = Location.convert(location.getLongitude(), Location.FORMAT_SECONDS);
strLatitude = Location.convert(location.getLatitude(), Location.FORMAT_SECONDS);

OUTPUT : Long: 73:9:57.03876: Lat: 22:17:57.26472

strLongitude = Location.convert(location.getLongitude(), Location.FORMAT_MINUTES);
strLatitude = Location.convert(location.getLatitude(), Location.FORMAT_MINUTES);

OUTPUT : Long: 73:9.95065: Lat: 22:17.95441

Try different option as per your requirement
