Answer 3

USe a LocationManager and set the appropriate provider, GPS or NETWORK. you can get periodic updates or a single update using the requestLocationUpdates() and the getLastKnownLocation() methods respectively. Lastly, get a Location object and retrieve the latitude, longitude by calling the required methods on the Location object.
