How to get Latitude and Longitude of the mobile device in android?

How do I get the current Latitude and Longitude of the mobile device in android using location tools?

Use the LocationManager.

LocationManager lm = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE); 
Location location = lm.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
double longitude = location.getLongitude();
double latitude = location.getLatitude();

The call to getLastKnownLocation() doesn't block - which means it will return null if no position is currently available - so you probably want to have a look at passing a LocationListener to the requestLocationUpdates() method instead, which will give you asynchronous updates of your location.

private final LocationListener locationListener = new LocationListener() {
    public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
        longitude = location.getLongitude();
        latitude = location.getLatitude();
    }
}

lm.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 2000, 10, locationListener);

You'll need to give your application the ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission if you want to use GPS.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />

You may also want to add the ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION permission for when GPS isn't available and select your location provider with the getBestProvider() method.

Here is the class LocationFinder to find the GPS location. This class will call MyLocation, which will do the business.

LocationFinder

public class LocationFinder extends Activity {

    int increment = 4;
    MyLocation myLocation = new MyLocation();

    // private ProgressDialog dialog;

    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
	    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
	    setContentView(R.layout.intermediat);
	    myLocation.getLocation(getApplicationContext(), locationResult);

	    boolean r = myLocation.getLocation(getApplicationContext(),
			locationResult);

	    startActivity(new Intent(LocationFinder.this,
	    // Nearbyhotelfinder.class));
			GPSMyListView.class));
	    finish();
    }

    public LocationResult locationResult = new LocationResult() {

	    @Override
	    public void gotLocation(Location location) {
		    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
		    double Longitude = location.getLongitude();
		    double Latitude = location.getLatitude();

		    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Got Location",
				Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

		    try {
			    SharedPreferences locationpref = getApplication()
					.getSharedPreferences("location", MODE_WORLD_READABLE);
			    SharedPreferences.Editor prefsEditor = locationpref.edit();
			    prefsEditor.putString("Longitude", Longitude + "");
			    prefsEditor.putString("Latitude", Latitude + "");
			    prefsEditor.commit();
			    System.out.println("SHARE PREFERENCE ME PUT KAR DIYA.");
		    } catch (Exception e) {
			    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
			    e.printStackTrace();
		    }
	    }
    };

    // handler for the background updating

}

MyLocation

public class MyLocation {

    Timer timer1;
    LocationManager lm;
    LocationResult locationResult;
    boolean gps_enabled=false;
    boolean network_enabled=false;

    public boolean getLocation(Context context, LocationResult result)
    {
        //I use LocationResult callback class to pass location value from MyLocation to user code.
        locationResult=result;
        if(lm==null)
            lm = (LocationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);

        //exceptions will be thrown if provider is not permitted.
        try{gps_enabled=lm.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);}catch(Exception ex){}
        try{network_enabled=lm.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);}catch(Exception ex){}
    
        //Toast.makeText(context, gps_enabled+" "+network_enabled,     Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    
        //don't start listeners if no provider is enabled
        if(!gps_enabled && !network_enabled)
            return false;

        if(gps_enabled)
            lm.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0, locationListenerGps);
        if(network_enabled)
            lm.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 0, 0, locationListenerNetwork);
        timer1=new Timer();
    
  
        timer1.schedule(new GetLastLocation(), 10000);
    //    Toast.makeText(context, " Yaha Tak AAya", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        return true;
    }

    LocationListener locationListenerGps = new LocationListener() {
        public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
            timer1.cancel();
            locationResult.gotLocation(location);
            lm.removeUpdates(this);
            lm.removeUpdates(locationListenerNetwork);
        }
        public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {}
        public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {}
        public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {}
    };

    LocationListener locationListenerNetwork = new LocationListener() {
        public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
            timer1.cancel();
            locationResult.gotLocation(location);
            lm.removeUpdates(this);
            lm.removeUpdates(locationListenerGps);
        }
        public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {}
        public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {}
        public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {}
    };

    class GetLastLocation extends TimerTask {
	    @Override

        public void run() {
    	
		    //Context context = getClass().getgetApplicationContext();
             Location net_loc=null, gps_loc=null;
             if(gps_enabled)
                 gps_loc=lm.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
             if(network_enabled)
                 net_loc=lm.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);

             //if there are both values use the latest one
             if(gps_loc!=null && net_loc!=null){
                 if(gps_loc.getTime()>net_loc.getTime())
                     locationResult.gotLocation(gps_loc);
                 else
                     locationResult.gotLocation(net_loc);
                 return;
             }

             if(gps_loc!=null){

With google things changes very often: non of the previous answers worked for me.

based on this google training here is how you do it using

> fused location provider

this requires Set Up Google Play Services

Activity class

public class GPSTrackerActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements
    GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks,     
 GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener {

private GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;
Location mLastLocation;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    if (mGoogleApiClient == null) {
        mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
                .addConnectionCallbacks(this)
                .addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
                .addApi(LocationServices.API)
                .build();
    }

}

protected void onStart() {
    mGoogleApiClient.connect();
    super.onStart();
}

protected void onStop() {
    mGoogleApiClient.disconnect();
    super.onStop();
}

@Override
public void onConnected(Bundle bundle) {
    try {

        mLastLocation = LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation(
                mGoogleApiClient);
        if (mLastLocation != null) {
            Intent intent = new Intent();
            intent.putExtra("Longitude", mLastLocation.getLongitude());
            intent.putExtra("Latitude", mLastLocation.getLatitude());
            setResult(1,intent);
            finish();

        }
    } catch (SecurityException e) {

    }

}

@Override
public void onConnectionSuspended(int i) {

}

@Override
public void onConnectionFailed(ConnectionResult connectionResult) {

}
}

usage

in you activity

 Intent intent = new Intent(context, GPSTrackerActivity.class);
    startActivityForResult(intent,1);

And this method

 protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    if(requestCode == 1){
        Bundle extras = data.getExtras();
        Double longitude = extras.getDouble("Longitude");
        Double latitude = extras.getDouble("Latitude");
    }
}

you can got Current latlng using this

`

  public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
  private LocationManager locationManager;
  private String provider;
  private MyLocationListener mylistener;
  private Criteria criteria;
@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB)
@SuppressLint("NewApi")
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
	super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
	setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

			
			 locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
			  // Define the criteria how to select the location provider
			  criteria = new Criteria();
			  criteria.setAccuracy(Criteria.ACCURACY_COARSE);	//default
			  
			  // user defines the criteria
			 
			  criteria.setCostAllowed(false); 
			  // get the best provider depending on the criteria
			  provider = locationManager.getBestProvider(criteria, false);
		    
			  // the last known location of this provider
			  Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(provider);

			  mylistener = new MyLocationListener();
		
			  if (location != null) {
				  mylistener.onLocationChanged(location);
			  } else {
				  // leads to the settings because there is no last known location
				  Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS);
				  startActivity(intent);
			  }
			  // location updates: at least 1 meter and 200millsecs change
			  locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(provider, 200, 1, mylistener);
			String a=""+location.getLatitude();
			Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), a, 222).show();
	
}
			
private class MyLocationListener implements LocationListener {
	
	  @Override
	  public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
		// Initialize the location fields


		  
		  Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,  ""+location.getLatitude()+location.getLongitude(),
			        Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()  
		  
	  }

	  @Override
	  public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
		  Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, provider + "'s status changed to "+status +"!",
			        Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
	  }

	  @Override
	  public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
		  Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Provider " + provider + " enabled!",
	        Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

	  }

	  @Override
	  public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
		  Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Provider " + provider + " disabled!",
	        Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
	  }
  }			

`

Above solutions is also correct, but some time if location is null then it crash the app or not working properly. The best way to get Latitude and Longitude of android is:

 Geocoder geocoder;
     String bestProvider;
     List<Address> user = null;
     double lat;
     double lng;
    		
    LocationManager lm = (LocationManager) activity.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
        
     Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
     bestProvider = lm.getBestProvider(criteria, false);
     Location location = lm.getLastKnownLocation(bestProvider);
    
     if (location == null){
         Toast.makeText(activity,"Location Not found",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
      }else{
    	geocoder = new Geocoder(activity);
    	try {
    	    user = geocoder.getFromLocation(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude(), 1);
    	lat=(double)user.get(0).getLatitude();
    	lng=(double)user.get(0).getLongitude();
    	System.out.println(" DDD lat: " +lat+",  longitude: "+lng);
    				
    	}catch (Exception e) {
    			e.printStackTrace();
    	}
    }

Best way is

Add permission manifest file

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>

Then you can get GPS location or if GPS location is not available then this function return NETWORK location

    public static Location getLocationWithCheckNetworkAndGPS(Context mContext) {
    LocationManager lm = (LocationManager)
            mContext.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
    assert lm != null;
    isGpsEnabled = lm.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
    isNetworkLocationEnabled = lm.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);

    Location networkLoacation = null, gpsLocation = null, finalLoc = null;
    if (isGpsEnabled)
        if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(mContext, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(mContext, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
         
            return null;
        }gpsLocation = lm.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
    if (isNetworkLocationEnabled)
        networkLoacation = lm.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);

    if (gpsLocation != null && networkLoacation != null) {

        //smaller the number more accurate result will
        if (gpsLocation.getAccuracy() > networkLoacation.getAccuracy())
            return finalLoc = networkLoacation;
        else
            return finalLoc = gpsLocation;

    } else {

        if (gpsLocation != null) {
            return finalLoc = gpsLocation;
        } else if (networkLoacation != null) {
            return finalLoc = networkLoacation;
        }
    }
    return finalLoc;
}

You can use FusedLocationProvider

For using Fused Location Provider in your project you will have to add the google play services location dependency in our app level build.gradle file

dependencies {
   implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
   ...
   ...
   ...
   implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:17.0.0'
}

Permissions in Manifest

Apps that use location services must request location permissions. Android offers two location permissions: ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION and ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>

As you may know that from Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) you must request permissions for important access in the runtime. Cause it’s a security issue where while installing an application, user may not clearly understand about an important permission of their device.

ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(
    this,
    arrayOf(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION),
    PERMISSION_ID
)

Then you can use the FusedLocationProvider Client to get the updated location in your desired place.

    mFusedLocationClient.lastLocation.addOnCompleteListener(this) { task ->
        var location: Location? = task.result
        if (location == null) {
            requestNewLocationData()
        } else {
            findViewById<TextView>(R.id.latTextView).text = location.latitude.toString()
            findViewById<TextView>(R.id.lonTextView).text = location.longitude.toString()
        }
    }

You can also check certain configuration like if the device has location settings on or not. You can also check the article on Detect Current Latitude & Longitude using Kotlin in Android for more functionality. If there is no cache location then it will catch the current location using:

private fun requestNewLocationData() {
    var mLocationRequest = LocationRequest()
    mLocationRequest.priority = LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY
    mLocationRequest.interval = 0
    mLocationRequest.fastestInterval = 0
    mLocationRequest.numUpdates = 1

    mFusedLocationClient = LocationServices.getFusedLocationProviderClient(this)
    mFusedLocationClient!!.requestLocationUpdates(
            mLocationRequest, mLocationCallback,
            Looper.myLooper()
    )
}
