How to get the current location latitude and longitude in android

AndroidAndroid ServiceAndroid Location

Android Problem Overview


In my application, I get the current location's latitude and longitude when application is open, but not when the application is closed.

I am using Service class to get the current location latitude and longitude in my application.

Please tell me how to get the current location latitude and longitude even when application is closed

Solution 1 - Android

Before couple of months, I created GPSTracker library to help me to get GPS locations. In case you need to view GPSTracker > getLocation

Demo

AndroidManifest.xml

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

Activity

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

	TextView textview;

	@Override
	protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
		super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
		setContentView(R.layout.geo_locations);

		// check if GPS enabled
		GPSTracker gpsTracker = new GPSTracker(this);

		if (gpsTracker.getIsGPSTrackingEnabled())
		{
			String stringLatitude = String.valueOf(gpsTracker.latitude);
			textview = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.fieldLatitude);
			textview.setText(stringLatitude);

			String stringLongitude = String.valueOf(gpsTracker.longitude);
			textview = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.fieldLongitude);
			textview.setText(stringLongitude);

			String country = gpsTracker.getCountryName(this);
			textview = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.fieldCountry);
			textview.setText(country);

			String city = gpsTracker.getLocality(this);
			textview = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.fieldCity);
			textview.setText(city);

			String postalCode = gpsTracker.getPostalCode(this);
			textview = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.fieldPostalCode);
			textview.setText(postalCode);

			String addressLine = gpsTracker.getAddressLine(this);
			textview = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.fieldAddressLine);
			textview.setText(addressLine);
		}
		else
		{
			// can't get location
            // GPS or Network is not enabled
            // Ask user to enable GPS/network in settings
			gpsTracker.showSettingsAlert();
		}
	}

	@Override
	public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
		// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
		getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.varna_lab_geo_locations, menu);
		return true;
	}
}

None of the above worked for me so I made a tutorial and wrote it for myself since I lost many hours trying to implement this. Hope this helps someone:

How to use Google Play Services LOCATION API to get current latitude & longitude

  1. Add to your AndroidManifest.xml file the ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION & ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION:

     <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.example.appname" >
     
         <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
         <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
     
         <application...
    
  2. Go to app/build.gradlefile and add the following dependency (make sure to use the latest available version):

     dependencies {
         //IMPORTANT: make sure to use the newest version. 11.0.1 is old AF
         compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:11.0.1
     }
     
    
  3. In your activity implement the following:

     import com.google.android.gms.common.ConnectionResult;
     import com.google.android.gms.common.api.GoogleApiClient;
     import com.google.android.gms.common.api.GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks;

The Beginner’s Guide to Location in Android

Note: This doesn't seem to work in the emulator but works just fine on a device

Solution 3 - Android

Use Location Listener Method

@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location loc) {
Double lat = loc.getLatitude();
Double lng = loc.getLongitude();
}

Solution 5 - Android

**The activity should implements LocationListener

In onCreate(), write the following code **

  Boolean network = haveNetworkConnection();
	Log.e("network", "---------->" + network);
	if (!network) {
		Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Network is not available",
				3000).show();

	}

	SupportMapFragment supportMapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
			.findFragmentById(R.id.googleMap);
	googleMap = supportMapFragment.getMap();
	googleMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
	
	
	LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
	locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 30000, 0, this);
	
	
	
	
		if (!locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER)
			&& !locationManager
					.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER)) {

		

		 TextView title = new TextView(context);
		 title.setText("Location Services Not Active");
		    title.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLACK);
		    title.setPadding(10, 15, 15, 10);
		    title.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
		    title.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
		    title.setTextSize(22);
		
		
		    AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);


		
		
		builder.setCustomTitle(title);


		// builder.setTitle("Location Services Not Active");
		builder.setMessage("Please enable Location Services and GPS");

		builder.setPositiveButton("Turn on",
				new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
					public void onClick(DialogInterface dialogInterface,
							int i) {
						// Show location settings when the user acknowledges

						dialog.cancel();
					}
				});

		builder.show();

	}

	Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
	String bestProvider = locationManager.getBestProvider(criteria, true);
	Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(bestProvider);

	if (location == null) {

		Log.e("locatin", "location--" + location);

		Log.e("latitude at beginning",

Write a method haveNetworkConnection

private boolean haveNetworkConnection() {
	boolean haveConnectedWifi = false;
	boolean haveConnectedMobile = false;

	ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
	NetworkInfo[] netInfo = cm.getAllNetworkInfo();
	for (NetworkInfo ni : netInfo) {
		if (ni.getTypeName().equalsIgnoreCase("WIFI"))
			if (ni.isConnected())
				haveConnectedWifi = true;
		if (ni.getTypeName().equalsIgnoreCase("MOBILE"))
			if (ni.isConnected())
				haveConnectedMobile = true;
	}
	return haveConnectedWifi || haveConnectedMobile;
}



@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {

	
	LatLng latLng = new LatLng(latitude, longitude);
	googleMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
			.position(latLng)
			.title("Current LOC")
			.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory
					.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_RED)));

	googleMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(latLng));
	googleMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(17));


}

@Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
	// TODO Auto-generated method stub

@Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
	// TODO Auto-generated method stub

Here is Android Location library you can find your current location without using Google account or subscription.

Find this link and download repository

Take care and Enjoy...

Solution 7 - Android

try this, hope it will help you to get the current location, every time the location changes.

public class MyClass implements LocationListener {
    double currentLatitude, currentLongitude;

    public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
        currentLatitude = location.getLatitude();
        currentLongitude = location.getLongitude();
    }
}

Solution 8 - Android

for this porous , you can use flowing code :

public class GetLocationActivity extends BaseActivity {
//for getting update of location
FusedLocationProviderClient fusedLocationClient;
//new callback result requesting in activity
ActivityResultLauncher<String[]> locationPermissionRequest =
        registerForActivityResult(new ActivityResultContracts
                        .RequestMultiplePermissions(), result -> {
                    Boolean fineLocationGranted = result.get(
                            Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION);
                    Boolean coarseLocationGranted = result.get(
                            Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION);
                    if (fineLocationGranted != null && fineLocationGranted) {
                        // Precise location access granted.
                        if (coarseLocationGranted != null && coarseLocationGranted) {
                            // Only approximate location access granted.
                            //chek is Gps is On or Off and ask from user to enable is
                            checkGPS();
                        }
                    } else {
                        // No location access granted.
