This android tutorial will help you to get current device location based on GPS service. GPS is a technology except device internet and WiFi that provide device current location. GPS location provider will give our location accurately.
To use of GPS provider follow these steps.
Step-1- Create XML file
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
tools:context=".AndroidLocationActivity" >
<Button
android:id="@+id/btnGPSShowLocation"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/btnNWShowLocation"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_marginTop="36dp"
android:minWidth="100dp"
android:text="Show Location\n(GPS)" />
</RelativeLayout>
Step-2- Create Activity class
public class LocationActivity extends Activity {
Button btnGPSShowLocation;
Button btnNWShowLocation;
AppLocationService appLocationService;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
appLocationService = new AppLocationService(
AndroidLocationActivity.this);
btnGPSShowLocation = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnGPSShowLocation);
btnGPSShowLocation.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
Location gpsLocation = appLocationService
.getLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
if (gpsLocation != null) {
double latitude = gpsLocation.getLatitude();
double longitude = gpsLocation.getLongitude();
getCurrentAddress(latitude,longitude);
Toast.makeText(
getApplicationContext(),
"Mobile Location (GPS): \nLatitude: " + latitude
+ "\nLongitude: " + longitude,
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} else {
showSettingsAlert("GPS");
}
}
});
}
protected void getCurrentAddress(double latitude, double longitude) {
Log.d("callingggggmethod","..............");
Geocoder geocoder;
List<Address> addresses;
geocoder = new Geocoder(this, Locale.getDefault());
try {
addresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(latitude, longitude, 1);
String address = addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(0); // If any additional address line present than only, check with max available address lines by getMaxAddressLineIndex()
String city = addresses.get(0).getLocality();
String state = addresses.get(0).getAdminArea();
String country = addresses.get(0).getCountryName();
String postalCode = addresses.get(0).getPostalCode();
String knownName = addresses.get(0).getFeatureName(); // Only if available else return NULL
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} // Here 1 represent max location result to returned, by documents it recommended 1 to 5
}
}
Step-3- Create location service class
public class AppLocationService extends Service implements LocationListener {
protected LocationManager locationManager;
Location location;
private static final long MIN_DISTANCE_FOR_UPDATE = 10;
private static final long MIN_TIME_FOR_UPDATE = 1000 * 60 * 2;
public AppLocationService(Context context) {
locationManager = (LocationManager) context
.getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
}
public Location getLocation(String provider) {
if (locationManager.isProviderEnabled(provider)) {
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(provider,
MIN_TIME_FOR_UPDATE, MIN_DISTANCE_FOR_UPDATE, this);
if (locationManager != null) {
location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(provider);
return location;
}
}
return null;
}
@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
}
@Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
}
@Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
}
@Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
}
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0) {
return null;
}
}
