Getting the location in Android programatically
- by steveo225
I know this has been asked a ton, so my apologies. I have the following code, and cannot get the location, always a null response. I am trying to avoid a LocationListener in this instance because I am already using an update Service, and the location really doesn't have to be that fine, so the last known location is good enough. Thanks for the help.
LocationManager lm = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
String providers[] = {"gps", "network", "passive"};
Location loc = null;
for(String x : providers) {
loc = lm.getLastKnownLocation(x);
if(loc != null) break;
}
if(loc != null) {
// do something, never reached
}
