I want to find the GPS coordinates of current location on click of a button using GPS_PROVIDER. After clicking on button in place 'A' I will close the app and go to the place B and click the button again to get the B coordinates. How can I do this ? Do I have to define a listener that responds to location updates?
You can use following code for fetching gps data,
package com.gpsexample.location;
import android.location.Location;
import android.location.LocationListener;
import android.os.Bundle;
public class LocListener implements LocationListener
{
private static double lat =0.0;
private static double lon = 0.0;
private static double alt = 0.0;
private static double speed = 0.0;
public static double getLat()
{
return lat;
}
public static double getLon()
{
return lon;
}
public static double getAlt()
{
return alt;
}
public static double getSpeed()
{
return speed;
}
@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location)
{
lat = location.getLatitude();
lon = location.getLongitude();
alt = location.getAltitude();
speed = location.getSpeed();
}
@Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {}
@Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {}
@Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {}
}
