GPS only gets me in one place and never changes Android
in my application i can use GPS but the problem is it always gets me in one place. Every time I extract the location from this it gives me the same value. The first time it was delivered and I was online, wireless. Then I came out with only GPS, and even if I was a mile away, it was the same. I turned on 3g and it's still the same.
I send my app to my friend, he has a different location and he sees the same no matter where he goes.
Here is my code:
public Location getLocation() {
try {
locationManager = (LocationManager) mContext
.getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
// getting GPS status
isGPSEnabled = locationManager
.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
// getting network status
isNetworkEnabled = locationManager
.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
if (!isGPSEnabled && !isNetworkEnabled) {
// no network provider is enabled
} else {
this.canGetLocation = true;
// First get location from Network Provider
if (isNetworkEnabled) {
// System.out.println("Network enabled");
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(
LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER,
MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES,
MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES, this);
if (locationManager != null) {
location = locationManager
.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
if (location != null) {
latitude = location.getLatitude();
longitude = location.getLongitude();
}
}
}
// if GPS Enabled get lat/long using GPS Services
if (isGPSEnabled) {
// System.out.println("GPS enabled");
if (location == null) {
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(
LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,
MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES,
MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES, this);
Log.d("GPS Enabled", "GPS Enabled");
if (locationManager != null) {
location = locationManager
.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
if (location != null) {
latitude = location.getLatitude();
longitude = location.getLongitude();
}
}
}
}
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return location;
}
@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
// mAct.playToastMessage("Location Changed");
getLocation();
// mAct.setGPSText(location.getLatitude(),location.getLongitude());
}
@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;
}

locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(
LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER,
MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES,
MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES, this);
In this case, you must set 0 and 0 for the MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES and MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES parameter. If set to 0.0. It will give you location update as quickly as possible. If you set a higher value, you will never get an updated value until your condition is satisfied. I hope this can solve your problem.

String Text = "My current location is: " +
"Latitude = " + loc.getLatitude() +
"Longitude = " + loc.getLongitude();
Toast.makeText( getApplicationContext(),Text,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
