Question

All I’m trying to do is return the long/lat values from the last know location and if that is null then pull new coords.

I’m very new to this, This is what I have:

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.location.Location;
import android.location.LocationManager;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class GPS extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);


        LocationManager lm = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE); 
        Location location = lm.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
        double longitude = location.getLongitude();
        double latitude = location.getLatitude();


        TextView output;

        output = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.output);


        output.append("\n\nLocations (starting with last known):");
        Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(bestProvider);
        printLocation(location);



    }
}

And don’t forget to add ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION or ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permissions to your AndoidManifest.xml.
