I need to get the device’s current geographical location.

Scenario : if I am in US..:

my device location should be US

Same as in the case, when I am in UK :

my device location should be UK

I need the sample code for finding this geographical location.(location determined by Network Location Provider)

If you want to get the current country code, you want to look into Geocoder which you can use to get an Address which provides a getCountryCode method. Something like this

Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(this);
List<Address> addresses = null;

try {
    addresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(
        location.getLatitude(),
        location.getLongitude(), 1);
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

if (addresses != null && addresses.size() > 0) {
    Address address = addresses.get(0);
    String countryCode = address.getCountryCode();
}

As far as getting the current latitude and longitude, there is plenty of information out there on how to do that
