Question

I tried to implement the code found in this link location find

The truth is I want to get my location using network or GPS, ( I tested it on Network)

private Location getCurrentLocation(){
// Acquire a reference to the system Location Manager
LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) this.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
// Define a listener that responds to location updates
LocationListener locationListener = new LocationListener() {
    public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
      // Called when a new location is found by the network location provider.

        mLatitude = location.getLatitude();
        mLongitude =  location.getLongitude();
        myGeoPoint = GeoTools.makeGeoPoint(mLatitude, mLongitude);
        mapController.animateTo(myGeoPoint);

    }

    public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {}

    public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {}

    public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {}
  };

// Register the listener with the Location Manager to receive location updates
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 0, 0, locationListener);
String locationProvider = LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER;
// Or use LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER

Location lastKnownLocation = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(locationProvider);
if(lastKnownLocation==null){
     locationProvider = LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER;
    // Or use LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER

     lastKnownLocation = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(locationProvider);    
}

return lastKnownLocation;

}

How to return the result:

myLocation = getCurrentLocation();
        if(myLocation != null)
        {
        mLatitude = myLocation.getLatitude();
        mLongitude =  myLocation.getLongitude();
        myGeoPoint = GeoTools.makeGeoPoint(mLatitude, mLongitude);
        mapController.animateTo(myGeoPoint);

        }else {         
            mLatitude =  36.859502;
            mLongitude = 10.168097;
            myGeoPoint = GeoTools.makeGeoPoint(mLatitude, mLongitude);
            mapController.animateTo(myGeoPoint);}

This wasn’t the only code i tried and i dont found any result on a android 2.2 phone.

Any idea about how can i fix it

i check most of the tutorials on the net!!
