Question

I want to create a MapView application which shows my current location’s latitude and longitude. After getting the current location, get the name of the location. Any help please?

Answer 1

With android it is actually pretty easy in order to get the location from the GPS Service. Use the LocationManager the easiest way to do it

locationManager = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);

customLocationListener = new CustomLocationListener();

locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(
        LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,
        0,
        0,
        ll);

…..A Spagehtti CODE GOES HERE…..

class CustomLocationListener implements LocationListener{ ............
      public void onLocationChanged(Location argLocation) { 
         if(location != null) {     
        int latitude=(int)(argLocation.getLatitude()*1E6);
        int longitude=(int)(argLocation.getLongitude()*1E6);
              }
       } ........ }
