I want to use a constructor that calls a method points() . This method calculates the latitude and longitude of 3 points. I need those values in another class. Hence I am trying to call the method in the constructor.
Please help me with the syntax for this.
This is my class FirstActivity

I tried using these:
1)
FirstActivity()
{
points();
}
2)
FirstActivity(Context context)
{
this.mContext = context;
points();
}
I am getting error with both: “Application stopped working…”

Your points function contains this call
latuser = gps.getLatitude();However, the
gpsvariable is not initialized yet. The creation of thegpsobject is made only later and ONLY if the user presses a button you add to the activity in theonCreateevent.Create the gps earlier… eg in
points()or create a function that you will use throughout the class instead of plain call of
gps.
