How do I get the current GPS location programmatically in Android?

Got a code below.. Will this get me my own location..?

public class MyLocationListener implements LocationListener {  

public static double latitude;  
public static double longitude;  

public void onLocationChanged(Location loc)  
{  
    loc.getLatitude();  
    loc.getLongitude();  
    latitude=loc.getLatitude();  
    longitude=loc.getLongitude();  
}  

public void onProviderDisabled(String provider)  
{  
    //print "Currently GPS is Disabled";  
}  
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider)  
{  
    //print "GPS got Enabled";  
}  
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras)  
{  
}  
}  

I know this has been asked several times.. Please help me with the code…

You may use this code to start listing for GPS updates and do something with the data you receive. It also prints messages in the log file for easy debugging. Please, note, this function does not return any results, it only starts listening to GPS. Results will be provided some time later in // do something here with the new location data part, when you may save them somewhere.

private void getGpsData() {
    locationManager = (LocationManager) owner.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);

    locationListener = new LocationListener() {
        public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
            Log.i(TAG, "location change:" + location.toString());

            String longitude = "Londitude: " + location.getLongitude();
            String latitude = "Latitude: " + location.getLatitude();

            if( location.hasAccuracy() ) {  // good enough?
                // do something here with the new location data
                ....
                //
                Log.i(TAG, "GPS listener done");
                locationManager.removeUpdates(this);    // don't forget this to save battery
            }
        }

        public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
            Log.i(TAG, provider + " status:" + status);
        }

        public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
            Log.i(TAG, provider + " enabled");
        }

        public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
            Log.i(TAG, provider + " disabled");
        }
    };
    Log.i(TAG,"GPS listener started");
    locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0, locationListener );
}
