I am working on app. When user click on button he will get current location using GPS. All is working fine but one problem.

Problem

There might be some location where gps will not work...like closed area...and gps can not find location...at that time it will return previously know location...Previously known location may be too older or wrong. so at that time I want no location found instead of last location.

Is there any way to check if fix is available or not ?

What method are you using to start listening for location updates? – 3mpty May 12 '14 at 06:48
@3mpty I am using LocationManager with LocationListener. – Ketan Ahir May 12 '14 at 06:50
Methods are gps / fused (Network) – Shereef Marzouk May 12 '14 at 06:53
I think that there is no option in location requestLocationUpdates to specify how long it will wait for fix before using last know location. You only can specify min time of searching. – 3mpty May 12 '14 at 06:53
