There is an answer already here:
Here is the code he uses to get GPS with location manager.
To make it better, I'll post a snippet. Consider it is in try-catch:
boolean gps_enabled = false;
boolean network_enabled = false;
LocationManager lm = (LocationManager) mCtx
.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
gps_enabled = lm.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
network_enabled = lm.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
Location net_loc = null, gps_loc = null, finalLoc = null;
if (gps_enabled)
gps_loc = lm.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
if (network_enabled)
net_loc = lm.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
if (gps_loc != null && net_loc != null) {
if (gps_loc.getAccuracy() >= net_loc.getAccuracy())
finalLoc = gps_loc;
else
finalLoc = net_loc;
// I used this just to get an idea (if both avail, its upto you which you want to take as I taken location with more accuracy)
} else {
if (gps_loc != null) {
finalLoc = net_loc;
} else if (net_loc != null) {
finalLoc = gps_loc;
}
}
