I want to get latitude and longitude without using android Location Service and Google Api. So Is there any way to get latitude and longitude from connected wifi router ?

First of all get the IP Address using the following code: 

 public String getIpAddr() {
   WifiManager wifiManager = (WifiManager) getSystemService(WIFI_SERVICE);
   WifiInfo wifiInfo = wifiManager.getConnectionInfo();
   int ip = wifiInfo.getIpAddress();

   String ipString = String.format("%d.%d.%d.%d", (ip & 0xff), (ip >> 8 & 0xff), (ip >> 16 & 0xff), (ip >> 24 & 0xff));
   return ipString;
}

Please Note: You need to add android.permission.INTERNET and android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE in your AndroidManifest.xml as to access the code.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />

After this use some 3rd party web service which gives you langitude and latitude by providing IP. Example : http://www.geoipservice.asmx/GetGeoIP?IPAddress= (PASS IP AS STRING)

Hope you got your answer!!!

  • Create a free account on [Hostinger](http://www.hostinger.in/) or any similar and deploy your code there... And use the IP provided by Hostinger .. :) IF USING A WEBSERVICE ... or else use [Appetize](https://appetize.io/) to debug you Android App ... :) – prashant0205 Jun 14 '16 at 06:33

  • Go to Wi-Fi Setting in your phone... Open the Menu and Go to Advanced and check the IP Address there .. or if any trouble doing this download an app to find your current IP ... – prashant0205 Jun 14 '16 at 06:53
  • Hey i am able to find IP address ,IP address is not the problem ,I think Problem is that my wifi is not allowing to find the location.Or the problem may be the web service `ip-api.com/json/172.217.4.227` is not able to access my wifi IP address – Android dev Jun 14 '16 at 07:03
