Use google client api for accurate location

you can refer- https://www.androidhive.info/2015/02/android-location-api-using-google-play-services/

You can use FusedLocationProviderClient from Google location api just apply location library in gradle(app level).

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:11.6.0'

and at the bottom of app level gradle add this line

apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

Here is my code in mainActivity

public class MainActivity extends Service implements GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks, GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener {
LocationRequest mLocationRequest;
GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;
Location mLastLocation;
FusedLocationProviderClient mFusedLocationClient;

private static final String TAG="Logs Details";


@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {

     buildGoogleApiClient();
    mFusedLocationClient = LocationServices.getFusedLocationProviderClient(this);
    return super.onStartCommand(intent, flags, startId);

}

@Override
public void onCreate() {
    super.onCreate();

}


@Nullable
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
    return null;
}
protected synchronized void buildGoogleApiClient() {
    mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
            .addConnectionCallbacks(this)
            .addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
            .addApi(LocationServices.API)
            .build();
    mGoogleApiClient.connect();
}


@Override
public void onConnected(@Nullable Bundle bundle) {
    Log.e(TAG,"app is connected");

    mLocationRequest = new LocationRequest();
    mLocationRequest.setInterval(10000);
    mLocationRequest.setFastestInterval(10000);
    mLocationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
    if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this,
            android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)
            == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
        mFusedLocationClient.requestLocationUpdates(mLocationRequest, mLocationCallback, Looper.myLooper());
    }

}
LocationCallback mLocationCallback = new LocationCallback() {
    @Override
    public void onLocationResult(LocationResult locationResult) {
        for (Location location : locationResult.getLocations()) {
            mLastLocation = location;

            Log.e("latitude",location.latitude);
            Log.e("longitude",location.longitude);



        }
    }



};

@Override
public void onConnectionSuspended(int i) {

}

@Override
public void onConnectionFailed(@NonNull ConnectionResult connectionResult) {

}

}

Hope this helps.:)

I am using fused API but not getting exact lat long all the time but getting much better then GPS . lat long getting only up to 7 decimal point using fused API can i get decimal point of lat long more then 7 using fused API. — Ankesh Roy, Dec 05 '17 at 10:09
It will not give always the exact lat lang but it's more accurate as per my experience — AkashK, Dec 05 '17 at 10:11

Using Fused location api of google we can get more exact lat and long but not 100% always.Fused location api is better then GPS tracker.
