In your android settings, you can allow the use of your wifi network to obtain your location in the location services menu. Then, when you use LocationManager to start location services (locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 0, 0, this)), it will use your wifi to find it. Note that you will also need to add these lines at the end of your manifest file (before </Manifest>):

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