LocationManager get Latitude and longtitude

Question

I am trying to take latitude and longitude from GPS

I found these links:

https://www.vogella.com/tutorials/AndroidLocationAPI/article.html

And this is my code:

import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import androidx.core.app.ActivityCompat;

import android.Manifest;

import android.content.Context;
import android.content.pm.PackageManager;
import android.location.Criteria;
import android.location.Location;
import android.location.LocationListener;
import android.location.LocationManager;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements LocationListener {
    private TextView latituteField;
    private TextView longitudeField;
    private LocationManager locationManager;
    private String provider;


    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        latituteField = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.TextView02);
        longitudeField = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.TextView04);

        // Get the location manager
        locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
        // Define the criteria how to select the locatioin provider -> use
        // default
        Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
        provider = locationManager.getBestProvider(criteria, false);

        if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            // TODO: Consider calling
            //    ActivityCompat#requestPermissions
            // here to request the missing permissions, and then overriding
            //   public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions,
            //                                          int[] grantResults)
            // to handle the case where the user grants the permission. See the documentation
            // for ActivityCompat#requestPermissions for more details.
            Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(provider);
            if (location != null) {
                System.out.println("Provider " + provider + " has been selected.");
                onLocationChanged(location);
            } else {
                latituteField.setText("Location not available");
                longitudeField.setText("Location not available");
            }
            return;
        }



    }


    @Override
    protected void onResume() {
        super.onResume();

        if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            // TODO: Consider calling
            //    ActivityCompat#requestPermissions
            // here to request the missing permissions, and then overriding
            //   public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions,
            //                                          int[] grantResults)
            // to handle the case where the user grants the permission. See the documentation
            // for ActivityCompat#requestPermissions for more details.
            locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(provider, 400, 1, this);
            return;
        }

    }
    @Override
    protected void onPause() {
        super.onPause();
        locationManager.removeUpdates(this);
    }
    @Override
    public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
        double lat = (double) (location.getLatitude());
        double lng = (double) (location.getLongitude());
        latituteField.setText(String.valueOf(lat));
        longitudeField.setText(String.valueOf(lng));
    }

    @Override
    public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {

    }

    @Override
    public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
        Toast.makeText(this, "Enabled new provider " + provider,
                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }

    @Override
    public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
        Toast.makeText(this, "Disabled provider " + provider,
                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }}

When I run this app, the app stop

This is the error:

IF it is possible I want to get latitude and longitude from GPS without the internet.

You should do location related queries after checking permission. Its better create another method for starting location service like

private void startLocationservice(){
    Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
    provider = locationManager.getBestProvider(criteria, false);
    if(provider == null){
       provider = LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER;
    }
    locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(provider, 400, 1, this);
}

now in onCreate add this code

if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
    startLocationservice();
    }
 else{
   String [] missingPermissions = {Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION,Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION }; 
   ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(activity, missingPermissions, PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_CODE)
 }

add callback activity

public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, int[] grantResults){
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this,    Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
    startLocationservice();
    }
 }

remove duplicate code from your activity

ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(activity, missingPermissions, PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_CODE);This line give errors — ozan33.java, Aug 20 '20 at 10:49
You can define this integer constants in your activity class — alokHarman, Aug 20 '20 at 11:12

Put following permission to android manifest (for LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER) and request permission as usual using checkSelfPermission method.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="yourpackage.com">
    ...
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
    ...

Then you need request location updates as follow:

LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager)context.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
LocationListener locationListener = new LocationListener();
try 
{
  if (locationManager != null) {
    locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 10000, 0, locationListener);
  }
} catch (Exception e) {
  //logger.error("Can't access GPS_PROVIDER", e);
}

And here's LocationListener class:

private class LocationListener implements android.location.LocationListener {
        @Override
        public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
            //logger.trace(String.format("Location changed: provider=%1$s, lat = %2$.4f, lon = %3$.4f, time = %4$tF %4$tT", location.getProvider(), location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude(), new Date(location.getTime())));
        }

        @Override
        public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
//            logger.trace(provider + " disabled");
        }

        @Override
        public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
//            logger.trace(provider + " enabled");
        }

        @Override
        public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
//            logger.trace(provider + " sent changed to " + Integer.toString(status));
        }
    }
