I am using the above code to find the User Location. 1.I am getting always GPS as the best provider according to my criteria but that is fine to me. 2.Thing is that why am i not able to get any location values ? Even with Location location = locManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER); i am not getting any thing. Please help me in getting the location values.
