Android Gps location

Question

I enabled the GPS in my device but I am not getting the loaction:

LocationManager lm = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE); 
if(lm.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER))
{
    Location location = lm.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
    if(location!=null)
    {
        showCurrentAddress(location);
    }
}

But here I am gettin location is null and I added the following permissions to my code:

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

Could you please help?

lm.getLastKnownLocation can return null because that is a getter for the last known location.

Try using lm.requestLocationUpdates(LocationListener).
