gps - Longitude and latitude GPSTracker Android always return 0,0

Question

I am implementing GPS Tracker for getting Longitude and latitude from http://www.androidhive.info/2012/07/android-gps-location-manager-tutorial/.

To get value Longitude and latitude, i use this code:

    gps = new GPSTracker(context);

    latitude_user= gps.getLatitude();
    longitude_user  = gps.getLongitude();

Some device always return 0,0 value, for some devices it works well... so how to fix it ?

this is the GPS Tracker.class

package com.tracking.bus.maps;

    private final Context mContext;

    // flag for GPS status
    boolean isGPSEnabled = false;

    // flag for network status
    boolean isNetworkEnabled = false;

    // flag for GPS status
    boolean canGetLocation = false;

    Location location; // location
    double latitude; // latitude
    double longitude; // longitude

    // The minimum distance to change Updates in meters
    private static final long MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES = 10; // 10 meters

    // The minimum time between updates in milliseconds
    private static final long MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES = 1000 * 60 * 1; // 1 minute

Answer 1

You're not updating received location in onLocationChanged(), try this:

@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
    this.location = location;
    getLatitude();
    getLongitude();
}
