Geolocation of android device

Question

How can I get continuous geo-location of android device programmatically ?

I'm having troubles of getting position coordinates continuously of android device and show the navigation move according to the geolocation.

Answer 1

According to Android documentation :

// Acquire a reference to the system Location Manager LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) this.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);

// Define a listener that responds to location updates LocationListener locationListener = new LocationListener() { public void onLocationChanged(Location location) { // Called when a new location is found by the network location provider. makeUseOfNewLocation(location); }

 public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {} public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {} public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {} };

// Register the listener with the Location Manager to receive location updates

locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER,
> 0, 0, locationListener);
