I use LocationClient to get current location and if it fails then use LocationManager.
Some times I don't get current location of device. If it is getting location of device then it keeps getting every time I try and, if it is not able to get location and no matter how many times I try, it never gives the location. Also at the same time if I run code on multiple devices it gives location of some devices but not able to get for rest of the devices.
@Override
public void onConnected(Bundle connectionHint) {
Location loc = locationClient.getLastLocation();
Log.e(TAG, "location using client = " + loc.getLatitude() + ","
+ loc.getLongitude());
// If location is not null
if (loc != null && loc.getLatitude() != 0.0 && loc.getLongitude() != 0.0) {
// code
} else {
// Use location manager to get location
getCurrentLocationUsingLocationManager();
}
}
private void getCurrentLocationUsingLocationManager() {
// Get last known location
Location location = locationManager
.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
// If last known location is recent then use it, otherwise request for
// location update.
if (location != null
&& location.getTime() > Calendar.getInstance()
.getTimeInMillis()
- THRESHOLD_ON_LAST_KNOWN_LOCATION_TIME * 1000)
{
// code
} else
{
LocationListener locationListener = getLocationListener();
// If Network provider is enabled, then start listening for location
// updates
if (locationManager
.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER))
{
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(
LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 0, 0,
locationListener);
}
// If GPS provider is enabled, then start listening for location
// updates
if (locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER))
{
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(
LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0, locationListener);
}
// If none of the location providers is enabled
if (!locationManager
.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER)
&& !locationManager
.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER))
{
Log.d(TAG, "GPS and Network providers are disabled.");
}
}
}
// Initializes LocationListener to listen for location updates and return an
// instance of it.
private LocationListener getLocationListener()
{
// Define a listener that responds to location updates
LocationListener locationListener = new LocationListener()
{
@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location)
{
// If location is not null and its accuracy requirement is
// satisfied then,
if (location != null
&& location.getAccuracy() <= LOCATION_ACCURACY)
{
Log.d(TAG, "Location : " + location.getLatitude() + ", "
+ location.getLongitude());
locationManager.removeUpdates(this);
}
}
@Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status,
Bundle extras)
{
}
@Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider)
{

@Override

return locationListener;
