Calculate altitude in Android application

Question

Can any one suggest me how to calculate the altitude in android application.

I am using the "GoogleApiClient" and calling the method location.getAltitude() in onLocationChanged(Location location), but always getting 0.0,

Can any one suggest if above api is returning the correct value or there is any other way to calculate the altitude?

no, at same place some other apps is showing altitude value - 197 meter — Dinakar Prasad Maurya, Oct 07 '16 at 03:35

First check LocationProvider.supportsAltitude() then after check Location.hasAltitude() if it returns true than you will get some altitude instead of 0.0 .
