    }


}

}

note:the location is enabled in my phone ,I'm connected to wifi ,I added 2 user permission for location,gps enabled

This will almost always return null. The only time it won't is if some other app is already using locations. If you actually need a location, call requestLocationUpdates or requestSingleLocation and wait for the callback. — Gabe Sechan, Jun 19 '17 at 21:19
[Here is a sample app](https://github.com/commonsguy/cw-omnibus/tree/master/Location/Classic) demonstrating the techniques that Mr. Sechan mentioned in the preceding comment. Note that the proper use of `LocationManager` is covered in many books and courses on Android app development. — CommonsWare, Jun 19 '17 at 21:20
