Calculate Speed using GPS in Android

Question

I want to develop an Android App, which will give me the speed with which I am travelling. Please suggest me some webSites from where I can get some help.

I know there is a function like Location.getSpeed(). But don't know how exactly it works.

You should find documentation describing how the function is used. Where have you looked? — , Jun 01 '11 at 12:02
location.setSpeed() not working. You should calculate it like distance/time — MSaudi, Feb 05 '14 at 12:40

First read this article to learn how to get GPS fixes.

You can call getSpeed() in your location listener, in the onLocationChanged() callback.

getSpeed() data is always less that the bike top speed.. Eg for 72 KMPH getSpeed showed 65 KMPH – Prasanna Anbazhagan Dec 24 '16 at 10:40
@PrasannaAnbu could be a GPS chipset issue, please try out with other devices – Reno Dec 25 '16 at 09:35
