How to get current longitude and latitude in android

By using the below code we can get the current latitude and longitude in android application.


Below are the imports need to be added


import android.location.Criteria;
import android.location.Location;
import android.location.LocationManager;
import android.os.StrictMode;

Below are the variable need to add

    String latitude,longitude;
    LocationManager locManager;
    Location location;

add the below code in the on create method

StrictMode.ThreadPolicy policy = new StrictMode.ThreadPolicy.Builder()
        .permitAll().build();
        StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(policy);
        LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
        Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
        String bestProvider = locationManager.getBestProvider(criteria,true);
        Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(bestProvider);
        if (location==null){
            AlertDialog.Builder dialogBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this)
                    .setMessage("Unable to find location please check your GPS connection").setTitle(
                            "Alert");
            dialogBuilder.setPositiveButton("OK",
                    new android.content.DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                        @Override
                        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                            return;
                        }
                    });
            dialogBuilder.create().show();
        }
        else{
            latitude = Double.toString(location.getLatitude());
            longitude= Double.toString(location.getLongitude());           
        }

Usually in the emulator we need to set the longitude and latitudes through the command prompt using adb shell or we need to set using the ddms perspective.
