Class for retrieving gps location on android programming.
This source will try to get minimum 4 satellite, if can't get 4 satellite, that's will read last known location. To call this class u can using the code below in your activity:
To call the function code on top you can using this:
Class MyLocation:
This source will try to get minimum 4 satellite, if can't get 4 satellite, that's will read last known location. To call this class u can using the code below in your activity:
public LocationResult locationResult = new LocationResult(){
@Override
public void gotLocation(final Location location){
//Got the location!
Glat = location.getLatitude();
Glong = location.getLongitude();
}
}
To call the function code on top you can using this:
//declare the class MyLocation first on your activity
private MyLocation myLocation = new MyLocation();
//call the code location results
myLocation.init(this, locationResult);
