    copied!<p>I have one app that needs user's current location. In the application, I have registered two location providers to listen for location and additionally I have also checked for last known location too. But the app do not receive the location always. The surprising thing I found today is that, </p> <p>GPS was off </p> <p>but location from wireless network was on.</p> <p>I opened google Maps and I can see that it is showing current location so accurately. But When I opened my app, it could not get location.</p> <p>I was surprised seeing this and I think there is something google map is doing to receive location other than I have done. </p> <p>Here is how I have registered for location</p> <pre><code>locationManager = (LocationManager) this .getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE); Location location = null; try { locationManager.requestLocationUpdates( LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 10, 100, this); Location location1 = locationManager .getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER); if (location1 != null) location = location1; Log.v(TAG, "Network listener Enabled"); } catch (RuntimeException ee) { // TODO: handle exception Log.e(TAG, "Network Providers Disabled"); } try { locationManager.requestLocationUpdates( LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 10, 100, this); Location location1 = locationManager .getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER); Log.v(TAG, "GPS listener enabled"); if (location1 != null) location = location1; } catch (RuntimeException e) { Log.e(TAG, "GPS not available"); } </code></pre> <p>I dont know if there are any other things that I need to do with. Please help me.</p>
