How To Get Latitude Longitude Value Without Using Gps In Android?

I have a device which has no GPS module. Is there any way to get the Lat Lon value without using the GPS module in Android. Hey, down voters can you explain what is wrong in this q

Solution 1:

Just put below Java class in your package.

MyLocation.java

import java.util.Timer;
import java.util.TimerTask;
import android.content.Context;
import android.location.Location;
import android.location.LocationListener;
import android.location.LocationManager;
import android.os.Bundle;

publicclassMyLocation {
    Timer timer1;
    LocationManager lm;
    LocationResult locationResult;
    boolean gps_enabled=false;
    boolean network_enabled=false;

    publicbooleangetLocation(Context context, LocationResult result)
    {
        //I use LocationResult callback class to pass location value from MyLocation to user code.
        locationResult=result;
        if(lm==null)
            lm = (LocationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);

        //exceptions will be thrown if provider is not permitted.try
        {
            gps_enabled=lm.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
        }
        catch(Exception ex)
        {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
        try
        {
            network_enabled=lm.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
        }
        catch(Exception ex)
        {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }

        //don't start listeners if no provider is enabledif(!gps_enabled && !network_enabled)
            returnfalse;

        if(gps_enabled)
            lm.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0, locationListenerGps);
        if(network_enabled)
            lm.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 0, 0, locationListenerNetwork);
        timer1=newTimer();
        timer1.schedule(newGetLastLocation(), 20000);
        returntrue;
    }

    LocationListener locationListenerGps = newLocationListener() 
    {
        publicvoidonLocationChanged(Location location) 
        {
            timer1.cancel();
            locationResult.gotLocation(location);



          //  lm.removeUpdates(this);//lm.removeUpdates(locationListenerNetwork);
        }
        publicvoidonProviderDisabled(String provider) {}
        publicvoidonProviderEnabled(String provider) {}
        publicvoidonStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {}
    };

    LocationListener locationListenerNetwork = newLocationListener()
    {
        publicvoidonLocationChanged(Location location) 
        {
            timer1.cancel();
            locationResult.gotLocation(location);
           // lm.removeUpdates(this);//   lm.removeUpdates(locationListenerGps);
        }
        publicvoidonProviderDisabled(String provider) {}
        publicvoidonProviderEnabled(String provider) {}
        publicvoidonStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {}
    };

    classGetLastLocationextendsTimerTask 
    {
        @Overridepublicvoidrun() {
             //lm.removeUpdates(locationListenerGps);//lm.removeUpdates(locationListenerNetwork);Location net_loc=null, gps_loc=null;
             if(gps_enabled)
                 gps_loc=lm.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
             if(network_enabled)
                 net_loc=lm.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);

             //if there are both values use the latest oneif(gps_loc!=null && net_loc!=null){
                 if(gps_loc.getTime()>net_loc.getTime())
                     locationResult.gotLocation(gps_loc);
                 else
                     locationResult.gotLocation(net_loc);
                 return;
             }

             if(gps_loc!=null){
                 locationResult.gotLocation(gps_loc);
                 return;
             }
             if(net_loc!=null){
                 locationResult.gotLocation(net_loc);
                 return;
             }
             locationResult.gotLocation(null);
        }
    }

    publicstaticabstractclassLocationResult
    {
        publicabstractvoidgotLocation(Location location);
    }
}

Now, in your activity you can find the location as like below code:

publicstatic Location loc;

        @OverrideprotectedvoidonCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stubsuper.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.splash_layout);

        // to Find the Location LocationResultlocationResult=newLocationResult(){
            @OverridepublicvoidgotLocation(final Location location){
                loc=location;
                System.out.println("Latitude: "+loc.getLatitude());
                System.out.println("Longitude: "+loc.getLongitude());
            }
        };

        MyLocationmyLocation=newMyLocation();
    myLocation.getLocation(SplashActivity.this, locationResult);
    }
}

With above code you dont have to on the GPS in device. It will automatically check for the best available locationmanager and find location based on it.

it also required some permission in the AndroidManifest.xml file.

Hope it will help you.

Solution 2:

If your Device don't have GPS then you can also use Network_Provider for get latitude and longitude, Use below code for get latitude and longitude using Network_Provider, it will solve your problem.

LocationManagerlm= (LocationManager) GlobalApplication
            .getAppContext().getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);

Locationlocation= lm
            .getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);

if(location != null){
    doublelatitude= location.getLatitude();
    doublelongitude= location.getLongitude();
}

Solution 3:

Locationlocation=myManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
    latPoint=location.getLatitude();
    lngPoint=location.getLongitude();

hope this will help you. here we are getting latitude and longitude using network provider not using GPS.thats what u wanted.
