How To Get Location Of Android Device By Its Android Id

I am new in android and recently start learning about Android and I am trying to get location of any android device by its unique android id. By that I can track the approx or exa

Solution 1:

Finally I am able to do with this code:

publicclassMyServiceextendsServiceimplementsLocationListener{
StringGPS_FILTER="";
Thread triggerService;
LocationListener locationListener;
LocationManager lm;
privatestaticfinallongMINIMUM_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES=10; // 10 meterprivatestaticfinallongMINIMUM_TIME_BETWEEN_UPDATES=1000 * 60 * 3; // 1 minuteprotected LocationManager locationManager;
booleanisRunning=true;

Calendarcur_cal= Calendar.getInstance();

Location location;
double latitude; // latitudedouble longitude;
UserFunctions userFunction;
private JSONObject json;
privateAlertDialogManageralert=newAlertDialogManager();

privatestaticStringKEY_SUCCESS="success";
privatestaticStringKEY_ERROR="error";
privatestaticStringKEY_ERROR_MSG="error_msg";
privatestaticStringKEY_FLAG="flag";
String android_id ;
String userName;

@OverridepublicvoidonCreate() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stubsuper.onCreate();
    Intentintent=newIntent(this, MyService.class);
    PendingIntentpintent= PendingIntent.getService(getApplicationContext(),
            0, intent, 0);
    AlarmManageralarm= (AlarmManager) getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);

    android_id = Settings.Secure.getString(getContentResolver(),
                Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID);
    if (getAccount() != null) {
        userName = getAccount();
    }

    GPS_FILTER = "MyGPSLocation";
    // locationManager = (LocationManager)// getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);// locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(// LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,// MINIMUM_TIME_BETWEEN_UPDATES,// MINIMUM_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES,// new MyLocationListener());
    cur_cal.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
    alarm.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, cur_cal.getTimeInMillis(),
            60 * 1000*3, pintent);
}

@OverridepublicvoidonStart(Intent intent, int startId) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stubsuper.onStart(intent, startId);
    //turnGPSOn();/*Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Hello1", Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
            .show();*/LocationManagerlocationManager= (LocationManager) getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
     locationListener = newMyLocationListener();
     locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(
                LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER,
                MINIMUM_TIME_BETWEEN_UPDATES,
                MINIMUM_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES, (LocationListener) this);
     if (locationManager != null) {
            location = locationManager
                    .getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
            if (location != null) {
                latitude = location.getLatitude();
                longitude = location.getLongitude();
                /*Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), latitude + ", ll" + longitude, Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
                .show();*/
                userFunction = newUserFunctions();
                newYourAsyncTaskLogin().execute();
            }
        }

     location =locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);

    locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,
            MINIMUM_TIME_BETWEEN_UPDATES, 1.0f, locationListener);

}

Solution 2:

if you want to get location of any device who has your app in their mobile , you can get it , firstly in your app you can upload locations to your server with memberid(you can set it , unique for every device) for every x time(you can set it how many times you update the location). And then you can check your db on your server which device in where.

(my advice you can use webservice to update db on your server)
