GPS / Network Example

If you are developing any location or map based application, you have to make your app more smarter by finding user’s location automatically. For this you need to integrate GPS or Network module in your application. GPS is more accurate with Network. Here i am going to explain you how we can work on GPS and Network.

Example:



If GPS not activate then it will show you alert to activate your GPS



After GPS activation press back button to come back to your activity, whenever GPS get Longitude & Latitude it prompt a toast with Longitude & Latitude information 



If we press Network button it will show you current network tower location



 Code:

activity_mail.xml


<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:layout_marginTop="130dp"
        android:text="Location by GPS"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
        android:textStyle="bold" />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/button2"
        android:layout_width="145dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:text="GPS" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView2"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:layout_marginTop="40dp"
        android:text="Location by Network"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
        android:textStyle="bold" />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/button1"
        android:layout_width="148dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:text="Network" />
