first step you need to add permission in manifest file the code given below second step the activity class you need extends in LocationListener. it will override for getting current location I have all code added below public class MainActivity extends Activity implements LocationListener{ protected LocationManager locationManager; protected LocationListener locationListener; protected Context context; TextView txtLat; String lat; String provider; protected String latitude,longitude; protected boolean gps_enabled,network_enabled; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); txtLat = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textview1); locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE); locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0, this ); } @Override public void onLocationChanged(Location location) { txtLat = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textview1); txtLat.setText( "Latitude:" + location.getLatitude() + ", Longitude:" + location.getLongitude()); } @Override public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) { Log.d( "Latitude" , "disable" ); } @Override public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) { Log.d( "Latitude" , "enable" ); } @Override public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) { Log.d( "Latitude" , "status" ); } }

FusedLocationProviderClient is a good option to get the location in Android. Specify permission for FINE_LOCATION in manifest and ask dynamically before requesting for location update.
