can't find the exact current location in android
android, gps, location
Solution
When the location comes in check for accuracy. If its not accurate enough then don't process it.
@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
if (!location.hasAccuracy()) {
return;
}
if (location.getAccuracy() > 5) {
return;
}
// do something with location accurate to 5 meters here.
}
Problem
I have use this below code for find the current location but i got that some devices(samsung 7' and 10'inch and nexus 10'inch) exact current locations,but unfoirtunately i can't find the locations in samsung s3. I don't have any idea ,what is issue.no find the locations. here is my code: ``` public class GPSTracker extends Service implements LocationListener { private final Context mContext; //flag for GPS Status boolean isGPSEnabled = false; //flag for network status boolean isNetworkEnabled = false; boolean canGetLocation = false; Location location; double latitude; double longitude; //The minimum distance to change updates in metters private static final long MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES = 10; //10 metters //The minimum time beetwen updates in milliseconds private static final long MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES = 1000 * 60 * 1; // 1 minute //Declaring a Location Manager protected LocationManager locationManager;
