locationManager.getLastKnownLocation() return null

android, geolocation, latitude-longitude, location

Solution

I had this exact same problem. It was because my device was not storing a last known location. I simply went on to Google Maps and pinpointed my location with GPS, then a value was returned for getLastKnownLocation()

Problem

i dont understand why `locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);` return the location null. I gave all permission but its reutning `null`. ``` if (isGPSEnabled) { if (location == null) { locationManager.requestLocationUpdates( LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES, MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES, this); Log.d("GPS", "GPS Enabled"); if (locationManager != null) { location = locationManager .getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER); if (location != null) { latitude = location.getLatitude(); longitude = location.getLongitude(); } } } } ```
