Android LocationManager locationManager.requestLocationUpdates() not working
android, locationmanager
Solution
For the `getLastKnownLocation` method, it is said in the documentation :
If the provider is currently disabled, null is returned.
Which means your GPS is disabled.
For the `requestLocationUpdates`, you are requesting a location every 20 seconds, try to decrease this number so you know at least if your program is working.
You can try this :
LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0, this);
Also I really advise you to use the new API to request location updates : https://developer.android.com/training/location/receive-location-updates.html
It is very fast and accurate, but you need to create a google developer account (for free) and create an api key. All needed information should be in the link.
