Advertisemen

The example show how to get my Last Known Location, by calling LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation() of Google play Service.


reference: Android Developers - Getting the Last Known Location

To use Google Play Service in your project, you have to Add Google Play Services to Android Studio project, refer last post.

Permission:
Add uses-permission of ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION or ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION in your AndroidManifest.xml. In this example, I use ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION. (Read remark below about getLastLocation() return null)

---

remark: getLastLocation() return null!
- When run on real device, ASUS Zenfone 2 running Android 5.0:
According to Android Developers - Getting the Last Known Location, you can add permission of ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION or ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION. But in my trial, if add permission of ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION, getLastLocation() return null mostly, around 2 success in more than 30 try. if add permission of ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, it almost success every time.
