Android Studio JAVA: Send SMS of user's current location ;

I am Trying to Build an app where user can show their location and send an SMS to nearby hospital.
I am new to android studio and everything about it, but I quite made a progress with it.
I have 2 XML files, but I'll provide the JAVA CLASSES first

What I want to see if its possible to send the user's current location to another phone after I hit the button that will also show their current location in the map.
I am willing to provide the source code if you kind sirs and ma'ams want to check my code.
Thank you

This code now doesn't even display the current latitude and longitude. Can someone help me with this. I'm looking to display the State as well as the Lat and Long of the current location.
The lines of Code where the changes have been implemented and that seems the most relevant to my issue are marked with a long line of asterisk at the Start and End of the code which looks like this:
*******************************************************

All we need to do is add this permission in the manifest file:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
And create a LocationManager instance like this:
LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager)
getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
Check if GPS is enabled or not.
And then implement LocationListener and get coordinates:
LocationListener locationListener = new MyLocationListener();
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(
LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 5000, 10, locationListener);
Here is the sample code to do so
private class MyLocationListener implements LocationListener {
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location loc) {
editLocation.setText("");
pb.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
Toast.makeText(
getBaseContext(),
"Location changed: Lat: " + loc.getLatitude() + " Lng: "
+ loc.getLongitude(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
String longitude = "Longitude: " + loc.getLongitude();
Log.v(TAG, longitude);
String latitude = "Latitude: " + loc.getLatitude();
Log.v(TAG, latitude);
/*------- To get city name from coordinates -------- */
String cityName = null;
Geocoder gcd = new Geocoder(getBaseContext(), Locale.getDefault());
List<Address> addresses;
try {
addresses = gcd.getFromLocation(loc.getLatitude(),
loc.getLongitude(), 1);
if (addresses.size() > 0) {
System.out.println(addresses.get(0).getLocality());
cityName = addresses.get(0).getLocality();
}
}
catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
String s = longitude + "\n" + latitude + "\n\nMy Current City is: "
+ cityName;
editLocation.setText(s);
}
#Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {}
#Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {}
#Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {}
}
see this flow:
How do I get the current GPS location programmatically in Android?

Actually this code will not work now.
Google has deprecated the above code and now you need to use below code.
I used Retrofit
Retrofit Client
public static final String GOOGLE_ETA = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/";
public static Retrofit getEtaClient() {
if (retrofitEtaGoogle == null) {
retrofitEtaGoogle = new Retrofit.Builder()
.baseUrl(GOOGLE_ETA)
.client(provideOkHttpClient())
.addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
.build();
}
return retrofitEtaGoogle;
}
Api interface class
#GET("api/geocode/json?key="+ Consts.GOOGLE_API_KEY)
Call<GoogleGeoCodeApiResponseModel> getPlaceFromLatLng(#Query("latlng") String latLng);
In updateLocationUI() method
String latLng = location.getLatitude() + "," + location.getLongitude();
ApiInterface apiInterface = RetrofitClient.getEtaClient().create(ApiInterface.class);
Call<GoogleGeoCodeApiResponseModel> call = apiInterface.getPlaceFromLatLng(latLng);
call.enqueue(new Callback<GoogleGeoCodeApiResponseModel>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(Call<GoogleGeoCodeApiResponseModel> call, Response<GoogleGeoCodeApiResponseModel> response) {
if (response.body().getStatus() != null && response.body().getStatus().equals("OK")) {
addressObj = new GoogleAddressLocalModel();
addressObj.setName(response.body().getResults().get(0).getFormattedAddress());
addressObj.setLat(response.body().getResults().get(0).getGeometry().getLocation().getLat());
addressObj.setLng(response.body().getResults().get(0).getGeometry().getLocation().getLng());
for (GoogleGeoCodeApiResponseModel.AddressComponent obj : response.body().getResults().get(0).getAddressComponents()) {
for (String type : obj.getTypes()) {
if (type.contains("postal_code")) {
addressObj.setPostalCode(obj.getLongName());
} else if (type.contains("country")) {
addressObj.setCountryId(obj.getShortName());
addressObj.setCountryName(obj.getLongName());
} else if (type.contains("administrative_area_level_2")) {
addressObj.setCityName(obj.getLongName());
}
}
}
} else if (response.body().getStatus() != null) {
Log.e("ErrroGettingAddress", response.body().getStatus());
}
}
#Override
public void onFailure(Call<GoogleGeoCodeApiResponseModel> call, Throwable t) {
Log.e("ErrroGettingAddress", t.getLocalizedMessage());
}
});
}

Google Location Services never updates

I have tried to figure this out for the past 48 hours, but I must be an idiot. I followed the Google documentation to try and make this weather app location aware. The problem is I don't how to make onLocationChanged() run or even know when it is supposed to run. If it doesn't run I send a request to grab data from latitude 0 and longitude 0. I have enabled all the correct permissions. Please help me...

hi your api is working fine, i have checked. You have issue with your current latitude and longitude. So, i have one solution for you.
Please check how i'm using in my app and its working perfect.I'm using fused api for update location please follow few steps.
Step 1. Make this class
GoogleLocationService.java
public class GoogleLocationService {
private GoogleServicesCallbacks callbacks = new GoogleServicesCallbacks();
LocationUpdateListener locationUpdateListener;
Context activity;
protected GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;
protected LocationRequest mLocationRequest;
public static final long UPDATE_INTERVAL_IN_MILLISECONDS = 30000;
public GoogleLocationService(Context activity, LocationUpdateListener locationUpdateListener) {
this.locationUpdateListener = locationUpdateListener;
this.activity = activity;
buildGoogleApiClient();
}
protected synchronized void buildGoogleApiClient() {
//Log.i(TAG, "Building GoogleApiClient");
mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(activity)
.addConnectionCallbacks(callbacks)
.addOnConnectionFailedListener(callbacks)
.addApi(LocationServices.API)
.build();
createLocationRequest();
mGoogleApiClient.connect();
}
protected void createLocationRequest() {
mLocationRequest = new LocationRequest();
mLocationRequest.setInterval(UPDATE_INTERVAL_IN_MILLISECONDS);
mLocationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
}
private class GoogleServicesCallbacks implements GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks, GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener, LocationListener {
#Override
public void onConnected(Bundle bundle) {
startLocationUpdates();
}
#Override
public void onConnectionSuspended(int i) {
mGoogleApiClient.connect();
}
#Override
public void onConnectionFailed(#NonNull ConnectionResult connectionResult) {
if (connectionResult.getErrorCode() == ConnectionResult.SERVICE_VERSION_UPDATE_REQUIRED) {
Toast.makeText(activity, "Google play service not updated", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
locationUpdateListener.cannotReceiveLocationUpdates();
}
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
if (location.hasAccuracy()) {
if (location.getAccuracy() < 30) {
locationUpdateListener.updateLocation(location);
}
}
}
}
private static boolean locationEnabled(Context context) {
boolean gps_enabled = false;
LocationManager lm = (LocationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
try {
gps_enabled = lm.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
return gps_enabled;
}
private boolean servicesConnected(Context context) {
return isPackageInstalled(GooglePlayServicesUtil.GOOGLE_PLAY_STORE_PACKAGE, context);
}
private boolean isPackageInstalled(String packagename, Context context) {
PackageManager pm = context.getPackageManager();
try {
pm.getPackageInfo(packagename, PackageManager.GET_ACTIVITIES);
return true;
} catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return false;
}
}
public void startUpdates() {
/*
* Connect the client. Don't re-start any requests here; instead, wait
* for onResume()
*/
if (servicesConnected(activity)) {
if (locationEnabled(activity)) {
locationUpdateListener.canReceiveLocationUpdates();
startLocationUpdates();
} else {
locationUpdateListener.cannotReceiveLocationUpdates();
Toast.makeText(activity, "Unable to get your location.Please turn on your device Gps", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
} else {
locationUpdateListener.cannotReceiveLocationUpdates();
Toast.makeText(activity, "Google play service not available", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
//stop location updates
public void stopUpdates() {
stopLocationUpdates();
}
//start location updates
private void startLocationUpdates() {
if (checkSelfPermission(activity, ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && checkSelfPermission(activity, ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
return;
}
if (mGoogleApiClient.isConnected()) {
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, mLocationRequest, callbacks);
}
}
public void stopLocationUpdates() {
if (mGoogleApiClient.isConnected()) {
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.removeLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, callbacks);
}
}
public void startGoogleApi() {
mGoogleApiClient.connect();
}
public void closeGoogleApi() {
mGoogleApiClient.disconnect();
}
}
Step2. Make this interface
LocationUpdateListener.java
public interface LocationUpdateListener {
/**
* Called immediately the service starts if the service can obtain location
*/
void canReceiveLocationUpdates();
/**
* Called immediately the service tries to start if it cannot obtain location - eg the user has disabled wireless and
*/
void cannotReceiveLocationUpdates();
/**
* Called whenever the location has changed (at least non-trivially)
* #param location
*/
void updateLocation(Location location);
/**
* Called when GoogleLocationServices detects that the device has moved to a new location.
* #param localityName The name of the locality (somewhere below street but above area).
*/
void updateLocationName(String localityName, Location location);
}
Step 3. Call this in your class oncreate or where you want to get location
private GoogleLocationService googleLocationService;
googleLocationService = new GoogleLocationService(context, new LocationUpdateListener() {
#Override
public void canReceiveLocationUpdates() {
}
#Override
public void cannotReceiveLocationUpdates() {
}
//update location to our servers for tracking purpose
#Override
public void updateLocation(Location location) {
if (location != null ) {
Timber.e("updated location %1$s %2$s", location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());
}
}
#Override
public void updateLocationName(String localityName, Location location) {
googleLocationService.stopLocationUpdates();
}
});
googleLocationService.startUpdates();
and call this onDestroy
if (googleLocationService != null) {
googleLocationService.stopLocationUpdates();
}
Hope this will help you to solve your problem.

Add the following code in OnClick() method of the Positive buton:
Intent intent = new Intent(context, Splashscreen.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK);
context.startActivity(intent);
It will clear the activity stack of your application and launch Splashscreen activity.

Android location api not working

I'm trying to acquire GPS coordinates on my android application.
Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
criteria.setAltitudeRequired(false);
criteria.setAccuracy(Criteria.ACCURACY_FINE);
criteria.setBearingRequired(false);
criteria.setCostAllowed(false);
criteria.setPowerRequirement(Criteria.POWER_HIGH);
LocationManager locationManager =
(LocationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
Intent i = new Intent(context, IntentListener.class);
i.setAction(Actions.ACTION_UPDATE_LOCATION);
PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(
context, 0, i, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
String provider = locationManager.getBestProvider(criteria, true);
if (provider == null) return;
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(provider, 90 * 1000, 30, pi);
and here's receiving code.
Intent service = new Intent(context, WorkerService.class);
service.setAction(Actions.ACTION_UPDATE_LOCATION);
Location location = (Location) intent.getExtras().get(
LocationManager.KEY_LOCATION_CHANGED);
if (location == null) { // <-- Always true
return;
}
service.putExtra("lat", location.getLatitude());
service.putExtra("lon", location.getLongitude());
context.startService(service);
As you can see, I'm unable to obtain Location instance by calling intent.getExtras()... etc. Returned value is always null. I'm testing on my emulator running android 4.1.2 and telnet client, using geo fix longitude latitude. Anyone knows what's wrong? Thanks.
P.S. Manifest contains all required permissions and GPS is enabled in the emulator.
P.P.S. This application is a corporate app, that runs as a service, without UI and should collect GPS coordinates.

You casually mentioned that you're testing on an emulator. The emulator doesn't receive mock locations by itself; you have to specifically send them through the DDMS interface.
Additionally, due to a bug in the emulator, the time offset in incoming locations is set to midnight, so your location criteria will likely not match it.
I strongly suggest you test with a physical device to confirm that the problem is still occurring.

Use the new Location API.
You'd have to include Google Play services into your project.
Add this in onCreate:
mIntentService = new Intent(this,LocationService.class);
mPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getService(this, 1, mIntentService, 0);
int resp =GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(this);
if(resp == ConnectionResult.SUCCESS){
locationclient = new LocationClient(this,this,this);
locationclient.connect();
}
And you'd have to override these methods:
#Override
protected void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
if(locationclient!=null)
locationclient.disconnect();
}
#Override
public void onConnected(Bundle connectionHint) {
Log.i(TAG, "onConnected");
//to get last location
Location loc =locationclient.getLastLocation();
//to get updates via service
locationrequest = LocationRequest.create();
locationrequest.setInterval(100);
locationclient.requestLocationUpdates(locationrequest, mPendingIntent);
}
#Override
public void onDisconnected() {
Log.i(TAG, "onDisconnected");
}
#Override
public void onConnectionFailed(ConnectionResult result) {
Log.i(TAG, "onConnectionFailed");
}
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
if(location!=null){
Log.i(TAG, "Location Request :" + location.getLatitude() + "," + location.getLongitude());
}
}
Here's the service where I'm creating a notification for every new location, you can remove that and update location there.
public class LocationService extends IntentService {
private String TAG = this.getClass().getSimpleName();
public LocationService() {
super("Fused Location");
}
public LocationService(String name) {
super("Fused Location");
}
#Override
protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) {
Location location = intent.getParcelableExtra(LocationClient.KEY_LOCATION_CHANGED);
if(location !=null){
Log.i(TAG, "onHandleIntent " + location.getLatitude() + "," + location.getLongitude());
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
Builder noti = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this);
noti.setContentTitle("Fused Location");
noti.setContentText(location.getLatitude() + "," + location.getLongitude());
noti.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher);
notificationManager.notify(1234, noti.build());
}
}
}

Follow the tutorial to get the location in Android app

You should take your location by implementing LocationListener
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location loc) {
}

Take a look at this implementation, works really nice and i have tested it on several devices.

I see you implement the intent.putExtra after you get the extra! You should do the put in the activity that receives the location data and when you want to receive the data from the intent.extra you should do this:
Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
if (extras != null) {
latitude= (double)extras.getDouble("lat");
longitude=(double)extras.getDouble("lon");
}
