how to set a priority high accuracy location for the following code

someone already did this code in the project. But how to set a priority high accuracy in the location manager. They use location manager to get the current location.
So any one can help out. This not working if any possibilities to change the logic .
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;
// flag for GPS status
public boolean canGetLocation = false;
Location location; // location
double latitude; // latitude
double longitude; // longitude
// The minimum distance to change Updates in meters
private static final long MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES = 1;
// 10 meters to 1 meters change by me ..
// The minimum time between updates in milliseconds
private static final long MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES = 1000 * 60 * 1;
// 1 minute
// Declaring a Location Manager

public GPSTracker(Context context) {

getLocation();
}
public Location getLocation() {

locationManager = (LocationManager) mContext.getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
// getting GPS status
isGPSEnabled = locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
// getting network status
isNetworkEnabled = locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
if (!isGPSEnabled && !isNetworkEnabled) {
// no network provider is enabled
} else {
this.canGetLocation = true;
// First get location from Network Provider
if (isNetworkEnabled) {
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(

You shoul add criteria:
LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) this
.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
criteria.setAccuracy(Criteria.ACCURACY_FINE); // Choose your accuracy requirement.
locationManager.getBestProvider(criteria, true)

Android LocationManager :- Error Showing Progress Dialog

I am working on an application where I need to fetch the users current location. I am following this tutorial to achieve my goal http://www.androidhive.info/2012/07/android-gps-location-manager-tutorial/. This code works perfectly for me but there is some delay in fetching the co-ordinates. I want to show a progress dialog until the co-ordinates are fetched.
I found a similar question asked here Android show progress dialog while waiting for location
But I don’t follow the accepted answer. I tried it but it didn’t work for me …
My Problem :
1.When the application first starts with GPS Setting on, the ProgressDialog is infinite. That is, it doesn't dismiss.
Once the locations co-ordinates are found, the application crashes.
Errors :
For the 2nd problem is NullPointerException. Somehow the application is not able to find the dialog at the main activity. (inside onLocationChanged()).
Please help.
My code :

its work and return gps but when im call in another class im send error for lopper.prepare
java.lang.RuntimeException: Can't create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare()
getLocation(GPSTracker.java:69)
(GPSTracker.java:47)
where have a error?
regards!

I think the solution is simple. Why do you extend Service. I have seen many implementations of GPSTracker, have used one myself too and there is no need to extend any class. Just get rid of the "extends Service" part and all methods that come from extending service and you will be OK. Whenever you need location data create a GPSTracker object.
If you want to get notified when the tracker gets the data than just create an interface and implement it in the Activity. After that do this:
listener.onInterfaceMethod(location);

Not receiving Location Updates in Android

I have two classes "GPSTracker" and "Live".
The GPSTracker has the GPS related functions i.e. to get the latitude and the longitude, while the Live class calls it to get the current Latitude and the Longitude and then calculate the distance travelled.
My problem is that I am not getting any changes in the location, the location remains at whatever it is at the start! No locationUpdates!
GPSTracker.java:

I was facing same problem with my app, so what I did is reboot phone and Start the app under clear sky. It will might help you.

You can find a working example here. It is not calculating the distance, but this should be easy to add.
