I'm trying to add GPS functionality to my android app, gps coordinates come out to 0.0, 0.0 every time

I'd like to check GPS both when the app is started and when the refresh button is hit, and use those data points, in the form of mLatitude and mLongitude to call the weather api. Eventually I'm going to geocode the city but right now for debugging purposes I'm outputting the GPS coordinates to the locationLabel textview.

Here are two things you can try:
1. Please ensure you have included the ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION and ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION permissions in your manifest. If your app targets Android API 23 and above, you will need to include runtime permission handling.
2. Instead of having a LocationListener object as a class member, you should have your Service implement it as an interface and implement its onLocationChanged() method.
Apart from this, you really should consider using the location APIs' in Google Play Services, rather than those in AOSP (i.e. android.location).

I am not getting what is the problem

You are not initializing and executing the LoadServerAsync anywhere.
If you want to send coordinates every time you update the text views, you should do this:
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
lat = (int) (location.getLatitude());
lng = (int) (location.getLongitude());
latituteField.setText(String.valueOf(lat));
longitudeField.setText(String.valueOf(lng));
LoadServerASYNC task = new LoadServerASYNC();
task.execute();
}
And you should call postData method inside doInBackground();

ANDROID: Code not working after inserting Date string to GET Url

I am making a android client that reports its location to my server after every 10 seconds.
For server I'm using dynamic DNS. I have to sent latitude, longitude and time-stamp as GET parameters.
I made the following working code:
package in.kirancity.trackapp;
import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import org.apache.http.HttpResponse;
import org.apache.http.HttpStatus;
import org.apache.http.StatusLine;
import org.apache.http.client.ClientProtocolException;
import org.apache.http.client.HttpClient;
import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpGet;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.location.Location;
import android.location.LocationListener;
import android.location.LocationManager;
import android.os.AsyncTask;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MainActivity extends Activity
{
TextView textLat;
TextView textLong;
TextView textRes;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
textLat = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textLat);
textLong = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textLong);
textRes = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textRes);
LocationManager lm = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
LocationListener ll = new myLocationListener();
lm.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 10000, 0, ll);
}
class myLocationListener implements LocationListener{
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location arg0)
{
if(arg0 != null)
{
double plong = arg0.getLongitude();
double plat = arg0.getLatitude();
String url = "http://vishalhome.myftp.org/insert.php?la="+Double.toString(plat)+"&ln="+Double.toString(plong)+"&d='Arbitrary'";
textLat.setText(Double.toString(plat));
textLong.setText(Double.toString(plong));
new RequestTask().execute(url);
}
}
#Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
#Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
#Override
public void onStatusChanged(String arg0, int arg1, Bundle arg2) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
}
class RequestTask extends AsyncTask<String, String, String>
{
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... uri) {
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpResponse response;
String responseString = null;
try {
response = httpclient.execute(new HttpGet(uri[0]));
StatusLine statusLine = response.getStatusLine();
if(statusLine.getStatusCode() == HttpStatus.SC_OK){
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
response.getEntity().writeTo(out);
out.close();
responseString = out.toString();
} else{
//Closes the connection.
response.getEntity().getContent().close();
throw new IOException(statusLine.getReasonPhrase());
}
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
responseString = e.toString();
} catch (IOException e) {
responseString = e.toString();
}
return responseString;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
TextView tv=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textRes);
tv.setText(result);
}
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu)
{
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
}
This code works fine for me. But instead of sending actual time-stamp i sent "Arbitrary" string.
After successfully executing asyncTask, the values are inserted and Response is: "inserted"(Returned by my php page).
But when I'm trying this in onLocationChanged:
String url = "http://vishalhome.myftp.org/insert.php?la="+Double.toString(plat)+"&ln="+Double.toString(plong)+"&d=\'";
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
String currentDateandTime = sdf.format(new Date());
url = url + currentDateandTime + "\'";
the application crashes on location change event.
I tried to put try catch blocks, but no clue of problem.
I think problem is coming out after new RequestTask(url) is called.
Please assist !

I think you should encode the url before using it. Try this:
currentDateandTime = URLEncoder.encode(currentDateandTime, "utf-8");
url = url + currentDateandTime + "\'";
Please see URL encoding in Android

Sending json Post date in android with parameter

I'm trying to make a POST request with Android, but I'm not succeeding. I think the problem is in how to set the parameters for resquisição and Header. Below is my method I do the request ...
public void testPostDate() {
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(client.getParams(), 10000);
HttpResponse response;
Gson gson = new Gson();
CrimePOST.Crime crime = new CrimePOST().new Crime(10, "São Paulo",
"descrição", 10.00, 30.00);
CrimePOST crimePost = new CrimePOST();
crimePost.setCrime(crime);
List<NameValuePair> params = new LinkedList<NameValuePair>();
params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("token",
"0V1AYFK12SeCZHYgXbNMew==$tRqPNplipDwtbD0vxWv6GPJIT6Yk5abwca3IJa6JhMs="));
String json = gson.toJson(crimePost);
String paramString = URLEncodedUtils.format(params, Utils.ENCODE);
try {
HttpPost post = new HttpPost(
"http://safe-sea-4024.herokuapp.com/crimes/mobilecreate"
+ "?" + paramString);
post.setHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
StringEntity entitty = new StringEntity(json);
entitty.setContentType(new BasicHeader(HTTP.CONTENT_TYPE,
"application/json"));
post.setEntity(entitty);
response = client.execute(post);
/* Checking response */
if (response != null) {
InputStream in = response.getEntity().getContent();
String a = toString(in);
System.out.println(a);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
This method is responsible for converting an inputStream to String
private String toString(InputStream is) throws IOException {
byte[] bytes = new byte[1024];
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
int lidos;
while ((lidos = is.read(bytes)) > 0) {
baos.write(bytes, 0, lidos);
}
return new String(baos.toByteArray());
}
Really I am passing the Header correctly?

Speech Recognition in Surface View [android]

I am trying to make speech recognition in a surface view work. I am getting one small error.
Error:
It's not drawing the text but its drawing the background.
This line(#64):
c.drawARGB(255, 0, 0, 255); //works
p.setTextSize(50);
p.setColor(Color.WHITE);
c.drawText("mText: "+mText, 500, 500, p); //does not work

I thought my class was a context? What am I doing wrong.

If you are passing the Context to your constructor you should use: sr = SpeechRecognizer.createSpeechRecognizer(context);
