How do I find the latitude and longitude on my Android phone?

How to display latitude and longitude on Google Maps in Android?

I'm building an Android app.

One part of the app displays latitude and longitude of a given location on Google Maps. I tried to do the same using the static function in android but it can't display the correct coordinates (it gives wrong ones).

I used Google's API, it works fine. This is what I used: final String requestUrl = "";. Final StringBuilder requestQuery = new StringBuilder();. RequestQuery.execute(getRequest); HttpEntity httpEntity = httpResponse.getEntity(); BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(httpEntity.getContent(), "UTF-8")); String line;. StringBuffer stringBuffer = new StringBuffer();. String result = "";. While ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) String responseBody = stringBuffer.toString(); JSONObject object = new JSONObject(responseBody);. JSONArray jsonArray = object.getJSONArray("results"); JSONObject json = jsonArray.getJSONObject(0); String Address = json.getString("formattedaddress"); The only problem I've got is how can I tell if this part of code has been working? How can I know whether the output is correct or not? It seems to be something simple. Do you have permission to access your current location via permission dialog, or by any other approach? Because if your system uses GPS to locate you, Google will not need you consent to access your current location. That is why you won't get any permission popup before.

How do I find the latitude and longitude on my Android phone?

One of the first things you'll want to do is look up your location on the Internet.

(Here, I'll use Google for this example.) Type lat long into the search box. A screen like the one below will appear.

Use your phone to enter a location into this Google map (and tap the Go button). Google maps will take you to a screen like the one below.

Google maps will likely ask you if you want to use your phone's GPS receiver to assist with location detection. I'd recommend that you enable this option.

Google maps will now present an interface that looks like the one below. Now you're going to need to know where to enter your location. Look up your latitude and longitude on Google.

Latitude is the horizontal plane's geographic position. As the world moves, the number representing the latitude changes, but the scale stays the same. So, if your location were at 40N, and 10 minutes later it was at 41N, then latitude would still be 40N. Longitude is the vertical plane's geographic position. Latitude represents the top side of the globe, and longitude represents the bottom side of the globe.

Look in the upper-right corner of your map to find the box that looks like this: In the box you'll see a place name. This is your location. To set your location, click in the upper-right corner of this box and start typing the place name. If it's not there, enter the location manually.

Click OK on the Google maps interface, and it will now tell you that your location has been set. Your Google maps interface will show that location as well.

Your location should be labeled like the one below. In my case, I have a location named "Bilbao", so it's listed as Bilbao, Spain.

The latitude and longitude of this location are also displayed. You can click on the lat/long buttons to get more details about the location, or to view another map centered on this location.

I'm now going to use my own phone to show you how to use a map app on Android.
