Android: How to initialize a variable of type "Location" (other than making it equal to null)
The API documentation is quite clear on this. First create a new Location instance:
Location loc = new Location("dummyprovider");
And then use the setter methods to set the location parameters you need, e.g.:
loc.setLatitude(20.3);
loc.setLongitude(52.6);
Location object = new Location("service Provider");
it will create an object of Type Location that contains the initial Latitude and Longitude at location '0' to get the initial values use
double lat = object.getLatitude();
double lng = object.getLongitude();
In Kotlin using LocationManager
class you can pass the required location provider like:
val location = Location(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER) // OR GPS_PROVIDER based on the requirement
location.latitude = 42.125
location.longitude = 55.123
