You can use FusedLocationProvider For using Fused Location Provider in your project you will have to add the google play services location dependency in our app level build gradle file dependencies      implementation fileTree dir   libs   include      jar                            implementation  com google android gms play-services-location 17 0 0     Permissions in Manifest Apps that use location services must request location permissions  Android offers two location permissions  ACCESS COARSE LOCATION and ACCESS FINE LOCATION   lt uses-permission android name  quot android permission ACCESS COARSE LOCATION quot   gt   lt uses-permission android name  quot android permission ACCESS FINE LOCATION quot   gt   As you may know that from Android 6 0  Marshmallow  you must request permissions for important access in the runtime  Cause it   s a security issue where while installing an application  user may not clearly understand about an important permission of their device  ActivityCompat requestPermissions      this      arrayOf Manifest permission ACCESS COARSE LOCATION  Manifest permission ACCESS FINE LOCATION       PERMISSION ID    Then you can use the FusedLocationProvider Client to get the updated location in your desired place      mFusedLocationClient lastLocation addOnCompleteListener this    task - gt          var location  Location    task result         if  location    null                requestNewLocationData             else               findViewById lt TextView gt  R id latTextView  text   location latitude toString               findViewById lt TextView gt  R id lonTextView  text   location longitude toString                    You can also check certain configuration like if the device has location settings on or not  You can also check the article on Detect Current Latitude  amp  Longitude using Kotlin in Android for more functionality  If there is no cache location then it will catch the current location using  private fun requestNewLocationData         var mLocationRequest   LocationRequest       mLocationRequest priority   LocationRequest PRIORITY HIGH ACCURACY     mLocationRequest interval   0     mLocationRequest fastestInterval   0     mLocationRequest numUpdates   1      mFusedLocationClient   LocationServices getFusedLocationProviderClient this      mFusedLocationClient   requestLocationUpdates              mLocationRequest  mLocationCallback              Looper myLooper

Use the LocationManager   LocationManager lm    LocationManager getSystemService Context LOCATION SERVICE    Location location   lm getLastKnownLocation LocationManager GPS PROVIDER   double longitude   location getLongitude    double latitude   location getLatitude      The call to getLastKnownLocation   doesn t block - which means it will return null if no position is currently available - so you probably want to have a look at passing a LocationListener to the requestLocationUpdates   method instead  which will give you asynchronous updates of your location   private final LocationListener locationListener   new LocationListener         public void onLocationChanged Location location            longitude   location getLongitude            latitude   location getLatitude             lm requestLocationUpdates LocationManager GPS PROVIDER  2000  10  locationListener     You ll need to give your application the ACCESS FINE LOCATION permission if you want to use GPS    lt uses-permission android name  android permission ACCESS FINE LOCATION    gt    You may also want to add the ACCESS COARSE LOCATION permission for when GPS isn t available and select your location provider with the getBestProvider   method

With google things changes very often  non of the previous answers worked for me  based on this google training here is how you do it using  fused location provider  this requires Set Up Google Play Services Activity class public class GPSTrackerActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements     GoogleApiClient ConnectionCallbacks        GoogleApiClient OnConnectionFailedListener    private GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient  Location mLastLocation    Override protected void onCreate Bundle savedInstanceState        super onCreate savedInstanceState        if  mGoogleApiClient    null            mGoogleApiClient   new GoogleApiClient Builder this                   addConnectionCallbacks this                   addOnConnectionFailedListener this                   addApi LocationServices API                   build              protected void onStart         mGoogleApiClient connect        super onStart       protected void onStop         mGoogleApiClient disconnect        super onStop        Override public void onConnected Bundle bundle        try            mLastLocation   LocationServices FusedLocationApi getLastLocation                  mGoogleApiClient           if  mLastLocation    null                Intent intent   new Intent                intent putExtra  quot Longitude quot   mLastLocation getLongitude                 intent putExtra  quot Latitude quot   mLastLocation getLatitude                 setResult 1 intent               finish                     catch  SecurityException e                Override public void onConnectionSuspended int i         Override public void onConnectionFailed ConnectionResult connectionResult          usage in you activity  Intent intent   new Intent context  GPSTrackerActivity class       startActivityForResult intent 1    And this method  protected void onActivityResult int requestCode  int resultCode  Intent data        super onActivityResult requestCode  resultCode  data       if requestCode    1           Bundle extras   data getExtras            Double longitude   extras getDouble  quot Longitude quot            Double latitude   extras getDouble  quot Latitude quot

Above solutions is also correct  but some time if location is null then it crash the app or not working properly  The best way to get Latitude and Longitude of android is    Geocoder geocoder       String bestProvider       List lt Address gt  user   null       double lat       double lng       LocationManager lm    LocationManager  activity getSystemService Context LOCATION SERVICE         Criteria criteria   new Criteria         bestProvider   lm getBestProvider criteria  false        Location location   lm getLastKnownLocation bestProvider         if  location    null            Toast makeText activity  Location Not found  Toast LENGTH LONG  show           else          geocoder   new Geocoder activity           try               user   geocoder getFromLocation location getLatitude    location getLongitude    1           lat  double user get 0  getLatitude            lng  double user get 0  getLongitude            System out println   DDD lat     lat     longitude    lng             catch  Exception e                    e printStackTrace

Best way is  Add permission manifest file   lt uses-permission android name  android permission ACCESS FINE LOCATION   gt   lt uses-permission android name  android permission ACCESS COARSE LOCATION   gt    Then you can get GPS location or if GPS location is not available then this function return NETWORK location      public static Location getLocationWithCheckNetworkAndGPS Context mContext        LocationManager lm    LocationManager              mContext getSystemService Context LOCATION SERVICE       assert lm    null      isGpsEnabled   lm isProviderEnabled LocationManager GPS PROVIDER       isNetworkLocationEnabled   lm isProviderEnabled LocationManager NETWORK PROVIDER        Location networkLoacation   null  gpsLocation   null  finalLoc   null      if  isGpsEnabled          if  ActivityCompat checkSelfPermission mContext  Manifest permission ACCESS FINE LOCATION     PackageManager PERMISSION GRANTED  amp  amp  ActivityCompat checkSelfPermission mContext  Manifest permission ACCESS COARSE LOCATION     PackageManager PERMISSION GRANTED                 return null           gpsLocation   lm getLastKnownLocation LocationManager GPS PROVIDER       if  isNetworkLocationEnabled          networkLoacation   lm getLastKnownLocation LocationManager NETWORK PROVIDER        if  gpsLocation    null  amp  amp  networkLoacation    null               smaller the number more accurate result will         if  gpsLocation getAccuracy    gt  networkLoacation getAccuracy                return finalLoc   networkLoacation          else             return finalLoc   gpsLocation         else            if  gpsLocation    null                return finalLoc   gpsLocation            else if  networkLoacation    null                return finalLoc   networkLoacation                      return finalLoc
