Android: how to initialize a variable of type "Location" (distinguishing it from zero)

Question

I want to check the code that I wrote, and for this I need to build a variable of type Location and give it a long / lat value, but I'm not sure how I will do it. Any ideas?

Answer 1

The API documentation is perfectly understandable. First create a new instance of the location:

Location loc = new Location("dummyprovider"); 

And then use the configuration methods to set the necessary location parameters, for example:

 loc.setLatitude(20.3); loc.setLongitude(52.6); 

Answer 2

 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 use the initial values

 double lat = object.getLatitude(); double lng = object.getLongitude(); 

Answer 3

You can write a method:

 Location createNewLocation(double longitude, double latitude) { Location location = new Location("dummyprovider"); location.setLongitude(longitude); location.setLatitude(latitude); return location; } 

And then call it:

 Location myLoc = createNewLocation(dLong, dLati); 

Or you can use the line with Double.parse ():

 Location myLoc = createNewLocation(Double.parse("s.Long"), Double.parse("s.Lati"));
