原文地址：getLastKnownLocation()返回null的解决作者：luckzr

在应用 LocationManager.getLastKnownLocation("gps")获取gps定位的历程中老是报空指针异常

在网上百度查了不少材料创造这个问题多出现在2.0以上版本
解决法子 多是:
1.在AndroidManifest.xml中添加

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />


2.在emulator control中手动设置经纬度

但是我的程序这些都写了依旧报空指针

后来在外国论坛上终于找到一些启迪
一个哥们这样写代码

LocationManager mgr = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
Location location = mgr.getLastKnownLocation(bundle.getString("provider"));
while(location  == null)
{
  mgr.requestLocationUpdates("gps", 60000, 1, locationListener);
}


我试了一下还真有效,他的解释 是用debug创造getLastKnownLocation()法子 不是一次就能定位的，必须 多次才干成功 。

但是显然这样用循环一直等候很没效率 ,所以我重写了MapActivity的法子

   
        @Override
        protected void onResume() {
                super.onResume();
                mgr.requestLocationUpdates(bundle.getString("provider"), 60000, 1, locationListener);
        }

        @Override
        protected void onPause() {
                super.onPause();
                mgr.removeUpdates(locationListener);
        }


一样也成功 了。。[转载]getLastKnownLocation()返回null的解决

在外国技巧论坛上找了个解释 ，个人感到很贴切:

The call to request update for a location is not blocking, hence it wont wait there. Also the provider in emulator may not have been started.

A possible check could be to see if the settings in it disable gps provider then send geo fix.

However, I would use Location Listener, it would be ideal in your case since you need a geo fix to proceed further.Location Listener is Used for receiving notifications from the LocationManager when the location has changed. You can unregister the listener after first geofix.

Note: It can take some time on device to get current location, and even on device this can return null.
