Knowing the current location in an android mobile will pave the way for developing many innovative Android apps to solve peoples daily problem. For developing location aware application in android, it needs location providers. There are two types of location providers,
- GPS Location Provider
- Network Location Provider
Any one of the above providers is enough to get current location of the user or user’s device. But, it is recommended to use both providers as they both have different advantages.
