The location obtained by getLastLocation () always returns null [duplicate]

I'm making several attempts, but I can not get a user's current location using the Location API .

I'm running the following example:

    public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks, GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener {

     Location localizacao;
     GoogleApiClient mapGoogleApiClient;
     EditText edtLat;
     EditText edtLog;
     Button btLocalizacao;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    edtLat = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edtLatitude);
    edtLog = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edtLongitude);
    btLocalizacao = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btLocalizacao);

    if (mapGoogleApiClient == null) {
        mapGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
                .addConnectionCallbacks(this)
                .addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
                .addApi(LocationServices.API)
                .build();
    }

    btLocalizacao.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            GPS();
        }
    });
    }




    @TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.M)
    public void GPS() {
if(checkSelfPermission(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)!=PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && checkSelfPermission(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
        // TODO: Consider calling
        //    public void requestPermissions(@NonNull String[] permissions, int requestCode)
        // here to request the missing permissions, and then overriding
        //   public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions,
        //                                          int[] grantResults)
        // to handle the case where the user grants the permission. See the documentation
        // for Activity#requestPermissions for more details.
        return;
    }
    localizacao = LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation(mapGoogleApiClient);
    if (localizacao != null) {
        edtLat.setText(String.valueOf(localizacao.getLatitude()));
        edtLog.setText(String.valueOf(localizacao.getLongitude()));
    } else {
        AlertDialog erroLocation = new AlertDialog.Builder(this).create();
        erroLocation.setIcon(R.drawable.alert);
        erroLocation.setTitle("Localização não encontrada");
        erroLocation.setMessage("Sua Localização não foi encontrada!! Tente novamente!");
        erroLocation.show();
    }
}

@Override
public void onConnected(Bundle bundle) {

}

@Override
public void onConnectionSuspended(int i) {

}

@Override
public void onConnectionFailed(ConnectionResult connectionResult) {

}}

The system runs perfectly, but it ends every moment falling into the else (code below) of the GPS method, because it is not passing the location:

else {
    AlertDialog erroLocation = new AlertDialog.Builder(this).create();
    erroLocation.setIcon(R.drawable.alert);
    erroLocation.setTitle("Localização não encontrada");
    erroLocation.setMessage("Sua Localização não foi encontrada!! Tente novamente!");
    erroLocation.show();
}

This question is not duplicated, as it is a different case and was using other methods to make it work. Answer below solved this question successfully.

As warned by our friend in the comments, I decided to improve the answer by posting two ways to capture GPS, using GoogleApiClient and using LocationManager . Under the conditions of Android 6.0 (Api level 23) there is the Requesting Permissions at Run Time which issue of permissions, which is very interesting you give read and learn more.

1. Google Location API

  

Location APIs make it easy to build applications with science   location and low power consumption. Like Google Maps Android   API, the Location API is distributed as part of the Google Play SDK   Services.

Main class

public class Main extends AppCompatActivity implements GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks, GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener {

    GoogleApiClient mapGoogleApiClient;
    EditText edtLat;
    EditText edtLog;
    Button btLocalizacao;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main_get_localization);

        edtLat = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.et1);
        edtLog = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.et2);
        btLocalizacao = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btLocalizacao);

        if (mapGoogleApiClient == null) {
            mapGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
                    .addConnectionCallbacks(this)
                    .addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
                    .addApi(LocationServices.API)
                    .build();
        }

        btLocalizacao.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                if (GetLocalization(Main.this)) {
                    if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(Main.this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(Main.this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                        // TODO: Consider calling
                        return;
                    }
                    Location location = LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation(mapGoogleApiClient);
                    if (location != null) {
                        edtLat.setText(String.valueOf(location.getLatitude()));
                        edtLog.setText(String.valueOf(location.getLongitude()));
                    } else {
                        showSettingsAlert();
                    }
                }
            }
        });
    }

    @Override
    protected void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        mapGoogleApiClient.connect();
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPause() {
        super.onPause();
        if (mapGoogleApiClient.isConnected()) {
            mapGoogleApiClient.disconnect();
        }
    }
    @Override
    public void onConnected(Bundle bundle) {

    }

    @Override
    public void onConnectionSuspended(int i) {

    }

    @Override
    public void onConnectionFailed(ConnectionResult connectionResult) {

    }

    public boolean GetLocalization(Context context){
        int REQUEST_PERMISSION_LOCALIZATION = 221;
        boolean res=true;
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
            if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                // TODO: Consider calling
                res = false;
                ActivityCompat.requestPermissions((Activity) context, new String[]{
                                Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION},
                        REQUEST_PERMISSION_LOCALIZATION);

            }
        }
        return res;
    }

    /**
     * Este metodo exite uma alerta para configuração do GPS
     */
    public void showSettingsAlert(){
        android.app.AlertDialog.Builder alertDialog = new android.app.AlertDialog.Builder(Main.this);

        // Titulo do dialogo
        alertDialog.setTitle("GPS");

        // Mensagem do dialogo
        alertDialog.setMessage("GPS não está habilitado. Deseja configurar?");

        // On pressing Settings button
        alertDialog.setPositiveButton("Configurar", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog,int which) {
                Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS);
                Main.this.startActivity(intent);
            }
        });

        // on pressing cancel button
        alertDialog.setNegativeButton("Cancelar", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                dialog.cancel();
            }
        });

        // visualizacao do dialogo
        alertDialog.show();
    }
}

2. LocationManager

I did some testing and created a class called ObtainGPS to solve your problem, which would capture its current location (latitude / longitude). It also has a showSettingsAlert() method that verifies that the device's GPS is enabled, if not enabled, the app directs you to configure / enable it. Well, on Main you just need to declare ObtainGPS in addition to creating a GetLocalization method. Then it would look like this:

Main class

public class Main extends AppCompatActivity {

    ObtainGPS gps;
    Button btLocalizacao;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main_get_localization);

        btLocalizacao = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button3);

        btLocalizacao.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                getLocalization();
            }
        });
    }

    public void getLocalization() {
        gps = new ObtainGPS(Main.this);


        if (GetLocalization(Main.this)) {
            // check if GPS enabled
            if (gps.canGetLocation()) {

                AlertDialog erroLocation = new AlertDialog.Builder(this).create();
                erroLocation.setTitle("Localização");
                erroLocation.setMessage("Lat:" + gps.getLatitude() + " Lng:" + gps.getLongitude());
                erroLocation.show();

            } else {

                AlertDialog erroLocation = new AlertDialog.Builder(this).create();
                erroLocation.setTitle("Localização não encontrada");
                erroLocation.setMessage("Sua Localização não foi encontrada!! Tente novamente!");
                erroLocation.show();
                gps.showSettingsAlert();
            }

        }
    }

    public boolean GetLocalization(Context context) {
        int REQUEST_PERMISSION_LOCALIZATION = 221;
        boolean res = true;
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
            if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                // TODO: Consider calling
                //    public void requestPermissions(@NonNull String[] permissions, int requestCode)
                // here to request the missing permissions, and then overriding
                //   public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions,
                //                                          int[] grantResults)
                // to handle the case where the user grants the permission. See the documentation
                // for Activity#requestPermissions for more details.

                res = false;
                ActivityCompat.requestPermissions((Activity) context, new String[]{
                                Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION},
                        REQUEST_PERMISSION_LOCALIZATION);

            }
        }
        return res;
    }
}

One comment I'm using here is getLastKnownLocation

location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);

ObtainGPS class

public class ObtainGPS extends Service implements LocationListener {

    private final Context mContext;

    // flag for GPS status
    boolean isGPSEnabled = false;

    // flag for network status
    boolean isNetworkEnabled = false;

    // flag for GPS status
    boolean canGetLocation = false;

    Location location; // location
    double latitude; // latitude
    double longitude; // longitude

    // The minimum distance to change Updates in meters
    private static final long MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES = 10; // 10 meters

    // The minimum time between updates in milliseconds
    private static final long MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES = 1000 * 60 * 1; // 1 minute

    // Declaring a Location Manager
    protected LocationManager locationManager;

    public ObtainGPS(Context context) {
        this.mContext = context;

        getLocation();
    }

    public Location getLocation() {
        try {
            locationManager = (LocationManager) mContext
                    .getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);

            // getting GPS status
            isGPSEnabled = locationManager
                    .isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);

            // getting network status
            isNetworkEnabled = locationManager
                    .isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);

            if (!isGPSEnabled && !isNetworkEnabled) {
                // no network provider is enabled
            } else {
                this.canGetLocation = true;
                // First get location from Network Provider
                if (isNetworkEnabled) {

                    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {

Icreated a repository in Github named obtgps picking lambs using two shapes. You can download the project and do the proper checks.

Although its implementation is minimal, to obtain the location I think that only need to call mapGoogleApiClient.connect() .

I overrride methods of onStart() and onStop() like this:

@Override
public void onStart() {
    super.onStart();
    mapGoogleApiClient.connect();
}

@Override
public void onStop() {
    super.onStop();
    mapGoogleApiClient.disconnect();
}
