title: Get current coordinates Android
body: <p>I have two classes <strong>MainActivity.java</strong> (Main Class) &amp; <strong>MyCurrentLoctionListener.java</strong></p>
  
  <p>I am willing to get my current geo location when I run my app (onLoad-onCreate) :</p>
  
  <p><strong>I get Hi :: null</strong></p>
  
  <p><strong>even though I defined myLocation as public , so the MainActivity.java (Main Class) can see it.</strong></p>
  
  <p><strong>MainActivity.java :</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>package com.example.test;
  
  import android.location.LocationManager;
  import android.os.Bundle;
  import android.app.Activity;
  import android.content.Context;
  import android.view.Menu;

  MyCurrentLoctionListener locationListener = new MyCurrentLoctionListener();
  locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0,locationListener);    
  
  txt1.setText("HI :: " + locationListener.myLocation);

  }
