getLatitude() and getLongitude() crashes on android emulator
<p>I have a problem with an android application I am working on. The application is working fine until the point I add the two lines of code which get the latitude and longitude of the user. When I add this code my app crashes for no obvious reason. Here is the code with the getLatitude and getLongitude methods. When I remove those two lines the app works just fine. Any ideas why this is happening?</p>

<pre><code>public class Car_mode extends Activity implements LocationListener {

    private TextView latituteField;
private TextView longitudeField;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    setContentView(R.layout.carmode);

    latituteField = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.TextView04);
    longitudeField = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.TextView03);

    LocationManager locationManager =(LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);


    Location mostRecentLocation = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);

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



    latituteField.setText("test");
    longitudeField.setText("test");
    setButtonClickListener();


}

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
