Location details not getting saved in shared preferences

Question

I am trying to fetch the current location of the user and put those values in Shared preferences .But I am getting NPE while putting them into the SharedPreferences.Any help would be appreciated.Thanks.

My code :-

SharedPreferences pref1=this.getSharedPreferences("LocDetails", Context.MODE_WORLD_READABLE);
      LocationManager locationManager=   (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
        LocationListener locationListener = new GetCurrentLocation();
        locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0, locationListener);


              }

              public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
                latitude= location.getLatitude();
                longitude=location.getLongitude();

    SharedPreferences.Editor edit=pref1.edit();

                edit.putString("latitude", latitude);
                edit.putString("longitude", longitude);

                edit.commit();

           }

Error:-

}

Answer 1

pass the implemented class to the method not creating a new instance of it;

locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0, this);

Answer 2

 try 

  GPSTracker gps;

  LocationManager manager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(this.LOCATION_SERVICE);

    if (!manager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER)) {
        buildAlertMessageNoGps();
    } else {

        gps = new GPSTracker(myActivity.this);
        if (gps.canGetLocation()) {

            currentLatitude = gps.getLatitude();
            currentLongitude = gps.getLongitude();
        } else {
            gps.showSettingsAlert();

        }
    }

Answer 3

try below code:-

private final LocationListener mLocationListener = new LocationListener() {
    @Override
    public void onLocationChanged(final Location location) {
        //your code here
    }
};

oncreate

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    mLocationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);

    mLocationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, LOCATION_REFRESH_TIME,
            LOCATION_REFRESH_DISTANCE, mLocationListener);
}
