Amir,
I've developed a similar app just for kicks (so the wife can keep
track of me) ;)
I did the following:
LocationManager lm = (LocationManager)
context.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
Location loc = lm.getLastKnownLocation("gps");
if (loc == null)
{
locType = "Network";
loc = lm.getLastKnownLocation("network");
}
In this case if the GPS service does not have a fix or is switched
off, the network, though not as accurate as GPS should be active and
give you an approximate location.
All the best,
Akbur
