I'm pretty sure I answered your question when you asked it a few days ago.

loc will generally be null at this point.
In the real world, GPS takes time to get a fix, perhaps tens of seconds,
perhaps never depending on where the device is. You only asked for the
radio to be turned on in the previous statement -- the fix will not be
ready one line later in your code.

You will need to delay this work until you get your first fix, such as by
putting it in your locationListener. And you will need to deal with the
possibility that you will never get a fix, either because GPS is disabled,
or because the device is someplace where it cannot get a fix.
