In my Android application, I want to use both the GPS provider and the network provider for location updates for 5 seconds. First, I would like to use GPS provider (because it gives accurate results), and if the GPS provider returns latitude and longitude as 0.0 and 0.0, then I want to use network provider, but I don't want to use both the providers simultaneously. Any suggestions?
