getLastKnownLocation method always returns null

Question

I have a problem to fixed position. I use getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER); but always return null, i have set the permissions in your AndroidManifest.xml.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION" />

and enabled in Settings --> Location and Security --> location through network.

TextView locationShow = (TextView) this.findViewById(R.id.location);
    double latitude = 0.0, longitude = 0.0;
    LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
    if (locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER)) {
        Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
        if (location != null) {
            latitude = location.getLatitude();
            longitude = location.getLongitude();
        }
    }
    else {
        LocationListener locationListener = new LocationListener() {
            public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
                if (location != null) {
                    Log.i("SuperMap", "Location changed : Lat: " + location.getLatitude() + " Lng: " +
                        location.getLongitude());
                }
            }

            public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
            }

            public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
            }

            public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
            }
        };
        locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 1000, 0,
                                               locationListener);
        Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
        if (location != null) {
            latitude = location.getLatitude();
            longitude = location.getLongitude();
        }
        locationShow.setText("经度：" + latitude + "纬度：" + longitude);

I find that other apps can show the location correctly, so maybe there something wrong with my code.

getLastKnownLocation() give the last valid cached location.

You are trying to get the cached location from the Network Provider. You have to wait for a few minutes till you get a valid fix. Since the Network Provider's cache is empty, you are obviously getting a null there.
