can't get location from network isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER) always false

Question

I am able to get location when GPS is on, but can't get location when it's off. I am trying to get the location from NETWORK_PROVIDER but it doesn't work. also tried using FusedLocationApi but it is always null.

I use this permission in my Manifest:

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


<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.location.gps" />



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

locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);

is always false.

what am i doing wrong ?

Answer 1

Add this to your permissions to use NetWork Provider:

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