In my android app, I want to get the geotag (lat,long) info from a image. I have this code but it always gets null values for the geo information. The other information reads perfectly fine. I have GPS from satellite setting enabled, and the geo tagging option in camera app enabled. Yet when I take a picture the geo info is null values. Does anyone know what is wrong?
My phone is Samsung Galaxy S2X with android 4.1.2 (SGH-T989D).
try {
String imagefile = MyImage.getPath(this, data.getData());
ExifInterface exifInterface = new ExifInterface(imagefile);
String exif="Exif: " + imagefile;
exif += "\nIMAGE_LENGTH: " + exifInterface.getAttribute(ExifInterface.TAG_IMAGE_LENGTH);
exif += "\nIMAGE_WIDTH: " + exifInterface.getAttribute(ExifInterface.TAG_IMAGE_WIDTH);
exif += "\n DATETIME: " + exifInterface.getAttribute(ExifInterface.TAG_DATETIME);
