This is Library which is based on the code from this Github project.

GeoLocation
...|https://www.b4x.com
Author: DonManfred
Version: 1.1
  • GeoLocator
    • Events:
      • Location (success As Boolean, Lattitude As Double, Longitude As Double)
    • Functions:
      • geoAddress
      • GetLocation
      • Initialize (EventName As String)
    • Properties:
      • Address As String [read only]
      • City As String [read only]
      • Country As String [read only]
      • KnownName As String [read only]
      • Lattitude As Double [read only]
      • Longitude As Double [read only]
      • PostalCode As String [read only]
      • State As String [read only]

If get the Location from the System. It result in using th GPS Provider, Network Provider or PASSIVE_PROVIDER. In the resultevent you get info from which Provider the Location is from.

If to test on real device - no any errors: the address and GPS coords are got OK !
B4X: 
GeoLocation_Location(true, xx.25059298891574, yy.25199742987752, GPS_PROVIDER)
Thanks, Don !
But maybe to add more internal error traps ? To debug at any emulator or real devices.

Make sure to call the method geoAddress only after you got a valid Location.

Check v1.01. I´ve updated the lib in #1

For any further issue: You should always start a new thread for your questions.

Your library crashes if LocationProvidersAllowed is empty. I tested using the below code. I disabled Location to test this. I agree with
Luis Carrillo Escalona.

Dim Phone1 As Phone
Dim LocationProvidersAllowed As String
LocationProvidersAllowed = Phone1.GetSettings("location_providers_allowed")

I DonManfred,.. Great Library ;)

Is it possible to force the position update to obtain the address in the current coordinates?
thanks

You can call the method to get the location. It checks different providers and returns the one with a result.
B4X: 
    public void GetLocation(BA ba) {
        LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) ba.context.getSystemService(ba.context.LOCATION_SERVICE);

        if (!locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER)) {

            // showSettingsAlert();
            //Toast.makeText(context, "Permission Denied", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        String info = "Permission Denied";
            ba.raiseEventFromDifferentThread(this, null, 0, eventName + "_location", true, new Object[] {Boolean.valueOf(false),null,null,info});

        } else if (locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER)) {
            Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
            

            Location location1 = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
            Location location2 = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.PASSIVE_PROVIDER);
            if (location != null) {
                double latti = location.getLatitude();
                double longi = location.getLongitude();
                lattitude = latti;
                longitude = longi;
                fromMockProvider = location.isFromMockProvider();
            String info = "NETWORK_PROVIDER";
          ba.raiseEventFromDifferentThread(this, null, 0, eventName + "_location", true, new Object[] {Boolean.valueOf(true),lattitude,longitude, info, fromMockProvider});
            } else if (location1 != null) {
                double latti = location1.getLatitude();
                double longi = location1.getLongitude();
                lattitude = latti;
                longitude = longi;
            String info = "GPS_PROVIDER";
                fromMockProvider = location1.isFromMockProvider();
          ba.raiseEventFromDifferentThread(this, null, 0, eventName + "_location", true, new Object[] {Boolean.valueOf(true),lattitude,longitude, info, fromMockProvider});
            } else if (location2 != null) {
                double latti = location2.getLatitude();
                double longi = location2.getLongitude();
                lattitude = latti;
                longitude = longi;
                fromMockProvider = location2.isFromMockProvider();
            String info = "PASSIVE_PROVIDER";
          ba.raiseEventFromDifferentThread(this, null, 0, eventName + "_location", true, new Object[] {Boolean.valueOf(true),lattitude,longitude, info, fromMockProvider});
            } else {
                //Toast.makeText(context, "Unble to Trace your location", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            double value = 0;
                fromMockProvider = false;
                String info = "Unble to Trace your location";
          ba.raiseEventFromDifferentThread(this, null, 0, eventName + "_location", true, new Object[] {Boolean.valueOf(false),value,value, info, fromMockProvider});
            }
        }
    }
I don´t know if there is something to FORCE a faster result.

Great Library

same results as ashraffarid on Android 8 Hauwei

also if the gps location is disabled, the app crashes on line GeoLoc.geoAddress
Error : java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: 0, Size: 0

When the GPS location is enabled, same error continues until "Google Maps" application is opened and closed.

is there anything that needs to be corrected?

What does your sub looks like? It should be something like this:
B4X: 
Sub GeoLocation_Location(success As Boolean, Lattitude As Double, Longitude As Double, info As String)
'Something
Ens Sub
I've never tried this library, but should work. Also next time I suggest you to create a new thread to make questions.
