As part of an application for registrer whether a vehicle can pass the
next traffic light without having stop for red light, I am trying to
get the GPS Location.

So far I have tried the code below, but the HTC Tattoo telephone keeps
stopping the application.
The reason is that the List providers remains empty.

Is there any way that I can extend my code, so I can understand why
providers remains empty.
I know I get a NullPointerException, but I don't know why as GPS is
enabled.

I will really appreciate your help on how to get
- status of the GPS
- content of providers.

The code is listed below (I don't get any compilation errors):

protected void onResume() {
        List providers;
        final String tag = "readdata";

        super.onResume();

        locationManager = (LocationManager)
getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
        providers = locationManager.getProviders(true);

        if (!providers.isEmpty()) {
         location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation((String)
providers
            .get(0));
         locationManager.requestLocationUpdates((String)
providers.get(0),
             15000, 1, this);
         }
         GeoPoint p = new GeoPoint((int) (location.getLatitude() * 1E6),
            (int) (location.getLongitude() * 1E6));


             mc.animateTo(p);
             mc.setZoom(17);
             mapView.setSatellite(true);
             mapView.setStreetView(true);
             mapView.invalidate();

    }
