I am not sure I follow the question here, in terms of Mock vs
"actual" (are you using the emulator, or an actual device, and if you
are using the emulator remember you have to send a location to it
before it will have a location set, if you just start it up, it won't
know where it is - use the DDMS tool or such).
Location location = this.locationManager.getLastKnownLocation
(locationProvider);
Where locationManager is a LocationManager:
locationManager = (LocationManager) this.getSystemService
(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
And locationProvider is a LocationProvider that represents "gps":
locationProvider = this.locationManager.getProvider("gps");
A Location object has lat/long and more (depending on the provider):
http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/location/Location.html.
You can also register to get location updates using a
LocationListener, or a BroadcastReceiver (and MyLocationOverlay,
though it's a bit more coarse grained).
