Android: How to: validate Location's latitude and longitude values

Question

How do you validate Location? seems that setting it to these values Location.setLatitude(999) & Location.setLongitude(999) are valid (means there's no any validation). Is there a Android way to validate it? (i know the maximum and minimum values of it but just wondering if there's already available using Android)

Answer 1

Here is the simple function that validates latitude and longitude

public boolean isValidLatLng(double lat, double lng){
    if(lat < -90 || lat > 90)
    {
        return false;
    }
    else if(lng < -180 || lng > 180)
    {
        return false;
    }
    return true;
}

Latitude measures how far north or south of the equator a place is located. The equator is situated at 0°, the North Pole at 90° north (or 90°, because a positive latitude implies north), and the South Pole at 90° south (or –90°). Latitude measurements range from 0° to (+/–)90°.

Longitude measures how far east or west of the prime meridian a place is located. The prime meridian runs through Greenwich, England. Longitude measurements range from 0° to (+/–)180°.
