how do you extract the geolocation information from a photo in android?

Question

I am fairly new to android and I am creating an app that uses the camera intent to take a photo and stores it into a database along with some other info. my trouble is that I need to get the latitude and longitude from that photo and store it into the database as well. I have searched very thoroughly and can not seem to find out how to extract the location information from a photo. any help will be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance

Create an ExifInterface from the filename and then you can call getLatLong() to get the coordinates.
