How to enable the GPS location in android webview?

I tried hablitar the GPS location function for putting this in the manifest android:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_GPS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_ASSISTED_GPS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />

and putting the webview settings this:

setGeolocationEnabled(true);

but still not working. What should I do to make it work? I'm new to this.

You need to begin requesting GPS updates in the code.

LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) this.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);

LocationListener locationListener = new LocationListener() {
    public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
                              // Called when a new location is found by the location provider.
    }
}
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 1000, 1000, locationListener);

You can then take the GPS values that you receive and pass them yo the webview through the URL
