I think there is no problem in your code if it runs in emulator. But you have not start the gps on your phone, so it's giving a null pointer exception.

So now when you use gps, first check whether gps is on or not. Then fetch lat. and long.

You can check your gps is on or off by this:

LocationManager mlocManager = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);

boolean val= mlocManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER)

First of all, tell us what errors are you getting when you run it on the device. Logcat messages!?

Secondly, there must be any webservice which gives you the nearby cinema theatres, so you might be required to give it your current location in latitude and longitude.

For getting your current location, GPS is necessary.

On the other note, you can also use NETWORK_PROVIDER to get your current location.
