I've been working on trying to **get the current location** in **android** since several days but I didn't find a solution yet.

I know there are similar topics regarding this but in my case the code it didn't work. Is there anyone who has already solved this issue and can help me?

I add some tests I did.
Here's the GPS Tracker class.

```
package utility;

import android.app.AlertDialog;
import android.app.Service;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.DialogInterface;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.location.Location;
import android.location.LocationListener;
import android.location.LocationManager;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.IBinder;
import android.provider.Settings;
import android.util.Log;

public class GPSTracker extends Service implements LocationListener {

    private final Context mContext;

    // flag for GPS status
    boolean isGPSEnabled = false;

    // flag for network status
    boolean isNetworkEnabled = false;

    // flag for GPS status
    boolean canGetLocation = false;

    Location location; // location
    double latitude; // latitude
    double longitude; // longitude

    // The minimum distance to change Updates in meters
    private static final long MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES = 1; // 10 meters

    // The minimum time between updates in milliseconds
    private static final long MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES = 1000 * 60 * 1; // 1 minute

    // Declaring a Location Manager
    protected LocationManager locationManager;

    public GPSTracker(Context context) {
        this.mContext = context;
        getLocation();
    }

    public Location getLocation() {
        try {
            locationManager = (LocationManager) mContext
                    .getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);

            // getting GPS status
            isGPSEnabled = locationManager
                    .isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);

            // getting network status
            isNetworkEnabled = locationManager
                    .isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);

            if (!isGPSEnabled && !isNetworkEnabled) {
                // no network provider is enabled
            } else {
                this.canGetLocation = true;
                // First get location from Network Provider
                if (isNetworkEnabled) {
                    try {
                        locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES, MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES, this);
                    } catch (SecurityException e) {

                    }
                    Log.d("Network", "Network");
                    if (locationManager != null) {

                        try {
                            location = locationManager
                                    .getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
                        } catch (SecurityException e) {

                        }

                        if (location != null) {
                            latitude = location.getLatitude();
                            longitude = location.getLongitude();
                        }
                    }
                }
                // if GPS Enabled get lat/long using GPS Services
                if (isGPSEnabled) {
                    if (location == null) {

                        try {
                            locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(
                                    LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,

                    }
                }
            }

        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();

    @Override

    }

    @Override
    public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0) {
        return null;
    }

}

```

And I instantiated this class in my activity, as follows:

```
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.widget.ImageButton;
import android.widget.TextView;

import utility.GPSTracker;

public class AroundMeActivity extends Activity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_around_me);

        TextView location_text = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.location_text);

        GPSTracker gps;
        double latitude = 0.0;
        double longitude = 0.0;

        gps = new GPSTracker(AroundMeActivity.this);

        // check if GPS enabled
        if(gps.canGetLocation())
        {
            latitude = gps.getLatitude();
            longitude = gps.getLongitude();
        }
        else
        {
            gps.showSettingsAlert();
        }

        location_text.setText(latitude + " " + longitude);

    }
}

```

The results is 0.0 for both latitude and longitude.

Thank you in advance guys!!!
