getLastKnownLocation returning 0,0 in Android

Question

I'm trying to simply return the lat/lon of my current position using GPS. No matter what I do, the return is 0,0 for both Network and GPS. I've tried going by a window.

Here is my GPS code:

import android.app.Service;

//
import android.Manifest;
import android.app.AlertDialog;
import android.app.Service;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.DialogInterface;
import android.content.Intent;

import android.content.pm.PackageManager;
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.support.v4.app.ActivityCompat;
import android.util.Log;
import android.widget.Toast;


public class TrackGPS extends Service implements LocationListener {

    private final Context mContext;


    boolean checkGPS = false;


    boolean checkNetwork = false;

    boolean canGetLocation = false;

    Location loc;
    double latitude;
    double longitude;


    private static final long MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES = 10;


    private static final long MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES = 1000 * 60 * 1;
    protected LocationManager locationManager;

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

    private Location getLocation() {

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

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

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

            if (!checkGPS && !checkNetwork) {
                Toast.makeText(mContext, "No Service Provider Available", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            } else {
                this.canGetLocation = true;
                // First get location from Network Provider
                if (checkNetwork) {

                    try {
                        locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(
                                LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER,
                                0,
                                0, this);
                        Log.d("Network", "Network");
                        if (locationManager != null) {

                                    .getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);

                        }

                        if (loc != null) {

                    }
                }
            }
            // if GPS Enabled get lat/long using GPS Services
            if (checkGPS) {
                Toast.makeText(mContext, "GPS", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                if (loc == null) {

                            if (loc != null) {

                                longitude = loc.getLongitude();
                            }
                        }
                    } catch (SecurityException e) {

                    }
                }
            }

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

        return loc;
    }

    public double getLongitude() {
        if (loc != null) {

    @Override

    }

    @Override
    public void onProviderDisabled(String s) {

}

Here is my Main Activity:

import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    private Button b_get;
    private TrackGPS gps;
    double longitude;
    double latitude;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        b_get = (Button)findViewById(R.id.get);



        b_get.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {

                gps = new TrackGPS(MainActivity.this);


                if(gps.canGetLocation()){


                    longitude = gps.getLongitude();
                    latitude = gps .getLatitude();

                    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Longitude:"+Double.toString(longitude)+"\nLatitude:"+Double.toString(latitude),Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }
                else
                {

                    gps.showSettingsAlert();
                }

            }
        });
    }

    @Override
    protected void onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy();
        gps.stopUsingGPS();
    }
}

Here is my Android Manifest:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.quantums3.getcurrentlocation">

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
        <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

</manifest>

Thanks in advance.

getLastKnownLocation returning 0,0 in Android

Not actually, the above method returned null in your case and due to your TrackGPS structure, you are seeing default values of double latitude; double longitude;
