I am suffering from the problem of getting value 0.0 as latitude and longitude in Android Marshmallow (API 23) i.e. 6.0.
I have searched a lot regarding this but didn't find solution of it. My code is fully working for the other API versions which are less than 23.
I have also put the code for selfPermission and which all are working instead it's giving me 0.0 as late and long.
Please have a look on the way I am following:
GPSTracker.java
public class GPSTracker extends Service implements LocationListener {
private 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 = 1000;
// 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;
Activity activity;
public GPSTracker() {

isGPSEnabled = locationManager
.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
// Getting network status

I have gone through many links provided in Stack Overflow but none of them helped me to solve this problem.
I would appreciate any kind of help here.
