Get location android Kotlin

Question

I recently added get location function. When I try to show longitude and latitude, it returns zero.

This my LocationListener class:

inner class Myloc

I know it's late, but now Google has made it simpler to use. In the developer site, it says that you need to create a Client:

private lateinit var fusedLocationClient: FusedLocationProviderClient

Then onCreate get the provider:

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    // ...
    fusedLocationClient = LocationServices.getFusedLocationProviderClient(this)
}

And finally, to get your last location just call:

//Don't forget to ask for permissions for ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION 
//and ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
@SuppressLint("MissingPermission")
private fun obtieneLocalizacion(){
    fusedLocationClient.lastLocation
            .addOnSuccessListener { location: Location? ->
                latitude =  location?.latitude
                longitude = location?.longitude
            }
}

*Tested with this implementation for location (Setup in your app gradle file)

implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:15.0.1'
