isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER) return false

Question

I am using `NETWORK_PROVIDER` to get `latitude` and `longitude` of the place. I'v already check the setting in the "location & security" and enable "use wireless networks". But `"isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER)"` always return `false`. Can anyone help me? Thank you in advance! Here is my code : ``` LocationManager locManager=(LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE); boolean isEnableGPS=locManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER); boolean isEnableNTW=locManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER); Log.d(TAG, isEnableGPS+", "+isEnableNTW); ``` permission in the AndroidMainfest.xml ```

```

Make sure that network based location is enabled in the phone's settings. You can detect this situation and prompt the user to enable it if you really need it.

I believe this is the line of code to launch this activity.

```
activity.startActivity(new Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS);
```

ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS
