Error #14876 - wrong coordinates received! What am I doing wrong?

I have fiddled around with the getLatitude() and getLongitude() methods in the overridden handleMessage but either get syntax errors when using the . operator or the same error message Error #14876 - wrong coordinates received!

Any ideas on how to get the right coordinates received?

GeolocationService.java 
Error #14876 - wrong coordinates received!

public class GeolocationService extends Service {
    int mLatitude;
    int mLongitude;

    // some methods omitted

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

  class LocationHandler extends Handler { 
    GeolocationService mService = GeolocationService.this;

    @Override
    public void handleMessage(Message msg){
      mService.getLatitude();
      mService.getLongitude();
    }
  }
}

You need to set the coordinate fields, so you need assignments:

public class GeolocationService extends Service {
    int mLatitude;
    int mLongitude;

    // some methods omitted

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

  class LocationHandler extends Handler{
    @Override
    public void handleMessage(Message msg){
      mLatitude = getLatitude();
      mLongitude = getLongitude();
    }  
  }    
}
