Gps - Getting quotsatellites in viewquot and quotsatellites in usequot counts in Android

Questions

I am having an unusually difficult time getting correct "satellites in use" and "satellites in view" integers from my GPS implementation. I have reviewed numerous relevant Stackoverflow threads with no immediate enlightenment. Below is what I have so far that "should" work, however it does not. I ve rebuilt this several times from different perspectives without getting either the number of satellites in use or satellites in view. Thanks in advance...

public class GpsData extends Service implements LocationListener {
private GpsStatus mGpsStatus;
private final Context mContext;
boolean isGPSEnabled = false; // flag for GPS status
boolean isNetworkEnabled = false; // flag for network status
boolean canGetLocation = false; // flag for GPS status
Location location; // location
double dLatitude, dAltitude, dLongitude, dAccuracy, dSpeed, dSats; 
float fAccuracy, fSpeed;
long lSatTime;     // satellite time
String szSignalSource, szAltitude, szAccuracy, szSpeed;
public String szSatellitesInView; 
public String szSatellitesInUse;
public static String szSatTime;
private static final long MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES = 0; // 0 meters
private static final long MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES = 1000; //1 sec
