NullPointerException error on an Android-GeoFire project

This is the error I'm getting: java.lang. Attempt to call the virtual method 'double android.location.Location.getLatitude()' on a null object reference results in a NullPointerException.Can anyone guide me on how to achieve this?

How to draw a route from current location to a markerpoint on Android Google Maps?

I'm new creating apps and I want to show a drawn route in a Google Map starting from the current location. I've just found how to get the current location, but now I'm stuck in the second part, which is drawing the route from the current location to another marker point.
Here is my code:

My concern is that I don't know how to implement the other marker and draw the route.
Thank you.

I have changed FusedLocationApi to FusedLocatinProviderClient however it still shows errors.
When I enter FusedLocationProviderClient, it comes up red and won't work either. I get an error.
Due to the issue I am unable to find the users location on my application.

You need to remove these statements
//stop location updates
if (mGoogleApiClient != null) {
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.removeLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, this);
}
}
Once they are gone you should have OnLocatioChanged working continuously.

You may try with OnMyLocationChangeListener like below:
public class MapsActivity extends FragmentActivity implements
OnMyLocationChangeListener {
#Override
public void onMyLocationChange(Location location) {
}
}

As per your stack trace Google API client is not connected or not able to connect.
So when the setting result is received, check whether the GoogleAPI client is connected or not.
case REQUEST_CHECK_SETTINGS:
switch (resultCode) {
case Activity.RESULT_OK:
if (mGoogleApiClient.isConnected()) {
startLocationUpdates();
}else{
Log.e(TAG,"Error in connecting Google API client");
}
break;
case Activity.RESULT_CANCELED:
settingsrequest();//keep asking if imp or do whatever
break;
}

you can see full here: https://developers.google.com/android/guides/permissions

Use below code,
public static void locationChecker(GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient, final Activity activity, int accuracy) {
LocationRequest locationRequest = LocationRequest.create();
locationRequest.setPriority(accuracy);
locationRequest.setInterval(30 * 1000);
locationRequest.setFastestInterval(5 * 1000);
LocationSettingsRequest.Builder builder = new LocationSettingsRequest.Builder()
.addLocationRequest(locationRequest);
builder.setAlwaysShow(true);
PendingResult<LocationSettingsResult> result =
LocationServices.SettingsApi.checkLocationSettings(mGoogleApiClient, builder.build());
result.setResultCallback(new ResultCallback<LocationSettingsResult>() {
#Override
public void onResult(LocationSettingsResult result) {
final Status status = result.getStatus();
final LocationSettingsStates state = result.getLocationSettingsStates();
switch (status.getStatusCode()) {
case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.SUCCESS:
// All location settings are satisfied. The client can initialize location
// requests here.
break;
case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.RESOLUTION_REQUIRED:
// Location settings are not satisfied. But could be fixed by showing the user
// a dialog.
try {
// Show the dialog by calling startResolutionForResult(),
// and check the result in onActivityResult().
status.startResolutionForResult(
activity, 1000);
} catch (IntentSender.SendIntentException e) {
// Ignore the error.
}
break;
case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.SETTINGS_CHANGE_UNAVAILABLE:
// Location settings are not satisfied. However, we have no way to fix the
// settings so we won't show the dialog.
break;
}
}
});
}
Also mGoogleApiClient should be connected before hitting this method.
