location services not working second time

if i run this, for first time it will ask location permissions and gives the gps location but after closing and opening it again it wont give any data
have uninstall and re-install it agian, then it works fine, can anyone help me??
i have been working on this for couple of weeks and i am stuck here
locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);

Android App Architecture: Implements user permission in lifecycle

I have a LocationListener which is extended LiveData Class. From the Android 6.0, the permission is requested in runtime. Now , when I tried to implements the LiveData Class and it required the permission checking in onActive() function. I have to make the boilerplate code in each activity for the permission requested and result received. Is there any way to move such
onRequestPermissionsResult() and checkSelfPermission() functions to the LocationListener ?
LocationFragment.java
public class LocationFragment extends LifecycleFragment {
private FragmentLocationBinding binding;
public LocationFragment() {
// Required empty public constructor
}
#Override
public void onActivityCreated(#Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(getActivity(),
permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION)
!= PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// Should we show an explanation?
if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(getActivity(),
Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION)) {
// Show an explanation to the user *asynchronously* -- don't block
// this thread waiting for the user's response! After the user
// sees the explanation, try again to request the permission.
} else {
// No explanation needed, we can request the permission.
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(getActivity(),
new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION},
200);
// MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_READ_CONTACTS is an
// app-defined int constant. The callback method gets the
// result of the request.
}
}
//get the viewmodel from activity
LastLocationViewModel lastLocationViewModel = ViewModelProviders.of(getActivity())
.get(LastLocationViewModel.class);
lastLocationViewModel.getLastKnowLocation().observe(this, location -> {
binding.setLocation(location);
});
}
#Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode,
String permissions[], int[] grantResults) {
switch (requestCode) {
case 200: {
// If request is cancelled, the result arrays are empty.
if (grantResults.length > 0
&& grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Rights Granted", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
// permission was granted, yay! Do the
// contacts-related task you need to do.
} else {
// permission denied, boo! Disable the
// functionality that depends on this permission.
}
return;
}
// other 'case' lines to check for other
// permissions this app might request
}
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
binding = DataBindingUtil
.inflate(LayoutInflater.from(getActivity()), R.layout.fragment_location, null, false);
return binding.getRoot();
}
}
LastLocationListener.java
public class LastLocationListener extends LiveData<Location> {
private LocationManager locationManager;
private Context context;
private LocationListener listener = new LocationListener() {
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
Log.d("Location Msg", location.toString());
setValue(location);
}
#Override
public void onStatusChanged(String s, int i, Bundle bundle) {
}
#Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String s) {
}
#Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String s) {
}
};
public LastLocationListener(Context context) {
this.context = context;
locationManager = (LocationManager) context.getSystemService(
Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
}
#Override
protected void onActive() {
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)
!= PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED
&& ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION)
!= PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// TODO: Consider calling
// ActivityCompat#requestPermissions
// here to request the missing permissions, and then overriding
// public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions,
// int[] grantResults)
// to handle the case where the user grants the permission. See the documentation
// for ActivityCompat#requestPermissions for more details.
return;
}
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 0, 0, listener);
}
#Override
protected void onInactive() {
locationManager.removeUpdates(listener);
}
}

when I tried to implements the LiveData Class and it required the permission checking in onActive() function
No, it does not. What you are seeing is a Lint warning, which you can suppress.
What is required is that you hold the permission before attempting to use this particular bit of LiveData.
Is there any way to move such onRequestPermissionsResult() and checkSelfPermission() functions to the LocationListener ?
No.

Can't get GPS coordinates in android application

I use this code to get the current location's coordinates. When I start this activity, nothing happens. When I use this exact code in another application it worked. The only difference that I use this location-getter in a different class, not in MainActivity. When I open that app a service comes up and starts searching the coordinates. In this case (GetLocationPS) nothing happens.
What could be the problem?

In onLocationChanged() you get location which you can use to get latitude and longitude. Also, this code does not give continuous location updates. For that you have to set UPDATE INTERVAL & FASTEST UPDATE INTERVAL in method createLocationRequest().

Ask location permissions inside service

I am getting the location data using a service, this service is started when my app runs on a activity, and i need that activity to ask for the permissions.
So basicly this is my service (it works fine)
public class GoogleLocation extends Service implements GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks,
GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener,
LocationListener {
private static final String TAG = "BOOMBOOMTESTGPS";
private static final long FASTEST_UPDATE_INTERVAL_IN_MILLISECONDS = 0;
private LocationManager mLocationManager = null;
private static final int LOCATION_INTERVAL = 0;
private static final float LOCATION_DISTANCE = 0f;
private int updatePriority;
private GoogleApiClient googleApiClient;

}
return;
}
}
}
}
the thing is, i need to ask for permissions when he runs the app for the first time, or he has the location disabled. And that never happens.
I should just start the service when the user has give the permission.
Any help with this?
Thanks

you can ask for any permission in runtime in this way:
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(getActivity(), Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)) {
} else {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(getActivity(), new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION}, RC_ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION);
}
}
and you can get it's result in:
#Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String permissions[], int[] grantResults) {
switch (requestCode) {
case RC_ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION: {
}
}
}

#Override
protected Boolean processInBackground(Void... params) {
PermissionResponse response = PermissionEverywhere.getPermission(getApplicationContext(),
new String[]{Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE},
REQ_CODE,
"Notification title",
"This app need external permisison",
R.launcher)
.call();
boolean isGranted = response.isGranted();
if(isGrante){
// here do your stuff
}
}

Access Application context data through activities

This question can be a little complex, but I try to explain it as best I can.
Basically I am trying to get last location (lat, long) with my application, so I did something like this:
public class GoogleLocation extends Activity implements GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks, GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener, LocationListener {

if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION},
30);
}
}
Location location = lm.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
if(location != null){
longitude = location.getLongitude();
latitude = location.getLatitude();
}
Log.d("IMHERE","IMHERE");
Log.d("latitude",String.valueOf(latitude));
final LocationListener locationListener = new LocationListener() {
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
longitude = location.getLongitude();
latitude = location.getLatitude();
//Log.d("latitudee",String.valueOf(latitude));
}
#Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
}
#Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
}
#Override

}
};
lm.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 2000, 10, locationListener);
}
protected void onStart() {
mGoogleApiClient.connect();
super.onStart();
}

mGoogleApiClient.disconnect();

// Ignore the error.
}
break;

It just works if it pass trough the onLocationChanged, so the first time it enters it takes some seconds to get the location, the second time I try that, my application already got a last location and it takes more 10 seconds to reach the new location.
At this point everything fine.
Now what I want to do is run this in background, thats why I changed the extends to activity, and try in background with that onLocationChanged to updated my location.
Something like in this example.
Every time my application detects a new location, I want to updated(do a setLocation or whatever in my class).
As I said I want to do this every time I start my application and this should run that in background, every time I access this class it should retrieve me the last location, and I want to access this class from different locations.
My full code:
public class GoogleLocation extends Activity implements GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks, GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener, LocationListener {
GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient = null;
Location mLastLocation = null;
LocationManager lm;
Double latitude;
Double longitude;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
connectLocation();
}
#Override

ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION},
30);
}
}
Location location = lm.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
if(location != null){
longitude = location.getLongitude();
latitude = location.getLatitude();
}
Log.d("IMHERE","IMHERE");
Log.d("latitude",String.valueOf(latitude));
final LocationListener locationListener = new LocationListener() {
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {

lm.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 2000, 10, locationListener);
}

locationRequest.setFastestInterval(5 * 1000);
LocationSettingsRequest.Builder builder = new LocationSettingsRequest.Builder()

//**************************

PendingResult<LocationSettingsResult> result =

result.setResultCallback(new ResultCallback<LocationSettingsResult>() {
#Override

final Status status = result.getStatus();
final LocationSettingsStates state = result.getLocationSettingsStates();
switch (status.getStatusCode()) {
case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.SUCCESS:
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(
GoogleLocation.this, 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;
}
}
});
}
}
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
mLastLocation = location;
Log.d("mLastLocation",String.valueOf(location.getLatitude()));

}
How can I do that?

This code gets you location between 10 - 5 second intervals and they pass through onLocationChanged ... the GetLastKnowLocation gets you the last known location to the device... so sometimes it could return null...
CODE EXPLANATION
This code block in the OnCreate connects to the Google API Client with callbacks pointing back to the activity.
if (mGoogleApiClient == null) {
mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
.addConnectionCallbacks(this)
.addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
.addApi(LocationServices.API)
.build();
} else {
mGoogleApiClient.connect();
}
THIS IS IMPORTANT
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener,
GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks, ResultCallback<LocationSettingsResult> ,LocationListener {
Creates A location request like yours with intervals
protected LocationRequest createLocationRequest() {
mLocationRequest = new LocationRequest();
mLocationRequest.setInterval(10000);
mLocationRequest.setFastestInterval(5000);
mLocationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
return mLocationRequest;
}
WHEN GOOGLE API CONNECTS CHECK SETTINGS AND PERMISSIONS
#Override
public void onConnected(Bundle bundle) {
Log.e("Connection", "GOOGLE API Connected");
LocationSettingsRequest.Builder builder = new LocationSettingsRequest.Builder()
.addLocationRequest(createLocationRequest());
PendingResult<LocationSettingsResult> result =
LocationServices.SettingsApi.checkLocationSettings(mGoogleApiClient,
builder.build());
result.setResultCallback(this);
}
THE SETTINGS CALLBACK RETURNS TO ACTIVITY HERE
In this block we check the status of the settings and see if they return success we check for permission ... if we have permission to access the location ... then we getPhoneLocation() OPTION A ... if we dont have permission we ask for permission and the callback goes to OPTION B
`#Override`
public void onResult(LocationSettingsResult locationSettingsResult) {
final Status status = locationSettingsResult.getStatus();
switch (status.getStatusCode()) {
case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.SUCCESS:
if (!(ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) ==
PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED &&
ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) ==
PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED)) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this,
new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION},
222);
}
else
{
getPhoneLocation();
}
// All location settings are satisfied. The client can
// initialize location requests here.
break;
case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.RESOLUTION_REQUIRED:
// Location settings are not satisfied, but this can be fixed
// by showing the user a dialog.
try {
// Show the dialog by calling startResolutionForResult(),
// and check the result in onActivityResult().
status.startResolutionForResult(
MainActivity.this,
111);
} 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;
}
}
OPTION B
In this block we get the Return from checking the user permission ... if he accepted the request for location we go on to get the PhoneLocation ... if no we close the activity.
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
Log.e("Activity","Result");
if(requestCode != 333) {
if (!(ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) ==
PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED &&
ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) ==
PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED)) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this,
new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION},
222);
} else {
getPhoneLocation();
}
}
else
{
if(resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
finish();
}
}
}
ADD THE LOCATION REQUESTS (OPTION A)
protected void getPhoneLocation() {
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
return;
}
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(
mGoogleApiClient, mLocationRequest, this);
}
NOW YOU HAVE LOCATION
Now you have the location in the given interval as long as the Activity is open.
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
lat = location.getLatitude();
lng = location.getLongitude();
}
