How to access Latitude and Longitude as variables from Service?

I'm having trouble trying to get the latitude and longitude from my Service and store them as variables so I can access them from other classes I'm building. I want to have them equal to the current latitude and longitude of the user and update them through the interval set in the requestLocation() method. I would like to store them as variables as I would like to perform some calculations using them and I have also written a Content Provider/Database Helper in order to store them in my local Sqlite database but can't right now as I cannot access them. Below can be seen my code for my Location service and MainActivity.
Location Service

//public double longitude;
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return binder;
}
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
fusedLocationProviderClient = LocationServices.getFusedLocationProviderClient(this);
locationCallback = new LocationCallback(){
// Whenever there is a Location Update, this method is where it occurs
#Override
public void onLocationResult(LocationResult locationResult) {
super.onLocationResult(locationResult);
// Log Result for Longitude and Latitude, call method to receive elsewhere
Log.d("myLog", "Latitude is: " + locationResult.getLastLocation().getLatitude() + ", " +
"Longitude is: " + locationResult.getLastLocation().getLongitude());
Intent intent = new Intent("ACT_LOC");
intent.putExtra("Latitude", locationResult.getLastLocation().getLatitude());
intent.putExtra("Longitude", locationResult.getLastLocation().getLongitude());
sendBroadcast(intent);
//double latitude = locationResult.getLastLocation().getLatitude();
//double longitude = locationResult.getLastLocation().getLongitude();
}
};
}
#Override

requestLocation();
return super.onStartCommand(intent, flags, startId);
}

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().

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 {
GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient = null;
Location mLastLocation = null;
LocationManager lm;
Double latitude;
Double longitude;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
connectLocation();
}
#Override
public void onConnected(#Nullable Bundle bundle) {
lm = (LocationManager) getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
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
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
}
};
lm.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 2000, 10, locationListener);
}
protected void onStart() {
mGoogleApiClient.connect();
super.onStart();
}
protected void onStop() {
mGoogleApiClient.disconnect();
super.onStop();
}
#Override
public void onConnectionSuspended(int i) {
}
#Override
public void onConnectionFailed(#NonNull ConnectionResult connectionResult) {
}
public void connectLocation(){
if (mGoogleApiClient == null) {
mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
.addApi(LocationServices.API)
.addConnectionCallbacks(this)
.addOnConnectionFailedListener(this).build();
mGoogleApiClient.connect();
LocationRequest locationRequest = LocationRequest.create();
locationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
locationRequest.setInterval(30 * 1000);
locationRequest.setFastestInterval(5 * 1000);
LocationSettingsRequest.Builder builder = new LocationSettingsRequest.Builder()
.addLocationRequest(locationRequest);
//**************************
builder.setAlwaysShow(true); //this is the key ingredient
//**************************
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:
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()));
}
#Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
}
#Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
}
#Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
}
}
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.

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();
}

GPS Location always remains active in notification tray after exit MapView

Original Title:
"Location set by GPS" still remains active after
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.removeLocationUpdates()
Edited Title:
GPS Location always remains active in notification tray after exit MapView
I want to disable remove the "Location set by GPS" and the location icon in top notification tray right after exit my map activity but it doesn't.
I'm using someone's code in stackoverflow which using following variable only:
GoogleMap mGoogleMap;
MapView mapView;
LocationRequest mLocationRequest;
GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;
Location mLastLocation;
Marker mCurrLocationMarker;
MapLocationListener mapLocationListener;
What I've tried:
#Override
public void onPause() {
super.onPause();
//stop location updates when Activity is no longer active
if (mGoogleApiClient != null) {
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.removeLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, mapLocationListener);
if(mGoogleApiClient != null){
mGoogleApiClient = null;
}
if(mapView != null){
mapView = null;
}
if(mGoogleMap != null){
mGoogleMap = null;
}
if(mLocationRequest != null){
mLocationRequest = null;
}
if(mLastLocation != null){
mLastLocation = null;
}
if(mCurrLocationMarker != null){
mCurrLocationMarker = null;
}
if(mapLocationListener != null){
mapLocationListener = null;
}
}
activity.finish();
}
I understand that assigning null to my references should not be the solution because the location process is running in system background not using my app references.And Yes, the location listener is no longer update but it just not disable the location icon on top like other apps did.
What I want:disable the "Location set by GPS" and the location icon in top notification tray immediately after exit my map activity. I don't want to make my user thinks I'm doing "location hacking"What I've found:All the solution I found is using LocationManager.removeUpdate which I don't have it. How can I declare it in my activity? Is this can really solve my problem?

create interface for writing location
public interface FusedLocationDataInterface {
public void getFusedLocationData(Location location);
}
In main activity in onCreate() method create object of class FusedLocationTracker.class and implement interface in the activity.
override this method
#Override
public void getFusedLocationData(Location location) {
LatLng locate = new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());
mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().title("My Location").position(locate));
mMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(locate, 16.0f));
}
if you want to stop the locations service call the stopLocationUpdates().

Solved.It's my fault with not getting well known understand MapView well. Just call MapView.onPause() inside my overriden onPause() solve the problem.

Google Location Services never updates

I have tried to figure this out for the past 48 hours, but I must be an idiot. I followed the Google documentation to try and make this weather app location aware. The problem is I don't how to make onLocationChanged() run or even know when it is supposed to run. If it doesn't run I send a request to grab data from latitude 0 and longitude 0. I have enabled all the correct permissions. Please help me...

hi your api is working fine, i have checked. You have issue with your current latitude and longitude. So, i have one solution for you.
Please check how i'm using in my app and its working perfect.I'm using fused api for update location please follow few steps.
Step 1. Make this class
GoogleLocationService.java
public class GoogleLocationService {
private GoogleServicesCallbacks callbacks = new GoogleServicesCallbacks();
LocationUpdateListener locationUpdateListener;
Context activity;
protected GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;
protected LocationRequest mLocationRequest;
public static final long UPDATE_INTERVAL_IN_MILLISECONDS = 30000;
public GoogleLocationService(Context activity, LocationUpdateListener locationUpdateListener) {
this.locationUpdateListener = locationUpdateListener;
this.activity = activity;
buildGoogleApiClient();
}
protected synchronized void buildGoogleApiClient() {
//Log.i(TAG, "Building GoogleApiClient");
mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(activity)
.addConnectionCallbacks(callbacks)
.addOnConnectionFailedListener(callbacks)
.addApi(LocationServices.API)
.build();
createLocationRequest();
mGoogleApiClient.connect();
}
protected void createLocationRequest() {
mLocationRequest = new LocationRequest();
mLocationRequest.setInterval(UPDATE_INTERVAL_IN_MILLISECONDS);
mLocationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
}
private class GoogleServicesCallbacks implements GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks, GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener, LocationListener {
#Override
public void onConnected(Bundle bundle) {
startLocationUpdates();
}
#Override
public void onConnectionSuspended(int i) {
mGoogleApiClient.connect();
}
#Override
public void onConnectionFailed(#NonNull ConnectionResult connectionResult) {
if (connectionResult.getErrorCode() == ConnectionResult.SERVICE_VERSION_UPDATE_REQUIRED) {
Toast.makeText(activity, "Google play service not updated", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
locationUpdateListener.cannotReceiveLocationUpdates();
}
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
if (location.hasAccuracy()) {
if (location.getAccuracy() < 30) {
locationUpdateListener.updateLocation(location);
}
}
}
}
private static boolean locationEnabled(Context context) {
boolean gps_enabled = false;
LocationManager lm = (LocationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
try {
gps_enabled = lm.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
return gps_enabled;
}
private boolean servicesConnected(Context context) {
return isPackageInstalled(GooglePlayServicesUtil.GOOGLE_PLAY_STORE_PACKAGE, context);
}
private boolean isPackageInstalled(String packagename, Context context) {
PackageManager pm = context.getPackageManager();
try {
pm.getPackageInfo(packagename, PackageManager.GET_ACTIVITIES);
return true;
} catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return false;
}
}
public void startUpdates() {
/*
* Connect the client. Don't re-start any requests here; instead, wait
* for onResume()
*/
if (servicesConnected(activity)) {
if (locationEnabled(activity)) {
locationUpdateListener.canReceiveLocationUpdates();
startLocationUpdates();
} else {
locationUpdateListener.cannotReceiveLocationUpdates();
Toast.makeText(activity, "Unable to get your location.Please turn on your device Gps", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
} else {
locationUpdateListener.cannotReceiveLocationUpdates();
Toast.makeText(activity, "Google play service not available", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
//stop location updates
public void stopUpdates() {
stopLocationUpdates();
}
//start location updates
private void startLocationUpdates() {
if (checkSelfPermission(activity, ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && checkSelfPermission(activity, ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
return;
}
if (mGoogleApiClient.isConnected()) {
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, mLocationRequest, callbacks);
}
}
public void stopLocationUpdates() {
if (mGoogleApiClient.isConnected()) {
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.removeLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, callbacks);
}
}
public void startGoogleApi() {
mGoogleApiClient.connect();
}
public void closeGoogleApi() {
mGoogleApiClient.disconnect();
}
}
Step2. Make this interface
LocationUpdateListener.java
public interface LocationUpdateListener {
/**
* Called immediately the service starts if the service can obtain location
*/
void canReceiveLocationUpdates();
/**
* Called immediately the service tries to start if it cannot obtain location - eg the user has disabled wireless and
*/
void cannotReceiveLocationUpdates();
/**
* Called whenever the location has changed (at least non-trivially)
* #param location
*/
void updateLocation(Location location);
/**
* Called when GoogleLocationServices detects that the device has moved to a new location.
* #param localityName The name of the locality (somewhere below street but above area).
*/
void updateLocationName(String localityName, Location location);
}
Step 3. Call this in your class oncreate or where you want to get location
private GoogleLocationService googleLocationService;
googleLocationService = new GoogleLocationService(context, new LocationUpdateListener() {
#Override
public void canReceiveLocationUpdates() {
}
#Override
public void cannotReceiveLocationUpdates() {
}
//update location to our servers for tracking purpose
#Override
public void updateLocation(Location location) {
if (location != null ) {
Timber.e("updated location %1$s %2$s", location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());
}
}
#Override
public void updateLocationName(String localityName, Location location) {
googleLocationService.stopLocationUpdates();
}
});
googleLocationService.startUpdates();
and call this onDestroy
if (googleLocationService != null) {
googleLocationService.stopLocationUpdates();
}
Hope this will help you to solve your problem.
