Probleme when using geolocation button after activating location in-app

i've a big probleme for 4 months now, and i don't know what's the solution. When i'm launching my application, the app demand to the user if he want to activate the loalisation (its important), if he say "no", then nothing happen but the app will ask him later, and if he say "yes", then the app will open setting location of the app, and the user need to press "activate location" on phone setting.
The probleme is, after activating location (it doesn't show the userLocation bc i don't know how to do this and its not my first priority), when you click on the geolocalisationButton , you need to press 3 time the button for showing user his location (sometime 2, or 4 times, it's depend, i don't know why).
This is the video for the exemple --> video

How to pass the current lat long values from one class to another activity in Android?

I am using googleAPIClient to get the current lat long values using Location. I am getting the values of both my current lat and long in a separate class. I need to pass these current lat and long values inside my MapsActivity ( GoogleMap Activity), Since I have already created the object for the another class, from which I need to get the values, I don't know how to pass the values to this activity from the class.
Here's what I have tried. This is the class which I have created to get the current lat long values:
CurrentValues.java:
public class CurrentValues implements GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks, GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener, LocationListener {
private static final String TAG = CurrentValues.class.getSimpleName();
private Context context;
private GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;
private Location mLocation;
private LocationManager mLocationManager;
private LocationRequest mLocationRequest;
private long UPDATE_INTERVAL = 2 * 1000; /* 10 secs */
private long FASTEST_INTERVAL = 2000; /* 2 sec */
public CurrentValues( Context context){
mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(context)
.addConnectionCallbacks(this)
.addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
.addApi(LocationServices.API)
.build();
mLocationManager = (LocationManager)context.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
checkLocation();
}
#Override
public void onConnected(#Nullable Bundle bundle) {
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, Manifest.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;
}
startLocationUpdates();
mLocation = LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation(mGoogleApiClient);
if(mLocation == null){
startLocationUpdates();
}
if (mLocation != null) {
// mLatitudeTextView.setText(String.valueOf(mLocation.getLatitude()));
//mLongitudeTextView.setText(String.valueOf(mLocation.getLongitude()));
} else {
Toast.makeText(context, "Location not Detected", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
#Override
public void onConnectionSuspended(int i) {
Log.i(TAG, "Connection Suspended");
mGoogleApiClient.connect();
}
#Override

Log.i(TAG, "Connection failed. Error: " + connectionResult.getErrorCode());
}
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
String msg = "Updated Location: " +
Double.toString(location.getLatitude()) + "," +
Double.toString(location.getLongitude());
LatLng latLng = new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());
}
private boolean checkLocation() {
if(!isLocationEnabled())
showAlert();
return isLocationEnabled();
}

}
private void showAlert() {
final AlertDialog.Builder dialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(context);
dialog.setTitle("Enable Location")
.setMessage("Your Locations Settings is set to 'Off'.\nPlease Enable Location to " +
"use this app")
.setPositiveButton("Location Settings", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface paramDialogInterface, int paramInt) {
Intent myIntent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS);
context.startActivity(myIntent);
}
})
.setNegativeButton("Cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override

dialog.show();

return;
}
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient,
mLocationRequest, (com.google.android.gms.location.LocationListener) context);
Log.d("reque", "--->>>>");
}
}
Now I need to pass the lat long values I got from this class to MapsActivity. Since I had already created object for the currentvalues class here in this activity, I don't know how to pass the value from there to here.
Here's my MapActivity (GoogleMap Activity)
public class MapsActivity extends FragmentActivity implements OnMapReadyCallback {
private GoogleMap mMap;
private CurrentValues currentValues;
private Location location;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_maps);
// Obtain the SupportMapFragment and get notified when the map is ready to be used.
SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
.findFragmentById(R.id.map);
mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
}
/**
* Manipulates the map once available.
* This callback is triggered when the map is ready to be used.
* This is where we can add markers or lines, add listeners or move the camera. In this case,
* we just add a marker near Sydney, Australia.
* If Google Play services is not installed on the device, the user will be prompted to install
* it inside the SupportMapFragment. This method will only be triggered once the user has
* installed Google Play services and returned to the app.
*/
#Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
mMap = googleMap;
// // Add a marker in Sydney and move the camera
// LatLng sydney = new LatLng(-34, 151);
// mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(sydney).title("Marker in Sydney"));
//
// LatLng chennai = new LatLng(13.06,80);
// mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(chennai).title("Marker in Chennai"));
LatLng latLng = new LatLng(location.getLatitude(),location.getLongitude());
googleMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(latLng));
googleMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(latLng, 8f));
// creating object for currentValues class
CurrentValues currentValues = new CurrentValues(this);
}
}
I don't know how to proceed after this to pass the lat long values here. How can I proceed?

Change position of MyLocation Button in MapsActivity

I am trying to change the position of my location button in my Maps Android App from top to bottom. Seems like it is default in top. Please help me changing the position of it.

Guys, I have resolved it.
Add the following lines in your on create below SupportMapFragent.
View myLocationButton = mapFragment.getView().findViewById(0x2);
if (myLocationButton != null && myLocationButton.getLayoutParams() instanceof RelativeLayout.LayoutParams) {
// location button is inside of RelativeLayout
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params = (RelativeLayout.LayoutParams) myLocationButton.getLayoutParams();
// Align it to - parent BOTTOM|LEFT
params.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_BOTTOM);
params.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_LEFT);
params.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_RIGHT, 0);
params.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_TOP, 0);
// Update margins, set to 80dp
final int margin = (int) TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, 80,
getResources().getDisplayMetrics());
params.setMargins(margin, margin, margin, margin);
myLocationButton.setLayoutParams(params);
}

How can I get data from Nearby Places into Listview?

Which methods do I have to include to my code to pass the data to list view?
I want to show the nearby places using ListView. It only show the nearby places on the map by clicking the buttons as shown below. When I click the "Nearby School" button it displays the nearby school on the map, now I want it to display the nearby schools using listview. How can I do that?

Google Maps: New markers are not showing after resuming map activity

I am connecting my app to a sensor, everytime the sensor sends data a marker is placed on a map with data inside info window.
When I am starting the activity the first time. mMap has ID: 21319.
In my onLocationChanged()method I add markers to the map with ID 21319. Then if I press the back button and resume the activity. mMap is created again and has now another ID, let's say ID 22431. With my method addMapPoints() I add the old markers to mMap with ID 22431 with mMap.addMarker(markerOptions) and I can see the markers on the screen. But this time when new data is sent and markers are added inside onLocationChanged() no new markers appear on the screen. When I debug I can see that in onLocationChanged() my mMap has the old ID: 21319 and I do not get any errors. So I guess that the new markers are added to the old map but my screen is showing the new map.
Why is this happening? And how can I solve this problem?
UPDATE I think I have found the problem. At the moment mMap == null when new data is sent. What I now wonder is how can I obtain the map inside OnLocationUpdate() or in OnResume()?
Here is my MapsActivity code
public class MapsActivity extends FragmentActivity implements OnMapReadyCallback, GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks, GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener, LocationListener

public GoogleMap mMap;

}
// Obtain the SupportMapFragment and get notified when the map is ready to be used.
SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
.findFragmentById(R.id.map);
mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
initiateApp = true;
markerArrayList = new ArrayList<>();
}

I solve this problem by exiting the application in onDestroy method .
I think when fragment is reused marker cannot be placed in map
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
getActivity().finish();
System.exit(0);
super.onDestroy();
}
