Google api is not connected in onConnected method - java

I am working on a new open source library, called Galileo, that helps developers using location api from Google in a single line.
However, when I resume my app, in OnConnected I get the exception that the client is not yet connected. The problem is, that using their methods, everything works fine, but I can't get to work my implementation. Here is what I got so far:
Galileo.java:

if (mGoogleApiClient == null || locationListener==null) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("context == null");
}
if (singleton == null) {
synchronized (Galileo.class) {
if (singleton == null) {
singleton = new Builder(mGoogleApiClient, locationListener).build();
}
}
}
return singleton;
}

}
this.mGoogleApiClient = mGoogleApiClient;
this.locationListener = locationListener;
}

I don't see anything obviously wrong with your code, though it is making its API calls through the deprecated versions of the location APIs rather than the new FusedLocationProviderClient interface.
While you declare a new-style FusedLocationProviderClient:
private FusedLocationProviderClient mFusedLocationClient;
you never initialize it or use it at runtime; rather you call through FusedLocationApi (the old method):
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(
mGoogleApiClient, mLocationRequest, this);
You might try using the new API, which has a slightly more robust interface, to shed some light on your problem. You can get the new API interface with:
mFusedLocationClient = LocationServices.getFusedLocationProviderClient(this);
Then you'll just need to tweak your class to add an onLocationAvailability callback as per the documentation before attaching your listener:
mFusedLocationClient.requestLocationUpdates(mLocationRequest,
mLocationCallback,
null /* Looper */);

How to get real time current location update as we walk

I want to discuss if there is possibility of getting real time current location update as we move, I tried with FusedLocationProviderClient to request for current location update every 2 minutes
What can we do to achieve this, implement detectActivity for walk and request current location update every 2 minutes or less in it?
or there is on location change listener thing in FusedLocationProviderClient? so that we can listen for if there is change in location and get latlng in real time and display in textview in application? the location change listener is available on GoogleMap object but isn't recommended to use now, am I right?
or should i stick to requestupdate of FusedLocationProviderClient?
Thanks beforehand
Also tell me if i move my phone from one room to another, will there be change in latlng?
You can use this class that i created :
public class LocationFetcher implements com.google.android.gms.location.LocationListener, GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks, GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener {
public GoogleApiClient googleApiClient;
Context context;
private LocationRequest locationRequest;
public LocationFetcher(Context context) {
this.context = context;
googleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(context)
.addApi(LocationServices.API)
.addConnectionCallbacks(this)
.addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
.build();
locationRequest = new LocationRequest();
}
public void connectGps() {
googleApiClient.connect();
}
public void requestLocationUpdate() {
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions((Activity) context, new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION}, 100);
} else {
locationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
//Getting location every 3 seconds. You can change this.
locationRequest.setInterval(3000);
locationRequest.setFastestInterval(3000);
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(googleApiClient, locationRequest, this);
}
}
public boolean isConnected() {
return googleApiClient.isConnected();
}
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
//You will get location updates here.
}
#Override
public void onConnected(#Nullable Bundle bundle) {
LocationSettingsRequest.Builder builder = new LocationSettingsRequest.Builder()
.addLocationRequest(locationRequest);
builder.setAlwaysShow(true);
PendingResult result = LocationServices.SettingsApi.checkLocationSettings(googleApiClient, builder.build());
if (result != null) {
result.setResultCallback(new ResultCallback<LocationSettingsResult>() {
#Override
public void onResult(LocationSettingsResult locationSettingsResult) {
final Status status = locationSettingsResult.getStatus();
switch (status.getStatusCode()) {
case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.SUCCESS:
requestLocationUpdate();
break;
case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.RESOLUTION_REQUIRED:
try {
if (status.hasResolution()) {
status.startResolutionForResult((Activity) context, 1000);
}
} catch (IntentSender.SendIntentException e) {
}
break;
case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.SETTINGS_CHANGE_UNAVAILABLE:
break;
}
}
});
}
}
#Override
public void onConnectionSuspended(int i) {
}
#Override
public void onConnectionFailed(#NonNull ConnectionResult connectionResult) {
DialogPopup.getInstance().showLocationSettingsAlert(context);
}
public void removeLocationUpdates() {
if (googleApiClient.isConnected()){
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.removeLocationUpdates(googleApiClient, this);
}
}
public void disconnectGps() {
googleApiClient.disconnect();
}
}
In onStart of your activity call this :
LocationFetcher locationFetcher = new LocationFetcher(this);
locationFetcher.connectGps();
And in onStop use this:
locationFetcher.disconnectGps();
You will get the location updates in the onLocationChangedMethod of the class.
You have to add this dependency too:
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:10.2.1'
Hope this helps.

Google Maps: How to restore markers when resuming map activity

I am making an app that collects data from a sensor. Every time the sensor sends data, a new marker is placed on a map. When I press back and then resume the map activity all the markers are gone. Is there a way to save and restore each unique marker with its unique MarkerOptions (title,snippet,LatLng) when resuming the activity?

You said
When I press back and then resume the map
right? Not closing your app.
Simplest way is to override the onBackPressed method, like this:
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
moveTaskToBack(true);
}
This won't trigger onDestroy() and onCreate() again, so your would leave your Activity instance unmodified. Simple enough, huh?
You can make a function that populates with fresh data from your server. Then you can call that function as soon as the server sends the JSON data. To answer your question, you simply call the same function in onResume. For more information about activity state read this.
The other approach is to save it in a savedInstanceState bundle and do check in onSaveInstanceState just like this SO accepted answer if that bundle is not null, if so populate the map with the List(last known locations of the markers, if that works with your project). Otherwise just load the map.
I found this answer which provides an elegant one-line solution. This will restore markers when the user rotates the phone, but not when he presses the Back button (I know this is not what OP asked but Google will lead people here)
Add the following in onCreate:
// mapFragment is a SupportMapFragment
mapFragment.setRetainInstance(true);
In manifest file, you can add this line:
<activity android:name=".MapsActivity"
android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize">
It was one of the simplest solution that worked for me in tandem with
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
moveTaskToBack(true);
}
, and works for simple enough apps, though onSaveInstanceState() method is recommended too. What I found from my research is it's tough to serialize and deserialize marker lists, and onSaveInstanceState() only works with simple objects like strings and such. If anyone found a better solution, please let me know too :)

Waiting until location is on after turning it on through location services alert

I am having a problem where if my phone's location services is turned off, I want to set an alert to open the location services settings and turn it on there. This works fine but the issue is when I navigate back to my application after turning it on. It seems like when I click back, the onResume of my activity is called but the location is still not set correctly there until onResume is completed. Here is my code:
Comments.java:
#Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
locationManager = (LocationManager) getContext().getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
Location location = LocationService.getLastLocation();
if(location == null) {
if(getLastKnownLocation() == null) {
if(checkLocationEnabled()); {
location = getLastKnownLocation();
}
}
}
if(location != null) {
progressOverlay = fragmentView.findViewById(R.id.progress_overlay);
AndroidUtils.animateView(progressOverlay, View.VISIBLE, 0.9f, 200);
//Within this function call, the progress overlay is set to View.GONE.
databaseQuery.getPublicPosts(location, progressOverlay, fragmentView, getContext());
} else {
//We need to handle an error saying that location is not enabled for this device and exit them out of the app
}
}
private Location getLastKnownLocation() {
locationManager = (LocationManager) getContext().getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
List<String> providers = locationManager.getProviders(true);
Location bestLocation = null;
for (String provider : providers) {
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(getContext(), Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(getContext(), Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
return null;
} else {
Location l = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(provider);
if (bestLocation == null || l.getAccuracy() < bestLocation.getAccuracy()) {
// Found best last known location: %s", l);
bestLocation = l;
}
}
}
return bestLocation;
}
public boolean checkLocationEnabled() {
try {
gps_enabled = locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
} catch(Exception ex) {
}
try {
network_enabled = locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
} catch(Exception ex) {
}
if(!gps_enabled && !network_enabled) {
// notify user
AlertDialog.Builder dialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(getContext());
dialog.setMessage(getContext().getResources().getString(R.string.gpsNetworkNotEnabled));
dialog.setPositiveButton(getContext().getResources().getString(R.string.openLocationSettings), new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface paramDialogInterface, int paramInt) {
Intent myIntent = new Intent( Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS);
getContext().startActivity(myIntent);
//get gps
}
});
dialog.setNegativeButton(getContext().getString(R.string.cancel), new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface paramDialogInterface, int paramInt) {
}
});
dialog.show();
}
return gps_enabled || network_enabled;
}
What I do is when the phone location services is off, I set up an alert that takes you to the location services screen. When the user turns on the location services screen, if he or she clicks "back" on his or her phone, they should be taken back to the initial screen that showed that their location services was off alert. However, when navigating back to that screen, my progressOverlay variable is still visible because the progressOverlay is set to View.GONE when the databaseQuery.getPublicPosts call goes through. That doesn't seem to happen because the if(location != null) statement is probably false right when we navigate back to the screen, but is probably set to true after the phone waits a few seconds and fully obtains the phone's location. It's interesting because if I put a debugger anywhere in that code, the location services will be set correctly and my progressOverlay will go away because the location gets set while I am debugging the code. Is there any way I can "wait" or continue to show the loading screen until the location services is fully on before calling databaseQuery.getPublicPosts? Any help would be appreciated.
hi why trying to use getLastKnownLocation.It return your previous latitude and longitude and it might take some time to update lastknown location.
Most probably it retrun you null after on your location.
I'm just referring you google Fused api for location any kind of updation or current.Its very accurate.
How you can fused api in your project.See i'll give you small example.
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. Use this piece of code where you want to get location
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
private GoogleLocationService googleLocationService;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
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();
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
if (googleLocationService != null) {
googleLocationService.stopLocationUpdates();
}
}
}
Updated answer
how to send and receive lat lng through broadcast
call this onlocationchanged
Intent sendBroadIntentPND = new Intent("COORD_BROADCAST_FILTER");
sendBroadIntentPND.putExtra("LOC_LAT", location.getLatitude());
sendBroadIntentPND.putExtra("LOC_LON", location.getLongitude());
getApplicationContext().sendBroadcast(sendBroadIntentPND);
then where you want to receive the location call this way
// declear global variable
private final String COORD_BROADCAST_FILTER = "COORD_BROADCAST_FILTER";
private Location newLocation;
private BroadcastReceiver coordinateReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
try {
newLocation.setLatitude(intent.getDoubleExtra("LOC_LAT", 0.0));
newLocation.setLongitude(intent.getDoubleExtra("LOC_LON", 0.0));
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
};
Register you receiver oncreate,
getActivity().registerReceiver(coordinateReceiver, new IntentFilter(COORD_BROADCAST_FILTER));
unregister your receiver ondestroy
getActivity().unregisterReceiver(coordinateReceiver);
Thanks hope this help you.
First you have an unwanted semi-colon in if(checkLocationEnabled()); which acts as an empty statement causing the second call to getLastKnownLocation() to always execute (this will most probably not affect the problem).
The LocationManager class has a constant KEY_STATUS_CHANGED that is the key of a bundle extra that is passed when a status change is broadcast. See the documentation related to the constant. To trigger this change you need to call [LocationManager.requestLocationUpdates](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/LocationManager.html#requestLocationUpdates(long, float, android.location.Criteria, android.app.PendingIntent)) so that the location manager receives such a status update.
From the documentation of this method, you can either use a BroadcastReceiver to receive the update by filtering on the above constant. Here is a related post that does this. Or you can use another overloaded version of the request updates method that takes a LocationListener which has an onStatusChanged callback.
A similar update exists when a location provider is enabled, with the KEY_PROVIDER_ENABLED. You can try listening for both updates if the status update didn't work.
Note that when requesting location updates for providers, in order to include updates for all providers including disabled ones, you should retrieve them using LocationManager.getProviders(false).
Once you receive the appropriate update events, you can call removeUpdates to remove the update requests.
Please take note that
The Google Play services location APIs are preferred over the Android
framework location APIs (android.location) as a way of adding location
awareness to your app. If you are currently using the Android
framework location APIs, you are strongly encouraged to switch to the
Google Play services location APIs as soon as possible.

Android Location return null after Enabling GPS in dialog

When I enter a screen, I check for if GPS is turned on, if not, the dialog to enable GPS is shown. When user clicks Yes, onActivityResult -> GPS is turned on and I try to get the location but this always returns null
When I enter the screen with GPS already on, location is retrieved properly. I have been struggling with this for few days now and can't seem to find any resources.

After user selects Yes in Settings Dialog, onActivityResult, I do location = userlocationutilities.getLocation(); and always returns null. If switch screens and come back, location is retrieved.

switch (requestCode) {
// Check for the integer request code originally supplied to startResolutionForResult().
case REQUEST_CHECK_SETTINGS:
switch (resultCode) {
case Activity.RESULT_OK: //location settings dialog, user selected YES to enabling location
location = userLocationUtilities.getLocation();
if(location != null){
//location of user FOUND
Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Lat: "+location.getLatitude()+" Long: "+location.getLongitude(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
getRingsNearMeCall();
}else{
//location of user NOT FOUND
Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "null location", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
break;
case Activity.RESULT_CANCELED: //location settings dialog, user selected NO to enabling location
userLocationUtilities.settingsRequest(); //ask user again with Location Settings Dialog
break;
}
break;
}
}
Editted: I make the requestPermission in the fragment, the permission is granted
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(getActivity(), Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(getActivity(), new String[] { Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION },
PERMISSION_ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION);
}else{
checkLocationSettingsGetRings();
}
LocationSettingsRequest is used just make location settings adequate, for example you want receive more accurate (HIGH_ACCURACY) locations, then you need GPS is enabled. So in that case, LocationSettingsRequest prompts the dialog to allow api change settings.
After pressing OK, you can see that GPS is enabled. But it does not mean you are granted to make location request yet.
#Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
switch (requestCode) {
case REQUEST_CHECK_SETTINGS:
switch (resultCode) {
case Activity.RESULT_OK:
// Here means required settings are adequate.
// We can make location request.
// But are we granted to use request location updates ?
break;
}
break;
}
}
}
Thats okay, but you are checking the permission, but you did never make requestPermissions. This is the first possible reason of getting null.
public Location getLocation() {
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(activity,
Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
...
}
return location;
}
Even you are previously granted to make location request
location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
getLastKnownLocation() method could return null, this is not unexpected behaviour. This is the second possible reason of getting null
You are making location request, but the global location variable is never assigned in onLocationChanged callback.
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
// global location variable is not assigned ?
// getLocation() method will return null if getLastKnownLocation()
// did not return null previously.
}
This is third possible reason of getting null.
Finally, I find a solution:
I create a thread and wait for my location available.
#Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
switch (requestCode){
case REQUEST_LOCATION:
switch (resultCode){
case Activity.RESULT_OK:
mHandler = new Handler();
runnable = new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
mHandler.postDelayed(this,1000);
checkLocationAvailable();
}
};
mHandler.postDelayed(runnable,1000);
break;
case Activity.RESULT_CANCELED:
break;
}
}
}
Create a function to stop the thread when my location available.
private void checkLocationAvailable(){
if (mMap.getMyLocation() != null) {
mHandler.removeCallbacks(runnable);
// do stuff
}
}
It is not a good solution, but hope it will help.
Add this override method for me its worked fine--
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
getLocation("onLocationChanged");
}
