trying to implement attendance in android using geofence with php

I'm making an attendance system in android where employee should be able to put attendance only if he is in office premises through his mobile fingerprint scanner and I want to retrieve data like employee_name, location, date, time and save it in php I coded for geofencing but don't know how to proceed further below is code for geofencing
I searched all over the internet but didn't find a proper solution please anyone help me I really need this.....

I am assuming that you are trying to make an app that employees would use to clock in/out by:
A) scanning their fingerprint (with the app),
and B) clicking a button "IN" or "OUT" (with the same app) ??
If so, then you don't need geofencing. Geofencing is for situations where you want something to happen automatically when a user enters a designated area.
Your situation, on the other hand, only requires that your app be aware of the phone's location when the user clicks IN/OUT.
When the user clicks IN/OUT, you would just upload the latitude and longitude, time, ID etc. and the server would determine whether the latitude or longitude is within the boundary (you can do that like this).
If they are not in the boundary, then the server would return an error... or it could be quiet about it.
You will also have to guard against fake locations.

Google spreadsheet quickstart example for Android (APIv4) doesn't work for me

I'm on a project to create an app on Android studio, to fetch data from a Google spreadsheet to work with it.
So I tried to work on it by trying the spreadsheet-quickstart for Android (Apiv4), on the Google documentation.
So I launch the quickstart app on my device.
But I've every time is displayed an error, when I launch my app on my device, especially when the program call the google sheet, and I can't connect to the sheet:
The following error occurred: null
I take a look on the program, retrieved where is that error to debug which is on the method onCancelled(). But I don't really understand some parts of the program is used, for example this method with "..." which seems have an important role to debug my error:
protected List<String> doInBackground(Void... params)
I followed perfectly the tutorial, working on Android Studio, started over 3 times, but always the same issue. I'm not confident at all with Java, and Android (first real app). That's why I need your help, to learn what I'm doing wrong.
I resume below the steps I followed, and the program I've done:
Retrieve my Sha1 FingerPrint on my computer (cmd.exe command)
Create my google spreadsheet
Activation of my Api for Android, and put my SHA1 fingerprint and the package I'll use for my app
Create my app as the tutorial said
Change the build.gradle (the good one) and Sync it
Change the AndroidManifest.xml:
Create my MainActivity.java, and replace with this code.
Build an apk, and transfer this one on my OnePlus3 (my Android phone) via USB.
Install this apk, and launch it.
Click on this button, log with my google account, display Calling Google Sheet Api, then stop it and display this error:
The following error occurred: null

UPDATE: Easier way to get the SHA1 key (compared to the link i've posted in my answer) - https://stackoverflow.com/a/34223470/7368208 - If it doesn't work, the answer linked below will definitely work
I had the same problem. This error occurs when the app is unable to sign-in i.e. invalid credentials. So the problem could be
Credentials not created (but you mentioned you did) so..
Credentials mismatch between app and developers console e.g. wrong SHA1 key
The issue I faced was that the SHA1 key obtained via keytool didnt match with the actual key used in the app. So first get the SHA1 key thats actually used in the app. Check this post to see how to get the SHA1 key used in the app. If its different from the keytool key then updating it in the developers console will solve your problem.

Google-API Start Activity as Service or hide Activity

I've got a problem with my Google-API Activity. I used the sample code from Google and changed some lines to fill on create an static int with my total mail count. So far so good, this works fine. Every time I have to update my mail_count value I execute the following code:
Intent intent2 = new Intent(getBaseContext(), MainActivity.class);
intent2.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_RESET_TASK_IF_NEEDED | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
startService(intent2);
This works fine, but the problem is that every time I start the activity it'll show up for some seconds. I really know that's the point of activities, but I didn't get how to use the GOOGLE-API Activity in my project to communicate in Background with the API and don't show up every time (after User has confirmed the access).
Here's my Google-API Activity Code (MainActivity):

Android/GoogleDrive Pictures upload

First i'm a french student so forgive my english..
I have started an app which takes photos and now I want it to save thoses photos on GoogleDrive. I followed the Google tutorial and I now have a mistake that I can't explain and I don't know how to solve it :
400 Bad Request
{
"code":400,
"errors":[{
"domain": "global",
"location": "fields",
"locationType": "parameter",
"message": "Invalid field selection items",
"reason": "invalidParameter"
}],
"message": "Invalid field selection items"
}
This link may help https://developers.google.com/drive/v3/web/handle-errors even if I don't really understand how it is suppose to help.
Of course, I did everything that google asked : https://developers.google.com/drive/quickstart/android
This is the activity in which there is the error.
I hope you will understand my problem and if you do and help to solve it I just have to say thank you (even if you just read)..

Dude, I figured it out!
Same error message was displayed to me while running sample code for Rest Api for Drive in Android.
The Error Message "Invalid field selection items" means that field item' is not recognized by the API. Actually the name of field must have been changed in API code, without corresponding changes in sample code (Bad Google).
So in your code, instead of this line:
setFields("nextPageToken, items(id, name)")
Try this line with changed field names:
setFields("nextPageToken, files(id, name)")
Apart from items <---> files, title(as given in online docs) <---> name.
Again, bad Google.

Based on the Official Google documentation the 400 'invalidParameter' means that a required field or parameter has not been provided, the value supplied is invalid or the combination of provided fields is invalid. Double check the parameter and value being set.
Here's a sample Demo app which takes photos and save them in Drive: https://github.com/googledrive/android-quickstart

How do i use my QML UI and only use Java for notifications?

I am trying to implement an app that can receive notifications through GCM. My problem is that when i add Java to the app, QML does not load anymore. Instead, it loads the Java UI even tho i have not defined one so I get an empty screen.
The UI in Java does show up if I create it but i only want the Java backend for the notifications and nothing else.
Does anyone have some experience on this?
How do i use my QML UI and only use Java for notifications?
