getUIsettings.setMyLocationButtonEnabled(true) Not working

I am running into an issue where my location button wont appear top right corner. I tried different UI settings for maps such as zoom in and out, those appear. I ran out of ideas for this issue.
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
final View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_maps, container, false);
// TODO: get rid of commented out code
// Obtain the SupportMapFragment and get notified when the map is ready to be used.
SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) this.getChildFragmentManager()
.findFragmentById(R.id.maps);
mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
getLocationPermission();
return view;
}

}
mLocationPermissionsGranted = true;
//initialize our map
initMap();
}
}
}
}
I do have all the permission in place. I think the issue could be to do with how the permissions are done. Because whenever permission access pops up, I have to back out of the fragment after accepting and go back in to be able to see my location.

mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
Directly addressing the map object, without the mMap.getUiSettings() fixed it for me.

Google Maps API Android - Center camera so it includes all markers and infowindow

So i need to be able to center the camera so it can get at least 2 markers placed on the map and 1 info window.
If the markers are to far apart, I cant see all the info window just by centering the camera including the 2 markers.
Thanks.

In this code there is a function marker options where you can do your changes and this total code helps ur application interface better with Gmaps

You need to remove these statements
//stop location updates
if (mGoogleApiClient != null) {
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.removeLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, this);
}
}
Once they are gone you should have OnLocatioChanged working continuously.

You may try with OnMyLocationChangeListener like below:
public class MapsActivity extends FragmentActivity implements
OnMyLocationChangeListener {
#Override
public void onMyLocationChange(Location location) {
}
}

How to enable location directly from yes button

This is a simplified version of my other answer that also requests location updates .
The key is just to make sure that the user has granted you permission before you make the call to setMyLocationEnabled().
It's also possible that the user has not accepted the permission prompt by the time onMapReady() is called (most likely on first launch of the app), therefore there's another call to setMyLocationEnabled() in the onRequestPermissionsResult() callback in the case that the user accepted the permission.
First, ensure that you have the permissions in your AndroidManifest.xml (outside of the application tag):
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
Here is a full Activity class that will work for you:
public class MapLocationActivity extends AppCompatActivity
implements OnMapReadyCallback {
GoogleMap mGoogleMap;
SupportMapFragment mapFrag;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
checkLocationPermission();
}
mapFrag = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map);
mapFrag.getMapAsync(this);
}
#Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
mGoogleMap = googleMap;
mGoogleMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_HYBRID);
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
//User has previously accepted this permission
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this,
Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
mGoogleMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
}
} else {
//Not in api-23, no need to prompt
mGoogleMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
}
}
public static final int MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_LOCATION = 99;
public boolean checkLocationPermission() {
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this,
Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)
!= PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// Should we show an explanation?
if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(this,
Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)) {
// Show an expanation 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.
// TODO: Prompt with explanation!
//Prompt the user once explanation has been shown
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this,
new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION},
MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_LOCATION);
} else {
// No explanation needed, we can request the permission.
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this,
new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION},
MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_LOCATION);
}
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
}
#Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode,
String permissions[], int[] grantResults) {
switch (requestCode) {
case MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_LOCATION: {
// If request is cancelled, the result arrays are empty.
if (grantResults.length > 0
&& grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// permission was granted, yay!
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this,
Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
mGoogleMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
}
} else {
// permission denied, boo! Disable the
// functionality that depends on this permission.
Toast.makeText(this, "permission denied", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
return;
}
}
}
}
If you revoke the permission:
It will prompt again:

You are using the same condition in if and else both blocks.
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)
== PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED)
So, if your above condition is not true then how will be the same condition gets true in your else block. That's the reason
mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true); never gets executed because your condition is false.
I guess what you want to do in else block is to request for permissions if it is not there. So it will change like this -
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
} else{
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION}, <request_code>);
}
And implement onRequestPermissionsResult callback
#Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, #NonNull String[] permissions, #NonNull int[] grantResults) {
super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
switch (requestCode) {
case <request_code>:
if (grantResults.length <= 0 || grantResults[0] != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
}
break;
}
}

Please write N instead of M after Build.VERSION_CODES.
In this line in your code:
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.N)
it worked for me
