why fusedLocationProviderClient.getLast location always returns null?

I am trying to create a simple android application which have to display a map in a fragment and the last known location of the device. I would like to use Google API for the location, but whenever I call the method fusedLocationProviderClient.getLastLocation the result is always null and the position shown on the map is always latitude 0, longitude 0.
public class MapsFragment extends Fragment {
FusedLocationProviderClient client;
double latitude, longitude;
private OnMapReadyCallback callback = new OnMapReadyCallback() {
#Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
//Check condition

//When permission is granted, call method
getCurrentLocation();
} else {
//When permission is not granted, request permission
requestPermissions(new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION,
Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION}, 100);
}
//LatLng object creation
LatLng latLng = new LatLng(latitude, longitude);
//Set map coordinates using latLng object
googleMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(latLng).title("Current Position"));
googleMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(latLng));
}
};

Last location is a cahced location on the device so getting null means nothing used the location recently. If you open google maps or something that uses your gps location first, let it get your location then go back into your app you will get a valid location back

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
public void onConnectionFailed(#NonNull ConnectionResult connectionResult) {
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();
}
#Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {

#Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
}
#Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
}
private boolean isLocationEnabled() {
mLocationManager = (LocationManager)context. getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
return mLocationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER) ||
mLocationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
}
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
public void onClick(DialogInterface paramDialogInterface, int paramInt) {
}
});
dialog.show();
}
protected void startLocationUpdates() {
// Create the location request
mLocationRequest = LocationRequest.create()
.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY)
.setInterval(UPDATE_INTERVAL)
.setFastestInterval(FASTEST_INTERVAL);
// Request location updates
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

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?

Map Fragment loops back to current location after searching a new place in SupportPlaceAutocompleteFragment

I have added a Support Place Autocomplete fragment inside a Map Fragment, and it does not seem to work properly for some reason. Whenever I search for a place, the map moves to the correct location for a split second, and automatically returns back to the user's current location for some reason.

GetLastLocation only returns a location if one is available. 99% of the time it won't be. Use requestLocationUpdates or requestSingleUpdate to ensure a location is acquired (note both of these are asynchronous functions, as getting a location takes time).

Use Request Location Updates better
protected synchronized void buildGoogleApiClient() {

.addConnectionCallbacks(this)
.addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
.addApi(LocationServices.API)
.build();
mGoogleApiClient.connect();

mLocationRequest = new LocationRequest();
mLocationRequest.setInterval(15 * 1000);
mLocationRequest.setFastestInterval(1000);
mLocationRequest.setSmallestDisplacement(0);
mLocationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);

android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)

LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, mLocationRequest, locationListener);
}
}
LocationListener locationListener = new LocationListener() {
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
mLastLocation = location;
//do whatever you want here
}
}
};
Don't Forget to add onDestory Method
#Override
protected void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
if (mGoogleApiClient != null && mGoogleApiClient.isConnected()) {
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.removeLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, locationListener);
mGoogleApiClient.disconnect();
}
}

How to get the user's location using GPS

I have an activity in which I have a text view where I want to display the distance between the user's current location and a specific address. I have the Latitude and Logitude of the address but my issue is getting the user's location. My target is when the activity is created that's when I want to get his location' without pressing any button. I have tried multiple ways: getLastKnownLocation, onLocation changed etc, but the value returned is always null.
It's important to note that I am running the app on an emulator.
Sample code:
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_business_list);
Bundle bundleUser = getIntent().getExtras();
final String owneruser = bundleUser.getString("username");
Bundle bundleType = getIntent().getExtras();
String type = bundleType.getString("type");
locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
final TextView t = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView2);
listener = new LocationListener() {
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
longitude = location.getLongitude();
latitude = location.getLatitude();
t.append("\n " + location.getLongitude() + " " + location.getLatitude());
}
#Override
public void onStatusChanged(String s, int i, Bundle bundle) {
}
#Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String s) {
}
#Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String s) {
Intent i = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS);
startActivity(i);
}
};
final Location userLocation = new Location("");
userLocation.setLatitude(latitude);
userLocation.setLongitude(longitude);
}
#Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, #NonNull String[] permissions, #NonNull int[] grantResults) {
switch (requestCode){
case 10:
update();
break;
default:
break;
}
}
void update(){
// first check for permissions
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
requestPermissions(new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION,Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION,Manifest.permission.INTERNET}
,10);
}
}
else {
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates("gps", 5000, 0, listener);
}
}

implement your activity to LocationListener :
public class MyActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements LocationListener {
private Location userLocation = new Location("");
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_my);
}
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
if(location != null){
userLocation.setLatitude(location.getLatitude());
userLocation.setLongitude(location.getLongitude());
}
}
#Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
}
#Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
}
#Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
}
}
TRY this to grant permission:
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// Should we show an explanation?
if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(getActivity(), 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.
} else {
// No explanation needed, we can request the permission.
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(getActivity(), new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION}, RC_ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION);
// MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_READ_CONTACTS is an app-defined int constant. The callback method gets the result of the request.
}
}
and add this in your manifest:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
