I'm searching for a while now why my Google Map v2 isn't recieving any updates.
I have been reading/looking for several solution, but can't come to a solution. Therefore i don't think that this topic is a duplicated. because the solution i didn't found yet.
The code that i'm using now is from the following topic : https://stackoverflow.com/a/14305851/1364241
public class RouteGroupMapActivity extends SherlockFragmentActivity {
private ActionBar actionbar;
private GoogleMap mMap;

setContentView(R.layout.activity_route_group_map);
//Activate ActionBar Sherlock
actionbar = getSupportActionBar();
actionbar.setHomeButtonEnabled(true);
actionbar.setDisplayOptions(ActionBar.DISPLAY_HOME_AS_UP|ActionBar.DISPLAY_SHOW_HOME|ActionBar.DISPLAY_SHOW_TITLE);
// creates our custom LocationSource and initializes some of its members
followMeLocationSource = new FollowMeLocationSource();
//setUpMapIfNeeded();

* just in case a better provider might have become available since we last displayed it */

/* Enable the my-location layer (this causes our LocationSource to be automatically activated.)

* call {@link #setUpMap()} once when {@link #mMap} is not null.
* <p>
* If it isn't installed {@link SupportMapFragment} (and
* {@link com.google.android.gms.maps.MapView MapView}) will show a prompt for the user to
* install/update the Google Play services APK on their device.
* <p>
* A user can return to this FragmentActivity after following the prompt and correctly
* installing/updating/enabling the Google Play services. Since the FragmentActivity may not have been
* completely destroyed during this process (it is likely that it would only be stopped or
* paused), {@link #onCreate(Bundle)} may not be called again so we should call this method in
* {@link #onResume()} to guarantee that it will be called.

Besides that i did also check the android Google Maps application and it's receiving my location without any problem.
Also i did put breakpoints in all the functions of my FollowMeLocationSource but it doesn't break on non of all functions..
What am i missing? Or what can i try to receive my current position onload?
