I updated the original answer since that one section was causing too much confusion.
In order to keep location updates going after the first one is received, remove the call to removeLocationUpdates()
in the onLocationChanged()
override:
@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location)
{
mLastLocation = location;
if (mCurrLocationMarker != null) {
mCurrLocationMarker.remove();
}
//Place current location marker
LatLng latLng = new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());
MarkerOptions markerOptions = new MarkerOptions();
markerOptions.position(latLng);
markerOptions.title("Current Position");
markerOptions.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_MAGENTA));
mCurrLocationMarker = mGoogleMap.addMarker(markerOptions);
//move map camera
mGoogleMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(latLng,11));
}
