I am currently working on an app with Android studio. This app uses the google maps API. Recently I managed to initialize the map with my location but for some reason, this does not let me add a marker in my location or make it start with a certain zoom. (You only see a blue dot) Do you know why? What am I doing wrong?
My map activity code is like this:
public class MapsActivity extends FragmentActivity implements OnMapReadyCallback, LocationListener {
private GoogleMap mMap;
LocationManager locationManager;
String provider;
LatLng myPosition;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_maps);
locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
provider = locationManager.getBestProvider(new Criteria(), false);
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
return;
}
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(provider, 400, 1, this);
// 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;
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
return;
}
mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(provider);
if(location != null){
// Getting latitude of the current location
double latitude = location.getLatitude();
// Getting longitude of the current location
double longitude = location.getLongitude();
// Creating a LatLng object for the current location
myPosition = new LatLng(latitude, longitude);
//mMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(myPosition,14));
//mMap.addMarker((new MarkerOptions().position(myPosition)));
}
}
@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
//mMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(myPosition,14));
// mMap.addMarker((new MarkerOptions().position(myPosition)));
}
@Override
public void onStatusChanged(String s, int i, Bundle bundle) {
}
@Override

}
@Override

super.onResume();
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
return;
}
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(provider, 400, 1, this);
}
@Override
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
locationManager.removeUpdates(this);
}
}
EDIT: First of all, thanks to everyone who tried to help me. Second of all, I couldnt make my app work using all the tools you provided me so right now I still want to use location manager. The other reason for me using this is that I hate Android Studio emulator and my LG G3 only accepts API 21 (I think so)
This is the current code. I think it works fine but whenever it starts it starts in the last known location and not in the actual location. I do not know what to put instead of this --> Location locationActual = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(provider);;
public class MapsActivity extends FragmentActivity implements OnMapReadyCallback, LocationListener {
private GoogleMap mMap;
LocationManager locationManager;
String provider;
LatLng myPosition;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_maps);
locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
provider = locationManager.getBestProvider(new Criteria(), false);
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
return;
}
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(provider, 400, 1, this);
/* locationRequest = new LocationRequest();
//locationRequest.setInterval(7500);
//locationRequest.setFastestInterval(5000);
locationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);*/
// 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);
}
