I am trying to build my first android app that tracks the users location. I am trying to achieve this with the following java code in my Maps Activity Class:
public class MapsActivity extends FragmentActivity implements OnMapReadyCallback {
private GoogleMap mMap;
LocationManager locationManager;
@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);
locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
return;
}
if(locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER)) {
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 0, 0, new LocationListener() {
@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
double latitude = location.getLatitude();
double longitude = location.getLongitude();
LatLng latLng = new LatLng(latitude, longitude);
Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(getApplicationContext());
try {
List<Address> addressList = geocoder.getFromLocation(latitude, longitude, 1);
String str = addressList.get(0).getLocality();
mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(latLng).title(str));
mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(latLng, 10.2f));
}catch (IOException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
@Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
}
@Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
}
@Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
}
});
}else if (locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER)){
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0, new LocationListener() {
@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
double latitude = location.getLatitude();
double longitude = location.getLongitude();
LatLng latLng = new LatLng(latitude, longitude);
Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(getApplicationContext());
try {
List<Address> addressList = geocoder.getFromLocation(latitude, longitude, 1);
String str = addressList.get(0).getLocality();
mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(latLng).title(str));
mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(latLng, 10.2f));
}catch (IOException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
@Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
}
@Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
}
@Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
}
});
}
}
@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"));
//mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(sydney));
}
And the following permission
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
However my Android phone and emulator only display the global maps view. The application does the API call and request everything it needs, but the information doesn't get displayed.
Also when just placing markers on the map in void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) it does work.
I am testing my application on a Samsung Galaxy S5 and an emulated Nexus 5X.
