I've been trying for a few days to get a lat/lon checker, speedometer, altimeter working but nothing seems to be working. I've tried using Android's built-in locationmanager and google play services. Now I'm back trying Google play services. I followed the online tutorial: https://developer.android.com/training/location/retrieve-current.html#play-services
I'm just trying to display current lat/lon (from lastknownlocation) My android phone (android 6, API 23) doesn't show the lat/lon values on the screen. Anyone help out?
CODE BELOW:
MainActivity
package example.locationtracker;
import android.content.pm.PackageManager;
import android.location.Location;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.annotation.NonNull;
import android.support.annotation.Nullable;
import android.support.v4.app.ActivityCompat;

import android.widget.TextView;
import com.google.android.gms.common.ConnectionResult;
import com.google.android.gms.common.api.GoogleApiClient;
import com.google.android.gms.common.api.GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks;
import com.google.android.gms.common.api.GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener;
import com.google.android.gms.location.LocationServices;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements ConnectionCallbacks, OnConnectionFailedListener {
TextView mLatitudeText;
TextView mLongitudeText;
GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient = null;
Location mLastLocation;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mLatitudeText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.latitudeTextView);
mLongitudeText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.longitudeTextView);
// Create an instance of GoogleAPIClient.
if (mGoogleApiClient == null) {
mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
.addConnectionCallbacks(this)
.addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
.addApi(LocationServices.API)
.build();
}
}
protected void onStart() {
mGoogleApiClient.connect();
super.onStart();
}
protected void onStop() {
mGoogleApiClient.disconnect();
super.onStop();
}
@Override
public void onConnected(@Nullable Bundle bundle) {
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
return;
}
mLastLocation = LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation(mGoogleApiClient);
if (mLastLocation != null) {
mLatitudeText.setText(String.valueOf(mLastLocation.getLatitude()));
mLongitudeText.setText(String.valueOf(mLastLocation.getLongitude()));
}
}
@Override
public void onConnectionSuspended(int i) {
}
@Override
public void onConnectionFailed(@NonNull ConnectionResult connectionResult) {
}
}
