How do i start the turn by turn NavigationLauncher from another activity

I am trying to launch the NavigationLauncher.startNavigation, from another activity but am unable to do so. I have a button in the second activity which I want to use to start the navigation.
Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks
Here is my code:
/*
fabstart.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
boolean simulateRoute = false;
NavigationLauncherOptions options = NavigationLauncherOptions.builder()
.directionsRoute(route)
.shouldSimulateRoute(simulateRoute)
.build();
// Call this method with Context from within an Activity
NavigationLauncher.startNavigation(MainActivity.this, options);
}
});
*/
fabstart.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, Before_Go.class);
startActivity(intent);
// Here is where I want to go to a new activity, inside this activity have a button to
// launch the "NavigationLauncher.startNavigation"
}
});

NavigationLauncher.startnavigation() opens a new activity that handles the navigation. Therefore it does not matter from where it is called. However, wherever it is called from, the NavigationLauncher must be defined, and the options object that is passed as the second parameter has to contain the directionsRoute object.
Can you please share code of the activity from which you call it, as well as how you initialize and define the options object?

thanks for your response to my question. I am new to stakoverflow, so i hope i get this additional posting of code right.

I assume that the application crashes once the activity "Go.java" is launched.
The problem appears to be that you are not instantiating the Mapbox object in this activity. You are doing it correclty in your "mainactivity.java" however you are missing it in "go.java". Make sure to have the line Mapbox.getInstance(this, getString(R.string.access_token)); also in your "go.java" activity before calling setContentView()
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
Mapbox.getInstance(this, getString(R.string.access_token));
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

This way works on FragmentActivity, but not on Fragment.
I've also given ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission in AndroindManifest.xml.

geofire android to store and retrive locations and display it on map

I am developing an taxi application in android. I need to store retrieve and update location of my cabs and show it on maps using geofire. I have used firebase for authentication.
Need a complete tutorial for android geofire but can't find any
I have also seen SFVehicle example but didn't understand much
Any help would be appreciated!!!

first of all currently there are no complete tutorials on geofire so all you have in your disposal is the official documentation of Geofire go for java and js.And here is a small but maybe helpful stuff--
https://firebase.googleblog.com/2013/09/geofire-location-queries-for-fun-and.html,
https://medium.com/google-cloud/firebase-is-cool-geofire-is-just-awesome-b7f2be5e0f0f#.x78gjws28,
I hope that these could be of some help to you.

I have created a library for Android, which provides geo-based firestore data to find the list of data within a given radius in KM / MILES.
It also gives the faster response in a single query read with the classification of the ADDED and REMOVED data in and from the query with real-time updates.
You can refer Geo-Firestore
It has well-documentation so you can easily develop the same.

here are a few more links

what you have to use for this is to implement a geofire library
Geofire implementation
implementation 'com.firebase:geofire-android:3.0.0'
I hope that this will help you alot

Android Runtime Permissions: catching the user's press on "Allow"

In my app I've a MapFragment with the classic "MyLocationButton".
On older APIs I don't have any kind of issue, but since Google asked developers to use Runtime Permissions, I'm facing this problem: when the user clicks ALLOW, the already said button is not appearing, at least not until the user refreshes this fragment. Is there a way to catch the user's press to make the fragment refresh as soon as he's given permissions?
EDIT:
I'm using nested fragments, and I've found out my problem is the same you can see at this page of the AOSP Issue Tracker. I've solved it using the last version of Android APIs (v24).
I'll post my MapFragment:

One way to solve is to ask before open your MapFragment. This way you only have to check if you have the permission or not at your fragment to load one view or another.
The other way, is to add the button at your method turnOnMyLocation().

You can use
onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions, int[] grantResults)
within this callback you should check the equality of the request code that you passed while requesting permission with the one in the parameter. If it matches, you can get the user result.
If user allow the permission, then you can simply detach and attach your fragment as follow:
Fragment currentFragment = getFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag("FRAGMENT");
FragmentTransaction fragTransaction = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
fragTransaction.detach(currentFragment);
fragTransaction.attach(currentFragment);
fragTransaction.commit();
This is how your fragment will be reloaded and also your views gets refreshed. I hope by this you can address your problem.

MapFragment blocked or stunned when application is killed or state saved

I'm getting problems using MapFragment + ListFragment in an Activity,
when I use show() and hide() method, everything works ok, but when I have my application in background and I return, I get the GoogleMap stunned or blocked, and I don't know what to do to solve that. The only solution I got to work fine, is using replace transactions, but I don't like this way, because in every transaction we should initiate all map place balloons, and it doesn't keep your last camera location, so... I don't know what to do.
PS: I use SherlockActionBar
Thanks in advance:
Here is my code:
Activity:

setData();
doStuff();
}

switch (v.getId()) {

analyticTracker.sendView("/RoutePlaceActivity/List");
isMap = true;
changeFragments();
break;
case R.id.route_place_map:
analyticTracker.sendView("/RoutePlaceActivity/Home");
isMap = false;
changeFragments();
break;
default:
break;
}
}
#Override
public void onRouteMapPlaceClick(Place place) {
goToDetails(place);
}

I was also facing the same problem in the new maps api(Maps V2 android).
But i solved it by overriding onSaveInstance and onRestoreInstance method in the container activity..
and not calling super.onSaveInstance(). and super.onRestoreInstance().
This is just a temporary hack.. but i think u will be up and running with your beautiful app..
