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);

Recycler View Adapter: Best practice to notify that data set has updated

I am trying to make a volley request to api's url. The problem is that data is fetched appropriately, but every time data set updates, the whole recycler view refreshes again and begins from the start; in the docs it is mentioned that use notifyDataSetChanged() as the last resort. How can it be avoided and what are the best practices for such tasks? Any design pattern that should be followed?
Here is the Fragment Code :-
public class PageFragment extends Fragment implements SortDialogCallback {
private static final String TAG = PageFragment.class.getSimpleName();
/**
* Unsplash API, By Default=10
*/
private static final String per_page = "10";
public static String order_By;
/**
* Unsplash API call parameter, By Default=latest
* Change it in Pager Fragment, based on Tab tapped
*/
RecyclerView recyclerView;
ImageAdapter imageAdapter;
GridLayoutManager layoutManager;
EndlessRecyclerViewScrollListener scrollListener;
FloatingActionButton actionButton;
FrameLayout no_internet_container;
Bundle savedInstanceState;
// Attaching Handler to the main thread
Handler handler = new Handler();
boolean shouldHandlerRunAgain = true;
private ArrayList<DataModel> model;
/**
* Handler is attached to the Main Thread and it's message queue, because it is the one who created it.
* <p>
* Handler is responsible for checking every second that are we connected to internet, and if we are, then :-
* 1. Then we remove empty view
* 2. Make the network call
* 3. Stop handler from posting the code again using shouldHandlerRunAgain variable
* 3.1 This is a kill switch otherwise handler will post the runnable again and again to the message queue, which will be executed as soon as it reaches the looper

Passing current location data to my asynctask class

I'm trying to pass current location of the device to my asynctask class to be used to filter out a list based on their distance before it is populated in my recyclerview. Anytime I run this code I get an empty list and my current location is null. Am I doing something wrong? It works only when I manually enter location co-ordinates.

The problem is here :
mLocation = LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation(mGoogleApiClient);
getLastLocation() will not return any result immediately if location was not enabled in settings. That's why you should never rely on getLastKnownLocation() for getting recent location.
What you can do is : If location returns null - you need to create a LocationRequest and check for location settings. If location is enabled in settings, you need to call requestLocationUpdates with some interval. once you get the latest location in onLocationUpdated, stop the location updates and do whatever you want with that location.
Another thing to notice : Do not use nested classes for Asynctask as they can easily create memory leaks.

Custom progressbar dialog with dialogFragment

I'm new to android programming. I want to create a custom progress dialog with some textview and button and showing the progress with two progressBar and updating them while sending the files from Asynctask, Also I want it works with minimum API 10. google doc recommend me to use DialogFragment and i do not have any idea how to update the progress bars and textviews that are in that custom layout of my fragmentDialog, when I try to reference a textview or progress bar it throw null exeption
Here is my code
public static class FireMissilesDialogFragment extends DialogFragment {
public FireMissilesDialogFragment(){
}
public static FireMissilesDialogFragment newInstance(String title) {
FireMissilesDialogFragment frag = new FireMissilesDialogFragment();
Bundle args = new Bundle();
args.putString("title", title);
frag.setArguments(args);
return frag;
}
#Override
public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Use the Builder class for convenient dialog construction
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity());
// Get the layout inflater
LayoutInflater inflater = this.getActivity().getLayoutInflater();
// Inflate and set the layout for the dialog
// Pass null as the parent view because its going in the dialog layout
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_progress, null);
ProgressBar pbCurrent = (ProgressBar) view.findViewById(R.id.current);
builder.setView(view);
builder.setMessage("Fire Missiles")
.setPositiveButton("Fire", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
// FIRE ZE MISSILES!
}
})
.setNegativeButton("Cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
// User cancelled the dialog
}
});
// Create the AlertDialog object and return it
return builder.create();
}
}
I got a nullExeption here in my main activity when try to reference a view
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Button frag = (Button) findViewById(R.id.frag);
frag.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
FireMissilesDialogFragment fragment = FireMissilesDialogFragment.newInstance("hi") ;
fragment.getActivity().findViewById(R.id.current);// nullExeption here
// downloadAsync as = new downloadAsync();
// as.execute();
}
});
I didn't see much question and example about that, did I go all the way wrong and should pick another way to achieve my point??!!
Edit :
I'm trying to create something like this
thanks in advance

I can not do a full explanation but I can leave an example and then hopefully you can figure out a way to incorporate the things you need.

AsynkTask within Fragment within a ViewPager

First of all, I am relatively new to android programming.
I am creating a ViewPager application with two Fragments. One of the Fragments requests data from a server and return a result to the main FragmentActivity. My problem is that this request to the server can take sometime, and I have been trying to get a ProgressDialog to appear with AsyncTask while the user waits for the data to be retrieved. Once I create the background thread to retrieve the data, I successfully execute some code in the onPostExecute() method and set some variables. However, the return statement that sends information back to the FragmentActivity is being executed before the background thread actually ends. I can't seem to figure out a way for the main thread to wait on the background thread. Using Asyctask's get() method results in the ProgressDialog from appearing. I have looked through a lot of posts in here, but can't seem to find an answer.
Anything helps.
