Determining User's Current Location and Placing Marker

Determining User's Current Location and Placing Marker - android

I am working on an app that requires the user's current location to be marked on a MapView. I've looked all around the internet, and haven't found anything that works with my code. I've looked at many questions on this site and on other Android tutorial sites/YouTube videos. I have tried getting permission to access fine location and then creating a string with the current latitude and longitude inside it. However, this just doesn't work.
I've tried playing around with the code, but I just can't figure it out. What I want to do is get the user's current location and then place a marker on a MapView that also contains a marker placed at a location. I understand the code, I just don't know a) why it isn't working and b) what I need to do to fix it. I have included the activity's code below.
import android.content.Intent;
import android.location.Location;

ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION}, 3);
return;
}
}
#Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
GoogleMap mMap = googleMap;
LatLng fthloc = new LatLng(51.036585, -114.066152);
mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(fthloc).title("Certain Location"));
float zoomLevel = (float) 10.0f;
mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(fthloc));

}
protected void onLocationChanged(GoogleMap mMap, Location location) {
LatLng urloc = new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());
mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(urloc).title("Your Location)"));
float zoomLevel = (float) 10.0f;
mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(urloc));
}
private void dialContactPhone(final String phoneNumber) {
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL, Uri.fromParts("tel", phoneNumber, null)));
}
}

How to get current coordinates/location in android

I've been working on trying to get the current location in android since several days but I didn't find a solution yet.
I know there are similar topics regarding this but in my case the code it didn't work. Is there anyone who has already solved this issue and can help me?
I add some tests I did.
Here's the GPS Tracker class.

.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
if (!isGPSEnabled && !isNetworkEnabled) {
// no network provider is enabled
} else {
this.canGetLocation = true;
// First get location from Network Provider
if (isNetworkEnabled) {
try {

#Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
}
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0) {

}
}
And I instantiated this class in my activity, as follows:
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.widget.ImageButton;
import android.widget.TextView;
import utility.GPSTracker;
public class AroundMeActivity extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_around_me);
TextView location_text = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.location_text);
GPSTracker gps;
double latitude = 0.0;
double longitude = 0.0;
gps = new GPSTracker(AroundMeActivity.this);
// check if GPS enabled
if(gps.canGetLocation())
{
latitude = gps.getLatitude();
longitude = gps.getLongitude();
}
else
{
gps.showSettingsAlert();
}
location_text.setText(latitude + " " + longitude);
}
}
The results is 0.0 for both latitude and longitude.
Thank you in advance guys!!!

Use android LocationMannager

Here is a great library, very easy to use and lightweight: https://github.com/mrmans0n/smart-location-lib
Just compile it with gradle and thats' it.

I am able to fetch location at my home it is working fine but if i go outside my home then location is not fetched.
please help me

add this in your location change method.
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
longitude = location.getLongitude();

}

Android GPS won't start after pause

I'm developing an Android app and having some trouble with the implementation of GPS. I've classed my GPS functionality as outlined in this article. Here is the relevant code:
Main Activity:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
/*
* declare
*/
private Chronometer chrono;
private GPSTracker gps;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
/*
* hook up interface elements to declared objects
*/
chrono = (Chronometer)findViewById(R.id.chrono);
textState = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textState);
gps = new GPSTracker(MainActivity.this); // set up gps tracker
//test gps connection and prompt to enable if disabled
if (!gps.canGetLocation()) {
gps.showSettingsAlert();
}
}
#Override
protected void onPause() {
gps.stopUsingGPS();
super.onPause();
}
#Override
protected void onResume() {
gps.getLocation();
if (!gps.canGetLocation()) {
gps.showSettingsAlert();
}
super.onResume();
}
}
And here is my class, called GPSTracker:
/*

Previously, the GPS would start when the app was started and turn off anytime I navigated away from the app to do something else. The problem was that the GPS would not start again when I navigated back to the app.
Now, I can't even get the GPS to start when I start the app, and I don't believe I made any changes to the code so I'm completely lost. Any tips?

#
Override
protected void onResume() {
GPSTracker gps;
gps = new GPSTracker(MainActivity.this);
if (gps.canGetLocation()) {
lat = gps.getLatitude();
lon = gps.getLongitude();
} else {
gps.showSettingsAlert();
}
super.onResume();
}
