How do i get my code to give my current location?

I am trying to get my code to zoom in and give me my exact location once I open the map activity, but instead, I get a map showing the map of Africa.
I have written some codes I got from tutorials online, but none has succeeded in giving what I want.
I tried to use this link
Also tried to use this YouTube video

I expect when I run my code, my map to zoom in and give my current exact location. The code has no errors, that is why I need help.

I will try and assist. I will assume you have all the requisite libraries in your gradle. Check if you have
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:16.1.0'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:16.0.0'
implementation 'com.google.android.libraries.places:places:1.0.0'
Also confirm if you have the following permissions (on top of the others you might have)
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
On newer Android Version, you might need to request the permissions on runtime. You can add the stub on your activity.
public static boolean hasPermissions(Context context, String... permissions) {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M && context != null && permissions != null) {
for (String permission : permissions) {
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, permission) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
return false;
}
}
}
return true;
}
//Invoking the above function
String[] PERMISSIONS = {Manifest.permission.INTERNET,Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION,
Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE,
Manifest.permission.CAMERA };
if (!hasPermissions(this, PERMISSIONS)) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, PERMISSIONS, 1);
}
Your activity could look like this.

This is the code that worked for me...Thanks for the insights though

Android Studio Log.d doesn't work in Fragment of Google Maps

I have this code, a Fragment in Navigation drawer which makes a map with google maps API and also makes marks, and the log.d doesn't show in the Logcat box of the Android Studio, if somebody can help me so that I can do tests, thanks!!!
(I wrote this code because I want to create markers of Google Maps from FireBaseDatabase).

Log.d is in this part of code:

Float Lat = ds.child("Lat").getValue(Float.class);
Float Long = ds.child("Long").getValue(Float.class);
Log.d("ValuesofLat", "HELLOOO");
}
}
My Logcat's box
image

You need to remove ValuesofLat from Search bar in your logcat and it will work fine
Just clear search bar from logcat's it will work fine
Check below image
clear search bar like below image and it will work fine

map is not displayed (blank)

I use the following code to display Google map on my Android app (taken from here).

In the AndroidManifest.xml, I've added these part:

android:value="#string/google_maps_key" />
And of course in strings.xml, I have something like this:
<string name="google_maps_key" templateMergeStrategy="preserve" translatable="false">xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</string>
When the app is run, there is not map drawn at all. Blank. I tried to debug the code a few times, and couldn't find any significant line in logcat (maybe I missed that). What could be possibly wrong here?

The first issue I see with your code is you need to call the mv.onCreate(this) before calling mv.getMapAsync().
I am looking into your code further to see if there are any other issues.
Lifecycle of a MapView https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/maps/MapView
Also the only time you call mGoogleMap.moveCamerais in onLocationChanged can you try setting an initial location in onMapReady and see if the map shows up. Something like this

I need AppCompatActivity but the MapTabActivity extends already SupportMapFragment

I'm getting errors for not extending AppCompatActivity.
How do I solve this?
I've market with HERE the places the errors are found
Can I replace the "this" with something else?
I have seen that you can make your own toolbar , would that work?

you can see the errors in this picure

You are using SupportMapFragment, so try with
getActivity() or getContext ().
getActivity()- Return the Activity this fragment is currently associated with.
getContext () Returns the context the view is running in, through which it can access the current theme, resources, etc.
Example
Toast.makeText(getContext(), "permission denied", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

Re-Transition when I click on button (e.g./i.e. Like Intent from current Activity to self Activity)

Basically I am working on Google Map in which I have Google Map Activity and user click on any place of Google Map I was adding marker on this click and I have one button on this button click I take this marker position and put it to my Firebase Database.My complete code was working, but the problem is that when I click on the button which takes marker latlang to Firebase, my latlang value successfully update and my map Activity is re-transited (e.g./i.e. like Intent from current Activity to self Activity) that for my map was reloaded and I lose marker on screen.

If I put some static value on bus.setlatitude() and bus.setlongitude no re-transition occur. I don't know what I am doing wrong and what is solution for this problem.
