Manifiest Permisions
I have given following permission

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
My actual location is
31.175669, 74.104891
I have manually set my location in extended control of emulator.as shown in figure. But I want's that my code pick my location dynamically please help me
Android emulator image with extended control

I have the same issue. When you test your app in AVD map will show google corporation as your place. But if your code is correct, when you test the app in your device, you will get your current location correctly.

Your Android emulator doesn't use your real location. Most of the times the location is set in the Emulator settings, like in Android Studio.
Use a real device for testing, or open the settings to change your location.
You can find more information about the emulator here:
https://developer.android.com/studio/run/emulator

Android Maps SDK not getting current location

I am trying to display a users current location using the google map activity. when the activity is launched the google map is displayed as it should be, but there is no marker and the users current location is not gotten. The map displays a view over many different countries. After putting Toast messages in every method i realise onLocationChange is not being called, as no Toast appears for this method.

Permissions
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

In order to display user location you should add:
mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
on your onMapReady callback, there's no need to use a LocationRequest.
Be aware that you'll be able to get user position after your app has achieved location permissions. To do so you can follow this guide or use a third party library like easy permissions

After hours of research the answer was in front of me, the location settings were disabled in the phone settings. Witting this so the next person inst as stupid as me.

Android app crashing with FusedLocationProvider

I am trying to make an app that can track the GPS location of my bike. To start off, I've been trying to read the GPS location of my own phone. My app keeps crashing whenever I try to launch the fragment below. I have put in a Google API key for the App and placed the line " " in my manifest file. What are some good ways to debug this issue? I am new to Android Studio so I would love to hear any sort of feedback.

You need to use GoogleApiClient for FusedLocationApi.Here is a working code
protected synchronized void buildGoogleApiClient() {
mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
.addConnectionCallbacks(this)
.addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
.addApi(LocationServices.API)
.build();}
return;
}
Call buildGoogleApiClient method on onCreate().And implement required interfaces. GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks, GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener,
LocationListener
#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) {
// TODO: Consider calling
// ActivityCompat#requestPermissions
// here to request the missing permissions, and then overriding
// public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions,
// int[] grantResults)
// to handle the case where the user grants the permission. See the documentation
// for ActivityCompat#requestPermissions for more details.
return;
}
Location mLastLocation = LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation(
mGoogleApiClient);
if (mLastLocation != null) {
//place marker at current position
// Log.e("x", mLastLocation.getLongitude() + "");
//Log.e("y", mLastLocation.getLatitude() + "");
currentLocation = mLastLocation;
}
LocationRequest mLocationRequest = new LocationRequest();
mLocationRequest.setInterval(5000); //5 seconds
mLocationRequest.setFastestInterval(5000); //3 seconds
mLocationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_BALANCED_POWER_ACCURACY);
mLocationRequest.setSmallestDisplacement(50F); //1/10 meter
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, mLocationRequest, this);
}
#Override
public void onConnectionSuspended(int i) {
}
#Override
public void onConnectionFailed(#NonNull ConnectionResult connectionResult) {
}
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
currentLocation = location;
}
And define this parameters
private GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;
private Location currentLocation;
Btw if you are using Android 6.x or 7.x version. You need to grant permission at runtime.Check here

#FnR you're talking about the old version of the fusedlocationapi, a new one came out with the version 11 of the playservices, it's supposed to be much simpler, look here : https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2017/06/reduce-friction-with-new-location-apis.html
I got the same issue there seems to be a conflict between the new fusedlocationapi and the map activities.
I'm able to get my current location with this new technique in an empty activity with no map but the exact same code used in a map activity returns a null result.
Google didn't even provide any example of this with a map, which is crazy since getting the location is 99% of the time coupled with a map

I think the problem can occur with any library you can find that use com.google.android.gms.
If you have references to com.google.android.gms in android/app/build.gradle.
Try giving the associated library a new version that you currently have installed.
I found the version number of the library I am using by navigating to [YOUR_ANDROID_SDK]/extras/google/m2repository/com/google/android/gms
Then find the library that might be causing you problems for example play-services-auth.
In there you will see all the versions. Apply the newest to your build.gradle.
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:10.2.1'
Also add (It seems gcm is needed in GoogleApiClient Builder)
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:10.2.1'

GoogleMaps setMyLocationEnabled(true) not updating (Genymotion)

I'm updating my code with permissions from the new Android API 23. If I want to show user's location I just have to map.setMyLocationEnabled(true). If I have the permission I can see user's location, if I don't have permission I don't make this API call but after requesting the permissions and user accepts giving Location permissions I can't update the map with user's location. I've tried 2 approaches:
Approach 1 (rebuild map):
private void populateMap() {
mapFragment.getMapAsync(new OnMapReadyCallback() {
#Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap map) {
...
if (PermissionsManager.getInstance().hasLocationPermissions(getActivity())) {
map.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
} else {
request permissions...
}
...
}
}
}
#Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String permissions[], int[] grantResults) {
switch (requestCode) {
case PermissionsManager.LOCATION_PERMISSION_REQUEST: {
if (grantResults.length > 0 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
populateMap();
}
return;
}
}
}
Approach 2 (use map instance and update it):
private void populateMap() {
mapFragment.getMapAsync(new OnMapReadyCallback() {
#Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap map) {
mMap = map;
...
if (PermissionsManager.getInstance().hasLocationPermissions(getActivity())) {
map.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
} else {
request permissions...
}
...
}
}
}
#Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String permissions[], int[] grantResults) {
switch (requestCode) {
case PermissionsManager.LOCATION_PERMISSION_REQUEST: {
if (mMap!= null && grantResults.length > 0 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
}
return;
}
}
}
In both approaches the location button is shown, but the blue dot with user's location doesn't.
What am I missing here? Thanks.
ps: Of course If I kill my Fragment and launch it again everything works fine, this issue happens when I have to prompt user for permissions and then update the map with my location after user's authorization.

So, I was testing with Genymotion because I couldn't get my hands on a device with Android 6.0 but now, that I've borrowed one, I've tested this code in that physical device and I was happy to notice that it works.
Guess it's a Genymotion problem. Oh well, code's working.
Thanks!

could you please use the following code and feed me back with result :-
