How to click on marker produced by places API and find the lat/long of that marker and then upload to firebase

I am using the places API to show places as markers on my map, I then want to be able to click on one of markers and save its information to firebase. At the moment when I save it to firebase it saves my current location instead of the markers lat long. pls help :)
mStar is the button that is clicked that once clicked I want to add the location to firebase...
mStar.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
//Toast.makeText(NearbyLocations.this, "Rating......", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
/*latitude = marker.getPosition().latitude;
longitude = marker.getPosition().longitude;*/
LocationInformation locInfo = new LocationInformation(name, latitude, longitude);
FirebaseUser user = mAuth.getCurrentUser();
String userID = user.getUid();
saveLocations.child(userID).child("Locations").setValue(locInfo)
.addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<Void>() {
#Override
public void onSuccess(Void aVoid) {
Toast.makeText(NearbyLocations.this, "Location saved", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
})
.addOnFailureListener(new OnFailureListener() {
#Override
public void onFailure(#NonNull Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(NearbyLocations.this, "Error location not saved", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
});
}
});
this is the whole class as per requested in the comments.. thank you!!!!!

By looking at your code i found that you are assigning latitude and longitude inside void onLocationChanged(Location location) and that is why you are getting current location while clicking on star.
You should assign latitude and longitude inside onclick of marker as following.
mMap.setOnMarkerClickListener(new GoogleMap.OnMarkerClickListener() {
#Override
public boolean onMarkerClick(Marker marker) {
latitude = marker.getPosition().latitude;
longitude = marker.getPosition().longitude;
return true;
}
});
Remove any other assignments and then click on star button,you should get proper location.

google maps touch listener not working in recyclerview android

I have implemented google maps inside RecyclerView. I'm trying to implement both the Places API functionality and google maps both to be on the same activity. The problem is the Places Api is working fine but the google maps interface is unresponsive. When I try to zoom in the google map or click on it there is no response, it is static.

You have to use threads for this purpose , with time out of 10 seconds so every 10 seconds your code in thread will run
new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
// This method will be executed once the timer is over
// insert your data to db here
// close this activity
finish();
}
}, TIME_OUT);
And set time out as
private static int TIME_OUT = 10000;
Here you go :)

Create a background service class like this
public class LocationBackGroundService extends Service implements LocationListener,
GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks,
GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener {
private static final String TAG = "LocationBackGroundService";
private static final long INTERVAL = 100;
private static final long FASTEST_INTERVAL = 100;
LocationRequest mLocationRequest;
GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;
Location mCurrentLocation;
Context mCOntext;
public void LocationBackGroundService(Context mContext) {
this.mCOntext = mContext;
}
protected void createLocationRequest() {
mLocationRequest = new LocationRequest();
mLocationRequest.setInterval(INTERVAL);
mLocationRequest.setFastestInterval(FASTEST_INTERVAL);
mLocationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
}
#Override
public void onStart(Intent intent, int startId) {
super.onStart(intent, startId);
mGoogleApiClient.connect();
}
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
if (!isGooglePlayServicesAvailable()) {
// finish();
}
createLocationRequest();
mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
.addApi(LocationServices.API)
.addConnectionCallbacks(this)
.addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
.build();
if (mGoogleApiClient.isConnected()) {
startLocationUpdates();
}
}
private boolean isGooglePlayServicesAvailable() {
int status = GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(this);
if (ConnectionResult.SUCCESS == status) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
#Nullable
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
#Override
public void onConnected(Bundle bundle) {
startLocationUpdates();
}
protected void startLocationUpdates() {
PendingResult<Status> pendingResult = LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(
mGoogleApiClient, mLocationRequest, this);
Log.d(TAG, "Location update started ..............: ");
}
#Override
public void onConnectionSuspended(int i) {
Toast.makeText(this, "OnConnection Suspended", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#Override
public void onConnectionFailed(ConnectionResult connectionResult) {
Toast.makeText(this, "OnConnection Failed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
if (null != mCurrentLocation) {
mCurrentLocation = location;
String lat = String.valueOf(mCurrentLocation.getLatitude());
String lng = String.valueOf(mCurrentLocation.getLongitude());
}
}
}
And call when activity starts like this
startService(new Intent(this, yourBackgroundServiceName.class));
and in menifest
<service android:name=".yourBackgroundServiceName"></service>
and don;t forget to add run time permissions before stating a service

Instead saving your lat lon to LocalDB you can use Shared Preferences.
For more help about shared Preferences use given link https://www.tutorialspoint.com/android/android_shared_preferences.htm
Make different class and make a method to save your lat lon when ever you get after 10 second.

How to calculate accurate distance travelled by the user using google maps?

I am having two doubts because today only i started doing projects on google maps my first doubt is
How to calculate distance traveled by user when using google maps ?
like how taxi app is calculating the distance, now let me explain my problem in depth regarding this question i have checkin and check out button in map when user click the checkin button i will take that exact lat and long of that user when user checkout i will fetch the lat and long from where he checked out, after i will send this source latlong and destination latlong to google api this will return the kilometer. But what i need is wherever he traveled he may traveled extra bit of kilometer i need to calculate that also how can i do that.
My second doubt is my google maps taking long time to plot the blue mark in my map it shows searching for gps in notification bar how can i achieve this ?
Below is my complete Code
VisitTravel.java

Searched alot and not getting proper way to start with? Any help would really valuable.
--Thanks!

This worked for me:
Capture the latitude and longitude at regular intervals and store. Calculate and sum the distance between each stored value.
