Why won't Google maps auto zoom to user location when it first starts?

When the user first enters the GoogleMapsActivity it does not automatically take them to their location, the user has to click the little location icon button at the top right and it will take them to their location.
I have tried using newLatLngZoom(latLng, zoom) but that didn't work. And I went through all the suggested questions before posting this question, and none worked. Some were in iOS too. I am using Android.

I expect Google Maps to automatically go to the users location when they first go into the Google Maps Activity, but instead the user has to click the location button at the top right corner to send them there. Thanks for your help and advice in advanced!

I have tried using newLatLngZoom(latLng, zoom) but that didn't work.
Use it like this, it will work:
mMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_NORMAL);
mMap.getUiSettings().setZoomControlsEnabled(true);
mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(LatLng, zoom));
mMap.getUiSettings().setRotateGesturesEnabled(false);
mMap.getUiSettings().setZoomControlsEnabled(false);
Note:
First, you Enable Zoom Controls.
Then, you do the Zooming thing.
After that, you Disable Zoom Controls.
Hope it helps.

Re- JobScheduler combined with FusedLocationProvider Api oftens gives null location value

I have a jobScheduler with fusedLocationApi provider. It works alright but once a while it gives null value for a no. of time (6-7 times in a sequence). I tried onLocationChanged() and LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(), both gives null values at same time. How can I improve it? I have set high accuracy or Gps,wifi and mobile networks as locating method in device setting. thanks in advance.
One more thing, 80% of the null value are received when there is no wifi. I think Fused Api should have worked well without wifi as well Since there is gps available, isn't it?

Try this
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

Thanks in advance

It seems, that you try to get last location when your LocationClient connected. But you need to request a location update to receive your current location instead of calling getLastLocation(). You created your own LocationRequest in createLocationRequest() method but you haven't ever used it in code.
Example code:
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(yourGoogleApiClient, yourLocationRequest, yourLocationListener);
Update:
End when you received new location in yourLocationListener you need to you have to stop receiving location updates:
private LocationListener mLocationListener = new LocationListener() {
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
Log.v("onLocationChanged","onLocationChanged");
if(mGoogleApiClient.isConnected()) {
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.removeLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, mLocationListener);
mGoogleApiClient.disconnect();
}
//your code here }
};
More details you can find here.
Hope it will help you.

Android : Continuous Location update

I am a newbie to Android and working on my very first application. I am working on a application which takes continuous location update and show that on google map. It means no matter whether application is in foreground or in background.
For the same I am using fusedlocation API's requestLocationUpdates. There are two version of the same viz:
With LocationListener when app is in foreground
With pendingIntent when app goes to background.
So as per my understanding I have to use both as I need continuous update.So I am using both in my application as I need continuous update.
But as a surprise I got that requestLocationUpdates with pendingIntent giving me location update in foreground as well. So I am very confused here and sometime giving Location as NULL .
Please tell me what is the exact behaviour of requestLocationUpdates with pendingIntent . Will it work for both foreground and bckground ? If yes then why I am getting the Location as NULL sometime.
Another problem when I was using Locationreveiver then I was able toget proper location update when app was in foreground and I was drawing a line on googlemap. But I noticed my line was not in sync with googlemap route. It was zig zag . So here I am confused If I am getting continuous update then why not m route is sync with google route .
I am attaching the complecode of my location class. Please help

does anyone know why i am getting this Exception , because i already connected the api in the onStart() method !!
any answer would be helpful :D

onCreate() gets called before onStart(), so you are requesting the location before you have connected to the Google API.
Here is the lifecycle diagram from the Android Dev site: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html
