App is getting crashed while accessing this activity, I am trying to access current location through google map api in android studio and using firebase location. Please help me resolve this error, is there any mistake in manifest file or java file. I have written all the required permissions in manifest file but still the app is getting crashed while running. You can also check the logcat for the error.

You need to request for user's permission to access location.

Need a Android Studio/OSMDroid Guide for a school project

I'm currently developping an App in a school/exam purpose.
I'm using Android Studio 2.0 and an OPO with 5.1.1 on it and a Nexus 7 with 6.0.1 !
The goal is to display the location of the device on a map, and to trace a route passing by waypoints (cultural buildings).
I have no problem displaying the map (I'm able to center it on my city and with a good zoom level)
Now I want to display the current location of the device.
I encounter problems with permissions..

Your problem with permissions is due to changes brought to Android 6.0 that requires you to ask permission at runtime instead of requesting at install like before.
You can read more here, under the "Manifest" section.

Make sure that you have activated android map v2 api on google console.
you have created proper android key by entering correct SHA1 and package name on google console.
try to run it on physical device.

Make sure you have "Google Repository" installed from the SDK manager. They never mention this in the instructions but this must be installed alongside the Google Play Services SDK for everything to function.

Because I'm in China, it's not convenient to access Google server. Therefore I used a proxy to make the network can access the Google and then everything goes well. Thank all you guys for responding and special thank to #Yazan who gave me a prompt.

How to drop a marker on the users location in Google Maps v2

Hi I want the user to be able to find their location on Google Maps v2. Something is happening when I click the location button on the map because a little satellite thing with beams coming off of it appears at the top of my phone. Can anyone help with this problem?
Also as a side question is there any way of adding directions or distance to a defined location too?

From the docs:
Make a marker draggable
You can reposition a marker once its been added to the map so long as its draggable property is set to true. Long press the marker to enable dragging. When you take your finger off the screen, the marker will remain in that position.
Markers are not draggable by default. You must explicitly set the marker to be draggable either with MarkerOptions.draggable(boolean) prior to adding it to the map, or Marker.setDraggable(boolean) once it has been added to the map. You can listen for drag events on the marker, as described in Marker drag events.
The below snippet adds a draggable marker at Perth, Australia.
static final LatLng PERTH = new LatLng(-31.90, 115.86);
Marker melbourne = mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
.position(PERTH)
.draggable(true));
More info here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/marker?hl=nl#make_a_marker_draggable
Check this for the second question: Launching Google Maps Directions via an intent on Android

Here is how to do it:
// Acquire a reference to the system Location Manager
LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) this.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
// Define a listener that responds to location updates
LocationListener locationListener = new LocationListener() {
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
// Called when a new location is found by the network location provider.
googleMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
.position(new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude()))
.title("Hello world"));
}
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {}
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {}
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {}
};
// Register the listener with the Location Manager to receive location updates
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 0, 0, locationListener);
Also, be sure to add the correct permissions in your manifest:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>

Try turning GPS satellites off in Location access settings. If it's enabled but GPS can't be reached, the my location button fails silently; by turning it off it apparently forces the feature to use the network provider.
