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.

Here I am trying to get location using FusedLocationListener and display a marker at that location.
But the google map only shows default world map when app is launched for the first time.
Subsequently when I kill the app form the recent apps and launch the app again, it works fine.
Is it not able to get location the very first time I launch?

you need to add this in your class . so you can get location when user grant location permission.
#Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, #NonNull String[] permissions, #NonNull int[] grantResults) {
super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
List<Fragment> fragments = getSupportFragmentManager().getFragments();
if (requestCode != 0) {
mFusedLocationClient.requestLocationUpdates(mLocationRequest,
mLocationCallback,
null );
}
}

Why I can't add markers or zoom in my google maps Android app?

I am currently working on an app with Android studio. This app uses the google maps API.
Recently I managed to initialize the map with my location but for some reason, this does not let me add a marker in my location or make it start with a certain zoom. (You only see a blue dot)
Do you know why? What am I doing wrong?
My map activity code is like this:
public class MapsActivity extends FragmentActivity implements OnMapReadyCallback, LocationListener {
private GoogleMap mMap;
LocationManager locationManager;
String provider;
LatLng myPosition;
#Override

setContentView(R.layout.activity_maps);
locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
provider = locationManager.getBestProvider(new Criteria(), false);
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
return;
}
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(provider, 400, 1, this);
// Obtain the SupportMapFragment and get notified when the map is ready to be used.
SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
.findFragmentById(R.id.map);
mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
}
/**

EDIT:
First of all, thanks to everyone who tried to help me.
Second of all, I couldnt make my app work using all the tools you provided me so right now I still want to use location manager. The other reason for me using this is that I hate Android Studio emulator and my LG G3 only accepts API 21 (I think so)
This is the current code. I think it works fine but whenever it starts it starts in the last known location and not in the actual location. I do not know what to put instead of this --> Location locationActual = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(provider);;
public class MapsActivity extends FragmentActivity implements OnMapReadyCallback, LocationListener {
private GoogleMap mMap;
LocationManager locationManager;
String provider;
LatLng myPosition;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_maps);
locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
provider = locationManager.getBestProvider(new Criteria(), false);
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
return;
}
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(provider, 400, 1, this);
/* locationRequest = new LocationRequest();
//locationRequest.setInterval(7500);
//locationRequest.setFastestInterval(5000);
locationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);*/

.findFragmentById(R.id.map);
mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
}

Add marker in on LocationChanged.
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
if(mMap != null){
Latlng currentPosition = new Latlng(location.latitude, location.longitude);
mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(currentPosition));
googleMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(currentPosition));
googleMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(currentPosition, 16));
}
}
Instead of LodcationManger Use FusedLocationProviderApi. The advantage of FusedLocationProviderApi is here.
Complete tutorial here.

Okay let's try to do this the new and better way with FusedLocationApi.
You will need these implements.
implements OnMapReadyCallback, GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks, GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener, LocationListener
private GoogleMap mMap;
private GoogleApiClient googleApiClient;
private LocationRequest locationRequest;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_maps);
SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
.findFragmentById(R.id.map);
mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
googleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
.addApi(LocationServices.API)
.addConnectionCallbacks(this)
.addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
.build();
locationRequest = new LocationRequest();
locationRequest.setInterval(7500);
locationRequest.setFastestInterval(5000);
locationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
}
#Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
mMap = googleMap;
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
return;
}
mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
}
#Override
public void onConnected(#Nullable Bundle bundle) {
requestLocationUpdates();
}
private void requestLocationUpdates() {
Log.i("TESTTAG", "requestLocationUpdates");
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
requestPermissions(new String[]{
Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
}, 10);
}
}
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(googleApiClient, locationRequest, this);
Log.i("TESTTAG", "Is connected? requestlocationupdates " + String.valueOf(googleApiClient.isConnected()));
}
#Override
public void onConnectionSuspended(int i) {
}
#Override
public void onConnectionFailed(#NonNull ConnectionResult connectionResult) {
}
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
Log.i("TESTTAG", "onLocationChanged called");
Double myLocationLat = location.getLatitude();
Double myLocationLong = location.getLongitude();
LatLng myLocation = new LatLng(myLocationLat, myLocationLong);
mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(myLocation));
mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(myLocation));
mMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(15.0f));
}
This will 100% work for you. It will crash on first run because of permissions (You need to find a good place to actually ask for your permissions)
LocationRequest.setInterval(7500) means that it will ask for your device position ever 7,5 seconds.
If you try to use this in your project i am certain it will work for you

How to get current location of device on google maps api v2?

I´ve found some methods to do that but are deprecated or doesn´t work. I would like to get current latitude and longitude from device.
Here is how I'm getting the current location, but the GoogleMap getMyLocation() method is deprecated:
void getCurrentLocation()
{

For targeting api-23 and higher:
See the answer here.
For targeting api-22 and lower:
It's actually quite simple, using the FusedLocationProviderAPI is recommended over using the older open source Location APIs, especially since you're already using a Google Map so you are already using Google Play Services.
Simply set up a Location Listener, and update your current location Marker in each onLocationChanged() callback. If you only want one location update, just un-register for callbacks after the first callback returns.
public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity
implements OnMapReadyCallback,
GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks, GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener,
LocationListener {
private GoogleMap map;
private LocationRequest mLocationRequest;
private GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;
private Location mLastLocation;
private Marker marker;
#Override

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
#Override

super.onResume();
if (mGoogleApiClient == null || !mGoogleApiClient.isConnected()){
buildGoogleApiClient();
mGoogleApiClient.connect();
}
if (map == null) {
MapFragment mapFragment = (MapFragment) getFragmentManager()
.findFragmentById(R.id.map);
mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
}
}
#Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap retMap) {
map = retMap;
setUpMap();
}
public void setUpMap(){
map.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_HYBRID);
map.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
}
#Override

LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.removeLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, this);

#Override

#Override

//remove previous current location Marker
if (marker != null){
marker.remove();
}
double dLatitude = mLastLocation.getLatitude();
double dLongitude = mLastLocation.getLongitude();
marker = map.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(new LatLng(dLatitude, dLongitude))

This is working correctly remaining all are deprecated
