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.

How I display my current location in google map? [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
How can I show current location on a Google Map on Android Marshmallow?
(3 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
I wants to display my location in android device in google may using marker. I have written the following code. But there has no marker in the map. I also implement the LocationListener. But no marker. I am thankful to you if you send some code or give some suggestion.
I am also checking the isProviderAvailable and provider. They are not coming properly. isProviderAvailable returns false. Is I have to change some facility on my device? or any other problem. Please share your thought. I am waiting.

get latlng and put it in the code that i wrote bellow and put it on your OnMapReadyCallback
// Add a marker in Sydney, Australia,
// and move the map's camera to the same location.
LatLng sydney = new LatLng(-33.852, 151.211);
googleMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(sydney)
.title("Marker in Sydney"));
googleMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(sydney));
if you have any other questions im there

You can retrieve onLocationChanged Listener and Add maker init
#Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
mMap = googleMap;
LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) getActivity().getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
String bestProvider = locationManager.getBestProvider(criteria, true);
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(getActivity(), Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(getContext(), Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
return;
}
Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(bestProvider);
if (location != null) {
onLocationChanged(location);
}
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(bestProvider, 20000, 0, this);
}
Implement your onLocationChanged like this
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
if (location != null) {
LatLng latLng = new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());
mMap.clear();
Marker marker = mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(latLng));
marker.showInfoWindow();
mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(latLng, 13));
} else {
Toast.makeText(getContext(), "Location not found", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}

When placing markers on map activity the camera move to the marker

I am using nearbyPlaces web service and I have a problem, I am putting a marker on the map for each pharmacie that it finds, but the camera always move to the marker and it does not stay in the current user position dot.
this is the code
public class GetNearbyPlacesData extends AsyncTask<Object, String, String> {
String googlePlacesData;
GoogleMap mMap;
String url;
#Override
protected String doInBackground(Object... params) {
try {
Log.d("GetNearbyPlacesData", "doInBackground entered");
mMap = (GoogleMap) params[0];
url = (String) params[1];
DownloadUrl downloadUrl = new DownloadUrl();
googlePlacesData = downloadUrl.readUrl(url);

Any help please? thanks in advance

Your posted code includes these lines:
//move map camera
mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(latLng));
mMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(14.0f));
Sounds like you don't want to move the camera, so you should probably delete them.

google map in fragment not moving to current location using fused location api

i want to display current location on map, my map is in fragment and i'm using fused location provider in non activity class, but i'm not getting current location when the map is loaded, it is giving me current location only if i press mylocation button, but i want that when map is loaded it should show my current location not the world map.

Nearest location returns null

I have an arraylist of locations marker. I have this method to sort the list. I then assign the first lat and long in the list to a variable so I can get the nearest store.
Collections.sort(marker, new Comparator<Markers>() {
#Override
public int compare(Markers a, Markers b) {
Location locationA = new Location("point A");
locationA.setLatitude(a.latitude);
locationA.setLongitude(a.longitude);
Location locationB = new Location("point B");
locationB.setLatitude(b.latitude);
locationB.setLongitude(b.longitude);
float distanceOne = currPos.distanceTo(locationA);
float distanceTwo = currPos.distanceTo(locationB);
return Float.compare(distanceOne, distanceTwo);
}
});
nearest = new LatLng(marker.get(0).latitude, marker.get(0).longitude);
However, when I use the nearest variable to put a marker on it, no marker was posted on the map. When I checked the value of nearest it does not contain any coordinates. Am I missing on something? Here is my whole MapsActivity.java:

There's a race condition between your two threads.
mapFragment.getMapAsync(this); // thread 1
fetchData(); // thread 2
Thread 1 needs Thread 2 to finish and assign nearest to work. Otherwise it is null
You could call mapFragment.getMapAsync(MapsActivity.this); at the end of onPostExecute, but...
Your Asynctask is pointless at the moment because no data is being fetched by a background task.
