I'm new to android and i'm trying to develop an android application which includes tracking the user location details and showing it on a google map and the location should be updated in the map whenever it is changed. I'm unable to understand how to get this through google maps v2. They mentioned to change dependencies but i'm unable to find where to do that can anyone explain the usage of this with a simple example i tried to implement the steps given in below link but i'm unable to find project properties to edit
https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=19nQzvKP-CVLd7_VrpwnHfl-AE9fjbJySowONZZtNHzw
If you want to show location of user on map when the change their location you need to take, Location API and Google Map API,
here is dependency link put in your app level gradel,
dependencies {
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:10.0.1'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:10.0.1'
}
Then after you need to start location service for update location on map also you need to initialise your map,
Here i consider You initialised your map show I am just showing how to use location api,

I am trying to display a users current location using the google map activity. when the activity is launched the google map is displayed as it should be, but there is no marker and the users current location is not gotten. The map displays a view over many different countries. After putting Toast messages in every method i realise onLocationChange is not being called, as no Toast appears for this method.

Permissions

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
In order to display user location you should add:
mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
on your onMapReady callback, there's no need to use a LocationRequest.
Be aware that you'll be able to get user position after your app has achieved location permissions. To do so you can follow this guide or use a third party library like easy permissions
After hours of research the answer was in front of me, the location settings were disabled in the phone settings. Witting this so the next person inst as stupid as me.
I have an android service and I'd like to do the following:
When clicking a button, I start this service, the toast in the onCreate() method always appears but after that I cannot see the longitude-latitude popping up. My main goal is to use this longitude-latitude couple in more activities.
How can I achieve this?
I implemented GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks, GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener, com.google.android.gms.location .LocationListener because I had to wait 20-30 seconds to get the coordinates. The following code works in an activity, but not as a service.
Thanks!

It is because you are working on Service.
Try this:
Handler handler = new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper());
handler.post(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
getString(R.string.string_id),
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
Any UI component can't be accessed from background thread.
If need be arise use handler and sen msg to UI thread and update UI components.
I'm getting errors for not extending AppCompatActivity.
How do I solve this?
I've market with HERE the places the errors are found
Can I replace the "this" with something else?
I have seen that you can make your own toolbar , would that work?

you can see the errors in this picure
You are using SupportMapFragment, so try with
getActivity() or getContext ().
getActivity()- Return the Activity this fragment is currently associated with.
getContext () Returns the context the view is running in, through which it can access the current theme, resources, etc.
Example
Toast.makeText(getContext(), "permission denied", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Level
I am a beginner
Task
To run an android service that sends location updates (latitude, longitude) to a database periodically while a driver is driving (to track location) every 5mins. I want to update the database with location even if the app is not active, hence I decided to use the firebase job dispatcher.
Note
I have already seen several threads on how to do this using ALARM_MANAGER or broadcast receivers etc. I would like to know how to do this with a job dispatcher. My current code works but I am pretty sure its not the right way to go about it.
Questions
1. Where do I make a call to build the Googleapi and call the Connect() method? Right now, my scheduler calls a class 'onStart', which in turns performs the connection.
Instead of using the jobScheduler is there any way in which I can use the 'Location Receiver' to do this as I read it takes a time interval, and returns the updated location by overwriting onLocationChanged().
Currently Working Code
The firebase service:-
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.pm.PackageManager;
import android.location.Location;
import android.os.AsyncTask;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.annotation.NonNull;
import android.support.annotation.Nullable;
import android.support.v4.app.ActivityCompat;
import android.util.Log;
import com.firebase.jobdispatcher.JobParameters;
import com.firebase.jobdispatcher.JobService;
import com.google.android.gms.common.ConnectionResult;
import com.google.android.gms.common.api.GoogleApiClient;
import com.google.android.gms.location.LocationServices;
public class GPSTracking extends JobService {
private AsyncTask mBackgroundTask;
public static final String LOG_TAG = "location-scheduler";
#Override
public boolean onStartJob(final JobParameters jobParameters) {
Log.i(LOG_TAG,"Scheduling");
mBackgroundTask = new AsyncTask() {
#Override
protected Object doInBackground(Object[] params) {
Context context = GPSTracking2.this;
LocationTracker.execute(context);
return null;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(Object o) {
jobFinished(jobParameters, false);
}
};
mBackgroundTask.execute();
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onStopJob(JobParameters jobParameters) {
if (mBackgroundTask != null) {
mBackgroundTask.cancel(true);
}
return true;
}
}
The actual tracking:-

Log.i("TRACKING LON", String.valueOf(location.getLongitude()));
}
else
{
Log.i("TRACKING LAT", "Null location received");
}
}
#Override
public void onConnected(#Nullable Bundle bundle) {
// Create new location request
// The permission should be granted previously
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {

}
mLastLocation = LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation(mGoogleApiClient);
trackLocation(mLastLocation);
}

Log.i(LOG_TAG,"Connection suspended");
}
#Override
public void onConnectionFailed(#NonNull ConnectionResult connectionResult) {
Log.i(LOG_TAG,"Connection failed");
}
}
Inside Main, start the scheduling:
Driver driver = new GooglePlayDriver(context);
FirebaseJobDispatcher dispatcher = new FirebaseJobDispatcher(driver);
Job locationTrackerJob = dispatcher.newJobBuilder()
.setService(GPSTracking.class)
.setTag(JOB_TAG)
.setLifetime(Lifetime.FOREVER)
.setRecurring(true)
.setTrigger(Trigger.executionWindow(
REMINDER_INTERVAL_SECONDS,
REMINDER_INTERVAL_SECONDS + SYNC_FLEXTIME_SECONDS
))
.setReplaceCurrent(true)
.build();
dispatcher.schedule(locationTrackerJob);
NOTE
- You might have to add code to check for permissions depending on the api
- I am leaving out registering the service in Android manifest and dependency in build gradle.
I use the code below in my project to retrieve the current location of the user. However, this seems to work on my test devices of API Level 23, but does not work on my test devices of API levels 19 to 22. The request for a location will return null and therefor place me at coordinates 0,0..
How can i get correct coordinates for API levels 19 to 22?
