LatLng variable is not being assigned its latitude and longitude

I'm currently having issues with my android code. My LatLng variable currentLocation is always null and I cannot seem to set it so that it is assigned to the two latitude and longitude values that I get in the onSuccess() listener.
In the method getCurrentLocation(), I get the latitude and longtitude values from the Task, which I then put into a variable current I then assign currentLocation, the value of current. I used breakpoints but current is not being assigned to currentLocation
Please see code for reference:
public class MapsActivity extends FragmentActivity implements OnMapReadyCallback {
private GoogleMap mMap;
public Location myLocation;
public LatLng currentLocation;
public double latitude;
public double longitude;
FusedLocationProviderClient fusedLocationProviderClient;
private static final int REQUEST_CODE = 101;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_maps);
// 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);
currentLocation = new LatLng(0,0);
fusedLocationProviderClient = LocationServices.getFusedLocationProviderClient(this);
}
private void getCurrentLocation() {
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION}, REQUEST_CODE);
return;
}
Task<Location> task = fusedLocationProviderClient.getLastLocation();
task.addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<Location>() {
#Override
public void onSuccess(Location location) {
if(location != null){
myLocation = location;
double lat = location.getLatitude();
double lon = location.getLongitude();
Log.v("MapsActivity", "Lat: " + latitude + " Long: " + longitude);
latitude = lat;
longitude = lon;
LatLng current = new LatLng(latitude, longitude);
currentLocation = current;
}
}
});
}
#Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION}, REQUEST_CODE);
return;
}
getCurrentLocation();
Log.v("MapsActivity", "Latitude: " + latitude + " Longitude: " + longitude);
mMap = googleMap;
mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(currentLocation).title("Your location"));
mMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(currentLocation,10));
}
#Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, #NonNull String[] permissions, #NonNull int[] grantResults) {
...
}
}
Thank you in advance

I implemented a callback between two methods, so when the getCurrentLocation finish, then init the onMapReady logic:
class ExampleCallbackClass {
interface Callback {
void onFinish();
}
void onMapReady() {
Callback callback = new Callback() {
#Override
public void onFinish() {
// Your onMapReady logic
}
};
getCurrentLocation(callback);
}
private void getCurrentLocation(Callback callback) {
// Your logic, and finally:
callback.onFinish();
}
}

Map does not open to user's location in Android

Whenever I run my Android code and my map opens on my real device (not on the emulator), it is not pointing anywhere and it just shows a map of the world zoomed out instead of the user's location. I have tried various various combinations to get this right and nothing has helped me.
Below is the code I tried for getting the user's and still the behavior remains the same. I tried changing GPS_SERVICE to NETWORK_PROVIDER and still no help. What might be the solution here?
The device I am using for testing here is One Plus 3.
Manifest.xml:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

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.

Move marker with gps in google map android

I want to make move of the marker in GOOGLE MAP while gps location changes just like in UBER app. I have found some solutions but unable to solve my issue. The solutions are 1 and 2
Below is my onLocationChange() method
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
double lattitude = location.getLatitude();
double longitude = location.getLongitude();
mLastLocation = location;
if (mCurrLocationMarker != null) {
mCurrLocationMarker.remove();
}
//Place current location marker
LatLng latLng = new LatLng(lattitude, longitude);
MarkerOptions markerOptions = new MarkerOptions();
markerOptions.position(latLng);
markerOptions.title("I am here");
markerOptions.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_RED));
mCurrLocationMarker = mGoogleMap.addMarker(markerOptions);
tv_loc.append("Lattitude: " + lattitude + " Longitude: " + longitude);
//move map camera
mGoogleMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(latLng));
mGoogleMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(15));
//stop location updates
if (mGoogleApiClient != null) {
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.removeLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, this);
}
}

Any help would be highly appreciated

You can use below code to update position of the Marker
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
double lattitude = location.getLatitude();
double longitude = location.getLongitude();
//Place current location marker
LatLng latLng = new LatLng(lattitude, longitude);
if(mCurrLocationMarker!=null){
mCurrLocationMarker.setPosition(latLng);
}else{
mCurrLocationMarker = mGoogleMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
.position(latLng)
.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_RED))
.title("I am here");
}
tv_loc.append("Lattitude: " + lattitude + " Longitude: " + longitude);
gMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(latLng, 15));
//stop location updates
if (mGoogleApiClient != null) {
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.removeLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, this);
}
}
You don't need to clear map every time. You can do it by Marker object that is returned when adding Marker to Map.
Hope it will help you.

First of All implement LocationListener in your Activity then
if you need to show only one Marker(update position of Marker), use this :
private Marker currentPositionMarker = null;
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
LatLng latLng = new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());
CameraPosition cameraPosition = new CameraPosition.Builder()
.target(latLng).zoom(14).build();
// mMap.clear(); // Call if You need To Clear Map
if (currentPositionMarker == null)
currentPositionMarker = mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_YELLOW))
.position(latLng)
.zIndex(20));
else
currentPositionMarker.setPosition(latLng);
mMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory
.newCameraPosition(cameraPosition));
}
or if you want to add a new marker every time :
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
LatLng latLng = new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());
CameraPosition cameraPosition = new CameraPosition.Builder()
.target(latLng).zoom(14).build();
mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_YELLOW))
.position(latLng)
.zIndex(20));
mMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory
.newCameraPosition(cameraPosition));
}
if location was changed rapidly, it would take a couple of seconds for your app to update its location marker

This can be done using CameraPosition, googleMap.animateCamera and marker movement animation using linear interpolator.
You can take a look at this tutorial here and the respective github page.
This tutorial uses google maps v2. Hope this helps.

Use this:
implement LocationListener ,GoogleMap.OnMyLocationChangeListener in your map activity and then use location change Listener
#Override
public void onMyLocationChange(Location location) {
//mMap.clear //if you want refresh map remove comment
// Getting latitude of the current location
double latitude = location.getLatitude();
// Getting longitude of the current location
double longitude =location.getLongitude();
// Creating a LatLng object for the current location
LatLng latLng = new LatLng(latitude, longitude); //your_text_view.settext(latitude+","+longtitudde)
// Showing the current location in Google Map
mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(latLng));
mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(R.drawable.destination_marker)).position(latLng).title(maping_status));
// Zoom in the Google Map
mMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(20));
}

Inorder to animate just call this method (animateMarker) with previous location and new location along with Marker object
private Marker mCurrentMarker;
private float ZOOMLEVEL=18.0f;
private LatLng previousLatLon;
private Handler mLocalHandler;
private GoogleMap mGoogleMap;
public void animateMarker(final Marker marker, final LatLng toPosition,final LatLng fromPosition) {
final long duration = 500;
final Interpolator interpolator = new LinearInterpolator();
mLocalHandler.post(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
long elapsed = SystemClock.uptimeMillis() - mStartTime;
float t = interpolator.getInterpolation((float) elapsed
/ duration);
marker.setPosition(toPosition);
marker.setAnchor(Constants.MAPANCHOR, Constants.MAPANCHOR);
mGoogleMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(toPosition, ZOOMLEVEL));
if (t < 1.0) {
// Post again 16ms later.
mLocalHandler.postDelayed(this, 16);
} else {
marker.setVisible(true);
}
}
}
});
previousLatLon=toPosition;// reassign the previous location to current location
}

If you're still looking for the solution, hope this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKfZsCKSXVQ will help you. I've used this in one of my apps and it helps animating the marker from one location to other location.
Source code can be grabbed here https://gist.github.com/broady/6314689.
You might need to add rotation to your marker to show the exact direction of the marker. Following is the block of code that I'm using to find bearing.
private float bearingBetweenLatLngs(LatLng begin, LatLng end) {
Location beginL = convertLatLngToLocation(begin);
Location endL = convertLatLngToLocation(end);
return beginL.bearingTo(endL);
}

How to locate google map with current location in android?

I am developing an app,In this i am using google map to show user current location.The problem is when i open the app first time it shows blue map screen, and now i open the map again 2nd time then at this time map shows correct result with current location.This happen in targetsdkversion>23 and targetsdkversion<23 both the versions.Only the first time dosenot shows the correct map.Following is the code i am using.And how i validate the map whether map shows correct location or not ?

the 'blue screen' is the atlantic ocean. it's because the first time the current location is 0,0. Out of this reason you should get the current location before starting the map.
