How to click on marker produced by places API and find the lat/long of that marker and then upload to firebase

I am using the places API to show places as markers on my map, I then want to be able to click on one of markers and save its information to firebase. At the moment when I save it to firebase it saves my current location instead of the markers lat long. pls help :)
mStar is the button that is clicked that once clicked I want to add the location to firebase...
mStar.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
//Toast.makeText(NearbyLocations.this, "Rating......", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
/*latitude = marker.getPosition().latitude;
longitude = marker.getPosition().longitude;*/
LocationInformation locInfo = new LocationInformation(name, latitude, longitude);
FirebaseUser user = mAuth.getCurrentUser();
String userID = user.getUid();
saveLocations.child(userID).child("Locations").setValue(locInfo)
.addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<Void>() {
#Override
public void onSuccess(Void aVoid) {
Toast.makeText(NearbyLocations.this, "Location saved", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
})
.addOnFailureListener(new OnFailureListener() {
#Override
public void onFailure(#NonNull Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(NearbyLocations.this, "Error location not saved", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
});
}
});
this is the whole class as per requested in the comments.. thank you!!!!!

By looking at your code i found that you are assigning latitude and longitude inside void onLocationChanged(Location location) and that is why you are getting current location while clicking on star.
You should assign latitude and longitude inside onclick of marker as following.
mMap.setOnMarkerClickListener(new GoogleMap.OnMarkerClickListener() {
#Override
public boolean onMarkerClick(Marker marker) {
latitude = marker.getPosition().latitude;
longitude = marker.getPosition().longitude;
return true;
}
});
Remove any other assignments and then click on star button,you should get proper location.

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
}

Hope this Answer Will help you.instead of gps use Google Fused Api Read Documentation Here For Fused Api and Read this Answer

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 convert longitude and latitude into street address using android 6.0?

I am developing an app,In this I'm using google map in android 6.0 and below the versions 6.0 both to find current location of user.The problem is my app shows proper current location of user in map but not show street address of user in textfield and the devices of android os version less than 6.0 shows the current location of street address in textfield. Following is the which i used. Please Suggest me, How do i solve this using android marshmallow?
