Get location from activity start and every one second then store lat,lng to variable

I need to get the location of a user continuously every second so that when the user presses on the button, it will call buttonclick class and it will (for the purpose of this question) show the Precise GPS location of the user.
Here is my code:
public class Local_Map extends FragmentActivity implements OnMapReadyCallback, LocationListener {
private GoogleMap mMap;
private static final int LOCATION_PERMISSION_REQUEST_CODE = 1;
private LatLng user_location;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_local_map);
// 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);
}
#Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
mMap = googleMap;
mMap.setOnMyLocationButtonClickListener(onMyLocationButtonClickListener);
enableMyLocationIfPermitted();
mMap.setMinZoomPreference(14);
}
private void enableMyLocationIfPermitted() {
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this,
Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)
!= PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this,
new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION,
Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION},
LOCATION_PERMISSION_REQUEST_CODE);
} else if (mMap != null) {
mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
LocationManager LM = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
String provider = LM.getBestProvider(new Criteria(), false);
Location loc = LM.getLastKnownLocation(provider);
LatLng pos_gps;
if (loc == null) {
pos_gps = new LatLng(16.482655,-238.846006);
} else {
pos_gps = new LatLng(loc.getLatitude(), loc.getLongitude());
user_location = pos_gps;
}
CameraPosition cameraPosition = new CameraPosition.Builder()
.target(pos_gps) // Sets the center of the map to location user
.zoom(16) // Sets the zoom
.build(); // Creates a CameraPosition from the builder
mMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newCameraPosition(cameraPosition));
}
}
private void showDefaultLocation() {
Toast.makeText(this, "Location permission not granted, " +
"Please re-install application",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
LatLng redmond = new LatLng(47.6739881, -122.121512);
mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(redmond));
}
#Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, #NonNull String[] permissions,
#NonNull int[] grantResults) {
switch (requestCode) {
case LOCATION_PERMISSION_REQUEST_CODE: {
if (grantResults.length > 0
&& grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
enableMyLocationIfPermitted();
} else {
showDefaultLocation();
}
return;
}
}
}
private GoogleMap.OnMyLocationButtonClickListener onMyLocationButtonClickListener =
new GoogleMap.OnMyLocationButtonClickListener() {
#Override
public boolean onMyLocationButtonClick() {
mMap.setMinZoomPreference(14);
return false;
}
};
public void buttonclick(View view){
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Current location:\n" + user_location, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
LatLng position_gps = new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());
user_location = position_gps;
mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(position_gps, 15));
}
#Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
}
#Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
}
#Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
}
}
Here are some of the issues I have encountered:
1.) AT startup, the location is NULL
2.) Even if the user has moved kilometers away, the GPS coordinates is still the same. [Although the blue dot, which indicates the phone, is moving]
How do I force the location to be updated continuously?

You can add the handler to hit the method on every second....
Handler handler=new Handler();
handler.post(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
//Your Method to call
handler.postDelayed(this,1000);
}
});

Can't get location using onLocationChanged

Don't use new LocationListener() in this line locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0, new LocationListener() .
Create a listener object and use that, or simply use this.
new LocationListener()
is different which you're accessing .

Lots of things could change the result. The first one seems permission, so if the app isn't granted to use them then it'll be returned and wont make any location request.
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) {
...
return;
}
Others could be statuses of providers. So if they are not enabled, wont make any location request too
One for network provider
if(locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER))
And gps provider
if(locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER))
This code is also error-prone.
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) {
...
return;
}
You saying there, don't work if gps and network permissions aren't granted. But work if any of them granted.
Then you are making location requests without knowing which one is granted.
Finally, causing the not granted one will throw SecurityException

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);
}

Google maps Android API and current location

I am trying to implement the google maps API. I want to see my own position on the map and I want that it changes when I move significantly. The problem is that there are no errors but it does not display a marker of my position on the map. This is my onCreate() methode in the .java file
private GoogleMap mMap;
private GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;
private LocationRequest mLocationRequest;
public static final String TAG = MapPane.class.getSimpleName();
private final static int CONNECTION_FAILURE_RESOLUTION_REQUEST = 9000;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_map_pane);
// 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);
// Create the LocationRequest object
mLocationRequest = LocationRequest.create()
.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY)
.setInterval(10 * 1000) // 10 seconds, in milliseconds
.setFastestInterval(1 * 1000); // 1 second, in milliseconds
mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
.addConnectionCallbacks(this)
.addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
.addApi(LocationServices.API)
.build();
}//onCreate
And this is the method I think I am missing here something
public void onConnected(#Nullable Bundle bundle) {
Log.i(TAG, "Location services connected.");
Location location = LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation(mGoogleApiClient);
if (location == null) {
Log.i(TAG, "loc exists");
if (checkSelfPermission(android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED
|| checkSelfPermission(android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, mLocationRequest, this);
}//if
}//if
else {
handleNewLocation(location);
}//else
}//onConnected
because I never get into the second if statement. I guess I need the permission of the user first? Turning the gps on manually on my device does not work either. And the method below I used for displaying the marker on the map
private void handleNewLocation(Location location) {
Log.d(TAG, location.toString());
double currentLatitude = location.getLatitude();
double currentLongitude = location.getLongitude();
LatLng latLng = new LatLng(currentLatitude, currentLongitude);
MarkerOptions options = new MarkerOptions()
.position(latLng)
.title("I am here!");
mMap.addMarker(options);
mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(latLng));
}//handleNewLocation
I used more methods but I think there is no flaw in there. In the AndroidManifest.xml I included
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />

You can use LocationManager instead of google api client
LocationManager lm = (LocationManager) getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
final Geocoder gc = new Geocoder(this, Locale.getDefault());
LocationListener locationListener = new LocationListener() {
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
//here you can get current position location.getLatitude(),location.getLongitude();
}
#Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
}
#Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
}
#Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
}
};
lm.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 0, 0, locationListener);

It seems your code is not providing any location to thehandlelocation() method.
private GoogleMap mMap;
private GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;
private LocationRequest mLocationRequest;
public static final String TAG = MapPane.class.getSimpleName();
private final static int CONNECTION_FAILURE_RESOLUTION_REQUEST = 9000;
LocationListener li;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_map_pane);
// Obtain the SupportMapFragment and get notified when the map is reato be used.
SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
.findFragmentById(R.id.map);
mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
li=new LocationListener() {
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
handleNewLocation(location);
}
#Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
}
#Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
}
#Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
}
};
getHandledCurrentLocation();
}//onCr
private void getHandledCurrentLocation() {
String locationProvider = LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER;
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// TODO: Consider calling
// ActivityCompat#requestPermissions
// here to request the missing permissions, and then overriding
// public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions,
// int[] grantResults)
// to handle the case where the user grants the permission. See the documentation
// for ActivityCompat#requestPermissions for more details.
return;
}
Log.e("LOCATION_DEBUG","LOCATION REQUESTED--- ");
LCM.requestLocationUpdates(locationProvider, 10 * 1000, 0,li);
}
private void handleNewLocation(Location location) {
Log.d(TAG, location.toString());
double currentLatitude = location.getLatitude();
double currentLongitude = location.getLongitude();
LatLng latLng = new LatLng(currentLatitude, currentLongitude);
MarkerOptions options = new MarkerOptions()
.position(latLng)
.title("I am here!");
mMap.addMarker(options);
mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(latLng));
}//handleNewLocation
this code should work.

I can see few issues with your code. I don't think you are handling the location updates provided by FusedLocationApi. I believe you are implementing LocationListener even though that part of the code is not provided in your question. In that case you are implementing a method 'onLocationChanged(Location location) ' in your activity. This is the method in which you should try to set the new location on the map. Your handleNewLocation method will not be called by FusedLocationApi automatically
You may want to provide the complete code for your activity , then we can help you better.

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()
{
Location myLocation = map.getMyLocation();
if(myLocation!=null)
{
double dLatitude = myLocation.getLatitude();
double dLongitude = myLocation.getLongitude();
map.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(new LatLng(dLatitude, dLongitude))
.title("My Location").icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory
.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_RED)));
map.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(new LatLng(dLatitude, dLongitude), 8));
}
else
{
Toast.makeText(this, "Unable to fetch the current location", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}

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
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
#Override
protected void onResume() {
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
protected void onPause(){
super.onPause();
if (mGoogleApiClient != null) {
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.removeLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, this);
}
}
protected synchronized void buildGoogleApiClient() {
Toast.makeText(this, "buildGoogleApiClient", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
.addConnectionCallbacks(this)
.addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
.addApi(LocationServices.API)
.build();
}
#Override
public void onConnected(Bundle bundle) {
Toast.makeText(this,"onConnected", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
mLocationRequest = new LocationRequest();
mLocationRequest.setInterval(1000);
mLocationRequest.setFastestInterval(1000);
mLocationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_BALANCED_POWER_ACCURACY);
//mLocationRequest.setSmallestDisplacement(0.1F);
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, mLocationRequest, this);
}
#Override
public void onConnectionSuspended(int i) {
}
#Override
public void onConnectionFailed(ConnectionResult connectionResult) {
}
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
mLastLocation = location;
//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))
.title("My Location").icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory
.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_RED)));
map.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(new LatLng(dLatitude, dLongitude), 8));
}
}

This is working correctly remaining all are deprecated
private FusedLocationProviderClient fusedLocationClient;
fusedLocationClient = LocationServices.getFusedLocationProviderClient(this);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
if (checkSelfPermission(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && checkSelfPermission(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// TODO: Consider calling
// Activity#requestPermissions
// here to request the missing permissions, and then overriding
// public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions,
// int[] grantResults)
// to handle the case where the user grants the permission. See the documentation
// for Activity#requestPermissions for more details.
return;
}
}
fusedLocationClient.getLastLocation()
.addOnSuccessListener(this, new OnSuccessListener<Location>() {
#Override
public void onSuccess(Location location) {
// Got last known location. In some rare situations this can be null.
if (location != null) {
mylatitude = location.getLatitude();
mylongitude = location.getLongitude();
Log.d("chk", "onSuccess: "+mylongitude);
// Logic to handle location object
}
}
});
