separate map from location doesn't update location onCreate

This is the getDeviceLocation I am currently using.
private void getDeviceLocation() {
/*
* Get the best and most recent location of the device, which may be null in rare
* cases when a location is not available.
*/
try {
if (mLocationPermissionGranted) {
Task<Location> locationResult = mFusedLocationProviderClient.getLastLocation();
locationResult.addOnSuccessListener(getActivity(), new OnSuccessListener<Location>() {
#Override
public void onSuccess(Location location) {
if (location != null) {
SET_LOCATION_STATUS = 1;
mMap.clear();
// Set the map's camera position to the current location of the device.
mLastKnownLocation = location;//task.getResult();
// showMap() method starts
mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(
new LatLng(mLastKnownLocation.getLatitude(),
mLastKnownLocation.getLongitude()), DEFAULT_ZOOM));
marker = mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
.position(new LatLng(mLastKnownLocation.getLatitude(), mLastKnownLocation.getLongitude()))
.anchor(0.5f, 0.5f)
.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(R.drawable.location_icon))
);
//showMap() method ends
latlang.Lat = mLastKnownLocation.getLatitude();
latlang.Lang = mLastKnownLocation.getLongitude();
} else {
...}
I was trying to separate the location from the map part using another method as:
/*
Attempt to seperate location and map
*/
private void showMap(){
if(MAP_LOCATION_SOURCE == 1){
getDeviceLocation();
}
if (SET_LOCATION_STATUS ==1 ) {
mMap.clear();
Log.v("Location Available??????????", Double.toString(latlang.Lat));
mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(
new LatLng(latlang.Lat, latlang.Lang), DEFAULT_ZOOM));
marker = mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
.position(new LatLng(latlang.Lat, latlang.Lang))
.anchor(0.5f, 0.5f)
.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(R.drawable.location_icon))
);
}
}
They are called/used as:
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setHasOptionsMenu(true);
// Retrieve location and camera position from saved instance state.
if (savedInstanceState != null) {
mLastKnownLocation = savedInstanceState.getParcelable(KEY_LOCATION);
mCameraPosition = savedInstanceState.getParcelable(KEY_CAMERA_POSITION);
SET_LOCATION_STATUS = 1;
}
}
#Nullable
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_second, null, false);
onSaveInstanceState(new Bundle());
// Construct a FusedLocationProviderClient.
mFusedLocationProviderClient = LocationServices.getFusedLocationProviderClient(getContext());
getLocationPermission();
getDeviceLocation();
// showMap();
#Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap map) {
mMap = map;
getLocationPermission();
updateLocationUI();
getDeviceLocation();
// showMap();
This is working without any error, but doesn't take the location/camera position from Bundle as in the case when map is inside the getDeviceLocation. When I use start using the app, the location and map get updated.
How I can separate the location and map properly then?

In Google Maps, why is OnLocationChanged() not called again, when the app is maximized from its minimized state?

I am developing an Android Application. In that I integrated Google Maps in a Fragment .
My Problem
In the Map , in normal running state , OnLocationChanged function called by LocationListener and my Map Marker is moving correctly.
But , if I minimizes the app and after I maximize it , the marker is not moving . I checked and found , the OnLocationChanged not get called after Maximizing the App.
So I put some Log.D commends in the onLocationChanged and reran it.
Until minimizing the App , The Log commends exectuted on each and every location changed. But After I minimized and maximized the App , The Log printing stoped and marker stopped moving.
My Efforts to Resolve
I tried implementing OnResume method in Fragment but it not called.
So I searched the internet. Based on the suggestions I recreated the Fragment on the onResume method of the parent Activity of the Fragment.
After that , the the tracking worked even after resuming. But I fell in to an another problem.
When the Fragment get Recreated in the onResume() of the parent Activity , the Map loading the from the beginning. That is the Map showing Whole world map..... then slowly it goes to current location and the old markers cleared and new markers draw again. After that marker start moving.
So that process takes long time.
Now I can't move further. Since I am new to Google Maps I can't fix it..

In the above program, the onResume() ,method recreates the Map since
the Fragment recreated. So the Map takes time to load.
Final Words
Please Help me to enable Tracking location continuously even after maximizing the App

if ( mGoogleApiClient!=null && mLocationRequest!=null )
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, mLocationRequest, this);
add this code in onResume() method of MapActivity.

Google maps v2 not initializing in fragment

I want to show my current location using Google maps v2 from a fragment however the Google maps is not initializing on start up. When i run the application, it is nor crashing but the map is not showing my current location neither is it displaying anything. I have used this code on my activity and it is fully functional.

first of all Chaeck permission in manifest
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
then check method for current location
private GoogleMap.OnMyLocationChangeListener myLocationChangeListener = new GoogleMap.OnMyLocationChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onMyLocationChange(Location location) {
LatLng loc = new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());
marker = map.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(loc));
if(map != null){
map.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(loc, 16.0f));
}
}
};
then use
mMap.setOnMyLocationChangeListener(myLocationChangeListener);
and be patience map take laoding time depend on you network speed
comment if any query

First check your permissions and your google api key in your manifest
Your xml layout must be something like this without any thing else:
. <fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:map="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/map"
android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context="com.isg_biz.isg_tracking.MainActivity" />
You have to implement OnMapReadyCallback, then
your code should be something like this in onCreate() :
SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
.findFragmentById(R.id.map);
mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
Do not to copy and past the same xml code literally you have to change (tools : .....) to same that exist in your xml
for documentation, java code & more Please read :
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-api/map-with-marker

i try to get it from this function:
#Override

myLatitude=location.getLatitude();
myLongitude=location.getLongitude();
}
i can't get myLatitude and myLongitude location , why?
any help would be grateful.

You are not calling
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(
mGoogleApiClient, mLocationRequest, this)
You are only calling
googleMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
This don't request for location updates... just set a pin on your position on the map.
Check here to see how to request current location:

the strange thing is that the onConnect() method is called but after that the Location is always null and onLocationChanged() is never called
using the maps, i tried the enabling my location and it works when you have the button on the right top corner it returns the location and animates the camera.
UPDATE 1
updated the onConnected() method and made it request locations updates,
public void onConnected(Bundle bundle) {
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, mLocationRequest, locationListener);
if (location!=null){
Log.d(TAG,location.toString());
CameraUpdate update = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(new LatLng(location.getLatitude(),location.getLongitude()),3f);
map.animateCamera(update);
}
Log.d(TAG,"connected");}
then with a button i call lastKnownLocation() since the onLocationChanged() is not called still, and still the returned Location is null
UPDATE 2 :
The very same code worked on Android 5.0.1 and worked perfectly
all the other devices was on android 2.3.7,4.0.1 none of them worked,
Any idea about what difference in the Android APIs regarding the location?

You need to call requestLocationUpdates() in order to register the listener and have onLocationChanged() invoked.
Be sure to un-register the listener as soon as possible to avoid excessive battery drain.
Also note that the getLastLocation() method can and will return null. The main problem is that it doesn't prompt a request to the OS for a new location lock, instead it just checks if there was a last known location from some other app's location request. If no other app had recently made a location request, then you get a null location returned to you.
The only way to guarantee that you actually get a location is to request one, and this is done with a call to requestLocationUpdates().
Here is a working example for reference:
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();
buildGoogleApiClient();
mGoogleApiClient.connect();
if (map == null) {
SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
.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) {
Toast.makeText(this,"onConnectionSuspended",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#Override
public void onConnectionFailed(ConnectionResult connectionResult) {
Toast.makeText(this,"onConnectionFailed",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#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));
}
}
One more thing, if your map is in a Fragment, there is no need to have a nested SupportMapFragment. You can just have your Fragment extend SupportMapFragment. This removes the need of having a nested Fragment, and you don't even need to inflate any layout xml, here is a simple example:
public class MapTabFragment extends SupportMapFragment
implements OnMapReadyCallback {
private GoogleMap mMap;
private Marker marker;
public MapTabFragment() {
}
#Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
setUpMapIfNeeded();
}
private void setUpMapIfNeeded() {
if (mMap == null) {
getMapAsync(this);
}
}
#Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
mMap = googleMap;
setUpMap();
}
private void setUpMap() {
mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
mMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_HYBRID);
mMap.getUiSettings().setMapToolbarEnabled(false);
mMap.setOnMapClickListener(new GoogleMap.OnMapClickListener() {
#Override
public void onMapClick(LatLng point) {
//remove previously placed Marker
if (marker != null) {
marker.remove();
}
//place marker where user just clicked
marker = mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(point).title("Marker")
.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_MAGENTA)));
}
});
}
}
