Android Maps SDK not getting current location

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_FINE_LOCATION" />
<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 need AppCompatActivity but the MapTabActivity extends already SupportMapFragment

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();

how to find current location and show it on map onLocationChanged?

Android app crashing with FusedLocationProvider

I am trying to make an app that can track the GPS location of my bike. To start off, I've been trying to read the GPS location of my own phone. My app keeps crashing whenever I try to launch the fragment below. I have put in a Google API key for the App and placed the line " " in my manifest file. What are some good ways to debug this issue? I am new to Android Studio so I would love to hear any sort of feedback.

You need to use GoogleApiClient for FusedLocationApi.Here is a working code
protected synchronized void buildGoogleApiClient() {
mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
.addConnectionCallbacks(this)
.addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
.addApi(LocationServices.API)
.build();}
return;
}
Call buildGoogleApiClient method on onCreate().And implement required interfaces. GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks, GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener,
LocationListener
#Override
public void onConnected(#Nullable Bundle bundle) {
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) {
// TODO: Consider calling

// int[] grantResults)
// to handle the case where the user grants the permission. See the documentation
// for ActivityCompat#requestPermissions for more details.
return;
}
Location mLastLocation = LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation(
mGoogleApiClient);
if (mLastLocation != null) {
//place marker at current position
// Log.e("x", mLastLocation.getLongitude() + "");
//Log.e("y", mLastLocation.getLatitude() + "");
currentLocation = mLastLocation;
}
LocationRequest mLocationRequest = new LocationRequest();
mLocationRequest.setInterval(5000); //5 seconds
mLocationRequest.setFastestInterval(5000); //3 seconds
mLocationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_BALANCED_POWER_ACCURACY);
mLocationRequest.setSmallestDisplacement(50F); //1/10 meter
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, mLocationRequest, this);
}
#Override
public void onConnectionSuspended(int i) {
}
#Override
public void onConnectionFailed(#NonNull ConnectionResult connectionResult) {
}
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
currentLocation = location;
}
And define this parameters
private GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;
private Location currentLocation;
Btw if you are using Android 6.x or 7.x version. You need to grant permission at runtime.Check here

#FnR you're talking about the old version of the fusedlocationapi, a new one came out with the version 11 of the playservices, it's supposed to be much simpler, look here : https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2017/06/reduce-friction-with-new-location-apis.html
I got the same issue there seems to be a conflict between the new fusedlocationapi and the map activities.
I'm able to get my current location with this new technique in an empty activity with no map but the exact same code used in a map activity returns a null result.
Google didn't even provide any example of this with a map, which is crazy since getting the location is 99% of the time coupled with a map

checkPermission error while using PermisionDispatcher

This is my first post in stackoverflow so please dont hate me if I say something wrong!
I am trying to adapt this tutorial https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-api/current-place-tutorial to work on my fragment and with PermisionDispatcher. However, I am getting checkPermision error and I dont understand why.
I have checked this answer trying to add marshmallow permissions using "Permissions Dispatcher" however, I still cant get that right..
This is my fragment code:

}
EDIT
So I have made some changes as you have suggested and I don't longer get the error in
SetMyLocationEnabled(true)
(even though I sometimes get it if I move it around in the method)
now I have advanced a bit in the tutorial and I have same problems.. Now I get an error in
mLastKnownLocation = LocationServices.FusedLocationApi
.getLastLocation(mGoogleApiClient);
and dont really know what do to. The code compiles, but running it on emulator just zooms in on default location and running it on my phone the app crashes
EDIT
Runned it on my phone and found an exception in stacktrace (the app didn't crash this time but showed only world map, without any sign of my location or zooming onto the default location)

Thank you or helping me..

The app is getting the map asynchronously, so even though it is asking permission right after calling mf.getMapAsync(this), the app could load the map and can call onMapReady, which calls mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true) through your method, before the user has a chance to allow the permission. I would suggest the following:
#Override
public void onMapReady(final GoogleMap map) {
mMap = map;
//Now that you have the map, request permission here.
getPermisions();
}
This is how you should handle this, since you only request the location once the map is loaded.
