How to use latitude and longitude retrieved from a service and show them on map?

I have defined a service (i.e. LocationService ) which gives me users's current latitude and longitude as an intent extras to my_activity. Now , I want to use them to show current location on map (using Google maps) . I passed these latlng in mMap.animateCamera and mMap.moveCamera methods but they are not showing any Marker or zoom in to the current location . Please tell me if I am doing anything wrong .
Code for the LocationService and my MainActivity is pasted below :

Feel free to ask any queries in case you don't understand my problem and tell me the correct approach to solve my problem . I am new to android app development.

in onMapReady() please create a new LatLng position and add it in as MarkerOption
#Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
.......
.......
// make sure you are getting your latitude and longitude string value
mlattitude = Double.parseDouble(intent.getStringExtra(LocationServicesForLocationUpdates.EXTRA_LATITUDE));
mlongitude = Double.parseDouble(intent.getStringExtra(LocationServicesForLocationUpdates.EXTRA_LONGITUDE));
CameraPosition cameraPosition = new CameraPosition.Builder()
.target(new LatLng(mLattitude,mlongitude)) // My position
.zoom(14) // Zoom Level
.bearing(0) // camera position, (0 north , 180 south )
.tilt(90) // Inclinaison de la camera
.build();
googleMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newCameraPosition(cameraPosition));
LatLng position = new LatLng(mlattitude,mlongitude);
googleMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(position)
.title("my marker"));
}
edit
Do not forget to call getMapAsync in your onReceive() method
LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).registerReceiver(
new BroadcastReceiver() {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
mlattitude = Double.parseDouble(intent.getStringExtra(LocationServicesForLocationUpdates.EXTRA_LATITUDE));
mlongitude = Double.parseDouble(intent.getStringExtra(LocationServicesForLocationUpdates.EXTRA_LONGITUDE));
SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
.findFragmentById(R.id.main_map);
mapFragment.getMapAsync(MainActivity.this);
Log.d("latlng", "onReceive: " + mlongitude + mlattitude);
if (mlattitude != null && mlongitude != null) {
mLatlngTxtVu.setText("Latitude : " + mlattitude + "Longitude: " + mlongitude);
}
}
}, new IntentFilter(LocationServicesForLocationUpdates.ACTION_LOCATION_BROADCAST)
);
);

You can do like that :
public class MapsMarkerActivity extends AppCompatActivity
implements OnMapReadyCallback {
// Include the OnCreate() method here too, as described above.
#Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
// Add a marker in Sydney, Australia,
// and move the map's camera to the same location.
LatLng sydney = new LatLng(-33.852, 151.211);
googleMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(sydney)
.title("Marker in Sydney"));
googleMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(sydney));
}
}
The code is from the Google documentation page

google map in fragment not moving to current location using fused location api

i want to display current location on map, my map is in fragment and i'm using fused location provider in non activity class, but i'm not getting current location when the map is loaded, it is giving me current location only if i press mylocation button, but i want that when map is loaded it should show my current location not the world map.

I use locationRequest.setInterval (60000); for refreshing my location but it is still not refreshing. What should I do more to get the current Latitude and Longitude every after 10 mins. I just wanted to get the log of lat long every after 10 mins.

How to create a class to get latitude and longitude of user, using Google API - Android

I'm developing an Android app, and I need to get latitude and longitude of the user.
I googled and found that Google API is the best for this, and I found a tutorial on this link: http://www.androidhive.info/2015/02/android-location-api-using-google-play-services/
How I don't need location updates (just click in a button, and get the location), I just copied this piece of code from tutorial:
public class MainActivity1 extends Activity implements ConnectionCallbacks,
OnConnectionFailedListener {
private Location mLastLocation;
// Google client to interact with Google API
private GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;
// UI elements
private TextView lblLocation;
private Button btnShowLocation, btnStartLocationUpdates;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
lblLocation = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.lblLocation);
btnShowLocation = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnShowLocation);
btnStartLocationUpdates = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnLocationUpdates);
// First we need to check availability of play services
if (checkPlayServices()) {
// Building the GoogleApi client
buildGoogleApiClient();
}
// Show location button click listener
btnShowLocation.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
displayLocation();
}
});
}
/**
* Method to display the location on UI
* */
private void displayLocation() {
mLastLocation = LocationServices.FusedLocationApi
.getLastLocation(mGoogleApiClient);
if (mLastLocation != null) {
double latitude = mLastLocation.getLatitude();
double longitude = mLastLocation.getLongitude();
lblLocation.setText(latitude + ", " + longitude);
} else {
lblLocation
.setText("(Couldn't get the location. Make sure location is enabled on the device)");
}
}
/**
* Creating google api client object
* */
protected synchronized void buildGoogleApiClient() {
mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
.addConnectionCallbacks(this)
.addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
.addApi(LocationServices.API).build();
}
/**
* Method to verify google play services on the device
* */
private boolean checkPlayServices() {
int resultCode = GooglePlayServicesUtil
.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(this);
if (resultCode != ConnectionResult.SUCCESS) {
if (GooglePlayServicesUtil.isUserRecoverableError(resultCode)) {
GooglePlayServicesUtil.getErrorDialog(resultCode, this,
PLAY_SERVICES_RESOLUTION_REQUEST).show();
} else {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"This device is not supported.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
.show();
finish();
}
return false;
}
return true;
}
#Override
protected void onStart() {
super.onStart();
if (mGoogleApiClient != null) {
mGoogleApiClient.connect();
}
}
#Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
checkPlayServices();
}
/**
* Google api callback methods
*/
#Override
public void onConnectionFailed(ConnectionResult result) {
Log.i(TAG, "Connection failed: ConnectionResult.getErrorCode() = "
+ result.getErrorCode());
}
#Override
public void onConnected(Bundle arg0) {
// Once connected with google api, get the location
displayLocation();
}
#Override
public void onConnectionSuspended(int arg0) {
mGoogleApiClient.connect();
}
}
and it worked!!!
But I want to create a method (in another class) that get the current location and return it (instead of doing this inside activity).
So, I modified what I did above, and finished with the following:
public class UserLocation implements ConnectionCallbacks, OnConnectionFailedListener {
private Location mLastLocation;
// Google client to interact with Google API
private GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;
public HashMap<String, Double> getUserLocation(Activity act) {
HashMap<String, Double> getLocation = new HashMap<>();
if (checkPlayServices(act)) {
buildGoogleApiClient(act);
}
mLastLocation = LocationServices.FusedLocationApi
.getLastLocation(mGoogleApiClient);
if (mLastLocation != null) {
double latitude = mLastLocation.getLatitude();
double longitude = mLastLocation.getLongitude();
getLocation.put("latitude", latitude);
getLocation.put("longitude", longitude);
return getLocation;
} else {
Log.i("FAIL: ", "(Couldn't get the location. Make sure location is enabled on the device)");
return null;
}
}
/**
* Creating google api client object
*/
protected synchronized void buildGoogleApiClient(Activity act) {
mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(act)
.addConnectionCallbacks(this)
.addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
.addApi(LocationServices.API).build();
}
/**
* Method to verify google play services on the device
*/
private boolean checkPlayServices(Activity act) {
int resultCode = GooglePlayServicesUtil
.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(act);
if (resultCode != ConnectionResult.SUCCESS) {
return false;
}
return true;
}
/**
* Google api callback methods
*/
#Override
public void onConnectionFailed(ConnectionResult result) {
Log.i("Fail: ", "Connection failed: ConnectionResult.getErrorCode() = "
+ result.getErrorCode());
}
#Override
public void onConnected(Bundle arg0) {
}
#Override
public void onConnectionSuspended(int arg0) {
mGoogleApiClient.connect();
}
}
And I call it from the main Activity this way:
HashMap<String, Double> userLoc = ul.getUserLocation(this);
ul.getUserLocation(getActivity());
But with this new class, I don't get the location... I debuged, and saw that mLastLocation is always null...
Can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong?

In the activity you get last location after Google API client connected and it is right. In UserLocation class you are trying to get location before connection established and it is wrong.
From the docs:
If not connected null will be returned.
You need to move getting location in onConnected() method and somehow notify the activity. You can create callback for it or simply let the activity implement ConnectionCallbacks instead of UserLocation.

Email address google maps app in a message to the mobile phone?

I am creating an app in android -studio , and I have a problem .
The app contains the Google Maps which shows us our location , but what really would make was that the push of a button , our location was sent by sms to a number of mobile phone , it will be possible ?

I created a demo app and it can:
Show your current location on the map as a marker.
Have a button. When you click it, it will create a SMS massage that you can send
your location via SMS.
Sample code:
public class MapsActivity extends FragmentActivity implements
GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks,
GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener,
LocationListener,
ResultCallback<LocationSettingsResult>,
View.OnClickListener {

private GoogleMap mMap; // Might be null if Google Play services APK is not available.
private GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;
private LocationRequest mLocationRequest;
private LocationSettingsRequest mLocationSettingsRequest;
private Button btn_send_location;
private double mCurrentLatitude;
private double mCurrentLongitude;
#Override
