I've developed a simple weather app, but there is too much code in my WeatherActivity and two responsibilities for one class(handling weather JSON, and retrieving location info using googleapiclient). I tried to get the code that handles location out of the WeatherActivity class, but as I try to get any location in the onCreate method, it usually results in null, probably because it's not enough time to be updated. Is there any way to get users location outside of the activity? Or if you have another suggestion that might help in that situation?
I have been looking for a solution to have an object to handle the current location but I didn't find anything.
So I did it this way but it's a little bit tricky.
Hope it helps you.

I have an android service and I'd like to do the following:
When clicking a button, I start this service, the toast in the onCreate() method always appears but after that I cannot see the longitude-latitude popping up. My main goal is to use this longitude-latitude couple in more activities.
How can I achieve this?
I implemented GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks, GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener, com.google.android.gms.location .LocationListener because I had to wait 20-30 seconds to get the coordinates. The following code works in an activity, but not as a service.
Thanks!

It is because you are working on Service.
Try this:
Handler handler = new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper());
handler.post(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
getString(R.string.string_id),
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
Any UI component can't be accessed from background thread.
If need be arise use handler and sen msg to UI thread and update UI components.
I'm new to android and i'm trying to develop an android application which includes tracking the user location details and showing it on a google map and the location should be updated in the map whenever it is changed. I'm unable to understand how to get this through google maps v2. They mentioned to change dependencies but i'm unable to find where to do that can anyone explain the usage of this with a simple example i tried to implement the steps given in below link but i'm unable to find project properties to edit
https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=19nQzvKP-CVLd7_VrpwnHfl-AE9fjbJySowONZZtNHzw
If you want to show location of user on map when the change their location you need to take, Location API and Google Map API,
here is dependency link put in your app level gradel,
dependencies {
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:10.0.1'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:10.0.1'
}
Then after you need to start location service for update location on map also you need to initialise your map,
Here i consider You initialised your map show I am just showing how to use location api,

The reason why you are not getting the location updated in textview is because your code doesn't have a way for the service to communicate back to the activity.
If you want to obtain location only when the activity is in foreground don't use Service and please look into this google's example for obtaining location and updating on a TextView using fused location provider.
I am not sure why you are using a Service.Use Service only when you want to continuously fetch the location even when the app is running background.
For this use any one of the method mentioned here to inform the activity that a new location has been obtained.LocalBroadcast would be your best bet. Anyway explore the best possible solution that suits your usecase in the previous link.
I'm tryin for a couple of days to retrieve user's location but no succes.
The textview is not updating.
I've tried debugging but the location isn't received.

What to do ?
Mention that GPS is enabled on device and also from settings.
The device is connected to wi-fi.
Google Play Services are enabled.
I don't realise why this does not work.
I heard that is a package named smart-location. Is better that my code ?
Just delete this two lines of code in onCreate():
TextView t;
t = new TextView( this );

I think the problem can occur with any library you can find that use com.google.android.gms.
If you have references to com.google.android.gms in android/app/build.gradle.
Try giving the associated library a new version that you currently have installed.
I found the version number of the library I am using by navigating to [YOUR_ANDROID_SDK]/extras/google/m2repository/com/google/android/gms
Then find the library that might be causing you problems for example play-services-auth.
In there you will see all the versions. Apply the newest to your build.gradle.
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:10.2.1'
Also add (It seems gcm is needed in GoogleApiClient Builder)
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:10.2.1'
