[android] how to get current location in google map android

Actually my problem is I am not getting current location latitude and longitude I tried so many ways.I know that this question already asked in SO I tried that answers also still I didn't get answer.Please help me Code:

    if (googleMap == null) {
        googleMap = ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(
                R.id.map)).getMap();

        // check if map is created successfully or not
        if (googleMap == null) {
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                    "Sorry! unable to create maps", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
                    .show();
        }
    }
    googleMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
    Location myLocation = googleMap.getMyLocation();  //Nullpointer exception.........
    LatLng myLatLng = new LatLng(myLocation.getLatitude(),
            myLocation.getLongitude());

    CameraPosition myPosition = new CameraPosition.Builder()
            .target(myLatLng).zoom(17).bearing(90).tilt(30).build();
    googleMap.animateCamera(
        CameraUpdateFactory.newCameraPosition(myPosition));

  1. Select google map activity

    enter image description here

  2. you need a Google Maps API key.

    To get one, follow this link, follow the directions and press "Create" at the end: https://console.developers.google.com/flows/enableapi?apiid=maps_android_backend&keyType=CLIENT_SIDE_ANDROID&r=48:C7:A8:5B:31:4F:78:F2:38:41:97:F4:70:C3:A0:EB:6A:73:28:88%3Bcom.example.myapplication

  1. Make sure these permission are written in Manifest file

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />

    enter image description here

  2. Add following dependencies

    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:17.0.0'

    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:17.0.0'

    enter image description here


public void getMyLocation() {
        // create class object
        gps = new GPSTracker(HomeActivity.this);
        // check if GPS enabled
        if (gps.canGetLocation()) {
            latitude = gps.getLatitude();
            longitude = gps.getLongitude();
            Geocoder geocoder;
            List<Address> addresses;
            geocoder = new Geocoder(this, Locale.getDefault());
            try {
                addresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(latitude, longitude, 1);
                postalCode = addresses.get(0).getPostalCode();
                city = addresses.get(0).getLocality();
                address = addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(0);
                state = addresses.get(0).getAdminArea();
                country = addresses.get(0).getCountryName();
                knownName = addresses.get(0).getFeatureName();
                Log.e("Location",postalCode+" "+city+" "+address+" "+state+" "+knownName);

            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        } else {
            gps.showSettingsAlert();
        }
    }

Add the permissions to the app manifest

Add one of the following permissions as a child of the element in your Android manifest. Either the coarse location permission:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.myapp" >
  ...
  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
  ...
</manifest>

Or the fine location permission:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.myapp" >
  ...
  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
  ...
</manifest>

The following code sample checks for permission using the Support library before enabling the My Location layer:

if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)
                == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
    mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
} else {
    // Show rationale and request permission.
}
The following sample handles the result of the permission request by implementing the ActivityCompat.OnRequestPermissionsResultCallback from the Support library:

@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions, int[] grantResults) {
    if (requestCode == MY_LOCATION_REQUEST_CODE) {
      if (permissions.length == 1 &&
          permissions[0] == Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION &&
          grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
        mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
    } else {
      // Permission was denied. Display an error message.
    }
}

This example provides current location update using GPS provider. Entire Android app code is as follows,

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.location.Location;
import android.location.LocationListener;
import android.location.LocationManager;
import android.widget.TextView;

import android.util.Log;

public class MainActivity extends Activity implements LocationListener{
protected LocationManager locationManager;
protected LocationListener locationListener;
protected Context context;
TextView txtLat;
String lat;
String provider;
protected String latitude,longitude; 
protected boolean gps_enabled,network_enabled;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
txtLat = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textview1);

locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0, this);
}
@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
txtLat = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textview1);
txtLat.setText("Latitude:" + location.getLatitude() + ", Longitude:" + location.getLongitude());
}

@Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
Log.d("Latitude","disable");
}

@Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
Log.d("Latitude","enable");
}

@Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
Log.d("Latitude","status");

All solution mentioned above using that code which are deprecated now!Here is the new solution

  1. Add implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-places:15.0.1' dependency in your gradle file

  2. Add network permission in your manifest file:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />

  1. Now use this code to get current location

      FusedLocationProviderClient mFusedLocationClient = LocationServices.getFusedLocationProviderClient(this);
    
      mFusedLocationClient.getLastLocation().addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<Location>() {
                    @Override
                    public void onSuccess(Location location) {
                        // GPS location can be null if GPS is switched off
                            currentLat = location.getLatitude();
                            currentLong = location.getLongitude();
                            Toast.makeText(HomeNavigationBarActivtiy.this, "lat " + location.getLatitude() + "\nlong " + location.getLongitude(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                    }
                })
                .addOnFailureListener(new OnFailureListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onFailure(@NonNull Exception e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }
                });
    

Location locaton;

private GoogleMap mMap;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_maps);
    // 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;
    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;
    }

    mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);

    mMap.setOnMyLocationChangeListener(new GoogleMap.OnMyLocationChangeListener() {
        @Override
        public void onMyLocationChange(Location location) {

            CameraUpdate center = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude()));
            CameraUpdate zoom = CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(11);
            mMap.clear();

            MarkerOptions mp = new MarkerOptions();

            mp.position(new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude()));

            mp.title("my position");

            mMap.addMarker(mp);
            mMap.moveCamera(center);
            mMap.animateCamera(zoom);

        }
    });}}

This Code in MapsActivity Class works for me :

public class MapsActivity extends FragmentActivity implements OnMapReadyCallback {

private GoogleMap mMap;
LocationManager locationManager;
LocationListener locationListener;

public void centreMapOnLocation(Location location, String title){

    LatLng userLocation = new LatLng(location.getLatitude(),location.getLongitude());
    mMap.clear();
    mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(userLocation).title(title));
    mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(userLocation,12));

}

@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, @NonNull String[] permissions, @NonNull int[] grantResults) {
    super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);

    if (grantResults.length>0 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED){

        if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED){
            locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,0,0,locationListener);

            Location lastKnownLocation = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
            centreMapOnLocation(lastKnownLocation,"Your Location");
        }
    }
}

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_maps2);
    // 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;

    Intent intent = getIntent();
    if (intent.getIntExtra("Place Number",0) == 0 ){

        // Zoom into users location
        locationManager = (LocationManager)this.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
        locationListener = new LocationListener() {
            @Override
            public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
                centreMapOnLocation(location,"Your Location");
            }

            @Override
            public void onStatusChanged(String s, int i, Bundle bundle) {

            }

            @Override
            public void onProviderEnabled(String s) {

            }

            @Override
            public void onProviderDisabled(String s) {

            }
        };

        if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED){
            locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,0,0,locationListener);
                Location lastKnownLocation = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
                centreMapOnLocation(lastKnownLocation,"Your Location");
        } else {

            ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this,new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION},1);
        }
    }


}


}

Simple steps to get current location on google map:

1 - create map activity so in onMap ready method you create LocationManager and LocationListener

2 - in onMap ready also you check for android version and user permission ==> if there is a permission give location update OR ask the user for permission

3 - in the main class check for result of permission (onRequestPermissionsResult) ==> if the condition is true so give location update

4 - in (onLocationChanged) method we create LatLng variable and get the coordinates from location then from mMap we (addMarker and moveCamera) for that variable we've just created, this gives us location when the user moves so we still need to create new LatLng in onMap ready to have user's location when the App starts ==>inside condition if there is permission (lastKnownLocation).

NOTE:

1) Do Not forget to ask for permissions (Location and Internet) in Manifest

2) Do Not forget to have Map key from google APIs

3) We used (mMap.clear) to avoid repeating the marker each time we (run the app or update location)

Coding Part:

public class MapsActivity extends FragmentActivity implements OnMapReadyCallback {

    private GoogleMap mMap;
    LocationManager locationManager;
    LocationListener locationListener;

    @Override
    public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, @NonNull String[] permissions, @NonNull int[] grantResults) {
        super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);

        if (grantResults.length > 0 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0, locationListener);
            }
        }
    }

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_maps);
        SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
                .findFragmentById(R.id.map);
        mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);


    }

    @SuppressLint("MissingPermission")
    @Override
    public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
        mMap = googleMap;

        locationManager  = (LocationManager) this.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);

        locationListener = new LocationListener() {
            @Override
            public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {

                mMap.clear();

                LatLng userLocation = new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());

                mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(userLocation).title("Marker"));

                mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(userLocation));

                Toast.makeText(MapsActivity.this, userLocation.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }

            @Override
            public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {


            }

            @Override
            public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {

            }

            @Override
            public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {

            }


        };

        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 23 ){

            locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0, locationListener);

        }else if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {

            locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0, locationListener);

            Location lastKnownLocation = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);

            LatLng userLocation = new LatLng(lastKnownLocation.getLatitude(), lastKnownLocation.getLongitude());

            mMap.clear();

            mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(userLocation).title("Marker"));

            mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(userLocation));

            Toast.makeText(MapsActivity.this, userLocation.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();


        } else {

            ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION}, 1);

        }


    }


    }
}

If you don't need to retrieve the user's location every time it changes (I have no idea why nearly every solution does that by using a location listener), it's just wasteful to do so. The asker was clearly interested in retrieving the location just once. Now FusedLocationApi is deprecated, so as a replacement for @Andrey's post, you can do:


    LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) this.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
    String locationProvider = LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER;
    // I suppressed the missing-permission warning because this wouldn't be executed in my 
    // case without location services being enabled
    @SuppressLint("MissingPermission") android.location.Location lastKnownLocation = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(locationProvider);
    double userLat = lastKnownLocation.getLatitude();
    double userLong = lastKnownLocation.getLongitude();

This just puts together some scattered information in the docs, this being the most important source.


Why not to use FusedLocationApi instead of OnMyLocationChangeListener? You need to initialize GoogleApiClient object and use LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates() method to register location change listener. It is important to note, that don't forget to remove the registered listener and disconnect GoogleApiClient.

private LocationRequest  mLocationRequest;
private GoogleApiClient  mGoogleApiClient;
private LocationListener mLocationListener;

private void initGoogleApiClient(Context context)
{
    mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(context).addApi(LocationServices.API).addConnectionCallbacks(new GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks()
    {
        @Override
        public void onConnected(Bundle bundle)
        {
            mLocationRequest = LocationRequest.create();
            mLocationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
            mLocationRequest.setInterval(1000);

            setLocationListener();
        }

        @Override
        public void onConnectionSuspended(int i)
        {
            Log.i("LOG_TAG", "onConnectionSuspended");
        }
    }).build();

    if (mGoogleApiClient != null)
        mGoogleApiClient.connect();

}

private void setLocationListener()
{
    mLocationListener = new LocationListener()
    {
        @Override
        public void onLocationChanged(Location location)
        {
            String lat = String.valueOf(location.getLatitude());
            String lon = String.valueOf(location.getLongitude());
            Log.i("LOG_TAG", "Latitude = " + lat + " Longitude = " + lon);
        }
    };

    LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, mLocationRequest, mLocationListener);
}

private void removeLocationListener()
{
    LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.removeLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, mLocationListener);
}

                    }

    }

I think that better way now is:

Location currentLocation = LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation(googleApiClient);

Documentation. Getting the Last Known Location


FusedLocationApi has been Deprecated (Why Google always deprecated everything!)

location: retrieve-current

Here is the way to get it now:

private lateinit var fusedLocationClient: FusedLocationProviderClient

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    // ...

    fusedLocationClient = LocationServices.getFusedLocationProviderClient(this)
}

//check this condition if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 23 ) 

In some android studio it does not work while Whole code is working, so replace this line by this:

if(android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) 

& my project is working fine.


public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity implements
    ConnectionCallbacks, OnConnectionFailedListener {
...
@Override
public void onConnected(Bundle connectionHint) {
    mLastLocation = LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation(
            mGoogleApiClient);
    if (mLastLocation != null) {
        mLatitudeText.setText(String.valueOf(mLastLocation.getLatitude()));
        mLongitudeText.setText(String.valueOf(mLastLocation.getLongitude()));
    }
}
}

Your current location might not be available immediately, after the map fragment is initialized.

After set

googleMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);

you have to wait until you see the blue dot shown on your MapView. Then

Location myLocation = googleMap.getMyLocation();

myLocation won't be null.

I think you better use the LocationClient instead, and implement your own LocationListener.onLocationChanged(Location l)

Receiving Location Updates will show you how to get current location from LocationClient
