I'm using google map in a project, where I want to get my current location which is not working correctly,
MyActivity.java code:
LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
boolean enabled = locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
if (enabled) {
Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
String bestProvider = locationManager.getBestProvider(criteria, true);
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// TODO: Consider calling
// ActivityCompat#requestPermissions
// here to request the missing permissions, and then overriding
// public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions,
// int[] grantResults)
// to handle the case where the user grants the permission. See the documentation
// for ActivityCompat#requestPermissions for more details.
return;
}
Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(bestProvider);
if (location != null) {
lat = location.getLatitude();
lng = location.getLongitude();
return;
}
}
but it returns null every time, first i want know what's the problem and what's the best way to get my current location?
AndroidManifest.xml code
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
android:value="@string/google_maps_key" />
Use this Google Map API v2 Method
private void getCurrentLocation() {
// Do a null check to confirm that we have not already instantiated the map.
if (mMap == null) {
// Try to obtain the map from the SupportMapFragment.
mMap = ((SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map))
.getMap();
mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
// Check if we were successful in obtaining the map.
if (mMap != null) {
mMap.setOnMyLocationChangeListener(new GoogleMap.OnMyLocationChangeListener() {
@Override
public void onMyLocationChange(Location arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(new LatLng(arg0.getLatitude(), arg0.getLongitude())).title("It's Me!"));
}
});
}
}
}
