Get Device Location - [Android Google Maps Course]

[@shahzebmushtaq1297]

best android developer ever . Big fan... keep it up bro

[@cforge2411]

i finished it just now, and YOU LITERALLY DE-MYSTIFIED the maps. thanks a lot Mitch

[@JasonPurkiss]

I felt sorry for you with your previous video comment of having a broken keybored so have purchased your SQLlite course to help you in these hard times :)

[@JasonPurkiss]

Interestingly the cost of your video's converted to English pounds comes to the price of a beer here in London, so enjoy :)

[@codingwithmitch]

hahaha I just saw this now. Thanks Jason.

[@tomislavemilov2247]

So for the ones that say that they don't get location. This is happening, bacause in this video is used getLastLocation and that's the point of the fusedLocationClient, to use last known location, but in case that the divece is new or was restored to factory reset or there was not call for location from other app it will produce null. So just make a call to get the location and it will work. Great video btw :)

[@aymanatef3014]

i used locationManager and work fine too private void getLocalDevice() { LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE); try { moveCamera(locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER), DEFAULT_CAMRA_ZOOM, "my place"); } catch (SecurityException e) { Log.d(TAG, "getLocalDevice: " + e.getMessage()); } }

You are Hero!!!!!! Explanation is brilliant!! Keep going.

[@udgardixit614]

Hey how do i ask for the user to turn on device location like the one Google Maps asks when you open it up and haven't turned on your device location..."To continue, turn on device location, which uses Google's location service."

[@mimrankhan9974]

its so simple but i dont know why you make it so difficult you are good programmer

[@codingwithmitch]

what lol

[@gabrielalmeida1386]

we have a problem, the Play Store is asking for versions with the API 27+, but when I put it to compile for this API the code: "mMap.setMyLocation (true)" causes the application to crash. how to solve?

[@hoseaochieng5355]

You are such a gem! This is incredibly resourceful to me, gracias!

[@cforge2411]

just wow man thanks. if anyone haad any troubles, now dependencies are added in modules so //Play Services //Maps implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:15.0.1' //Play Services //Location implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:15.0.1'

[@stonks9755]

after i added all the additional methods in this tutorial, the map doesnt even show, but the notification "Map is ready" appears. Is there a file that im missing? Or does it have anything to do with the Google API key?

[@OneSpikedDrink]

Please tell me you found the fix. I have the same issue

[@MuhammadBilal-ry5rb]

"FusedLocationProviderClient" is not import so how i can import this library and i also add all dependencies in build.gradle as well but i can't find any solution.

[@barry007h]

Same here, Documentation doesnt help either

[@ვაკოვარდიშვილი]

add dependency in build.gradle folder implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:15.0.1'

[@k3nyon]

Hey man, where is the new videos? Don't stop please, you help me so much. Thank you.

[@MaciejRzemek]

I've seen that some of you got location on Googleplex! Any ideas how to fix that? ;)

[@niclasb4860]

I had an issue with the app crashing as soon as I opened the map. I solve the issue by updating build.gradle to a higher version (v.26).

[@karaangmandirigma6095]

howw ?

[@abdelrahmanazab9515]

???

[@truthseeker11]

Ok, so here is a little bit of a work around if you're getting the Null Pointer Exception for your location. Just have the user turn on their location when the app opens. So, in the MainActivity, within the if(isServicesOK()) statement, place the statusCheck() method after the init() function. And here are the two methods. They will show a dialog if location is off. Once turned on, the app should work. :) Source code below. Credits from this Stack Overflow question - stackoverflow.com/questions/25175522/how-to-enable-location-access-programmatically-in-android: public void statusCheck() { final LocationManager manager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE); if (!manager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER)) { buildAlertMessageNoGps(); } } private void buildAlertMessageNoGps() { final AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this); builder.setMessage("Your GPS seems to be disabled, do you want to enable it?") .setCancelable(false) .setPositiveButton("Yes", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(final DialogInterface dialog, final int id) { startActivity(new Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS)); } }) .setNegativeButton("No", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(final DialogInterface dialog, final int id) { dialog.cancel(); } }); final AlertDialog alert = builder.create(); alert.show(); } Your onCreate method in the MainActivity class will look like this now: @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); if(isServicesOK()) { init(); statusCheck(); //

Actually I tried to integrate that stuff to this app, but its not working to me, I want to create an app by taking the reference of your app !!! that sounds good

[@cforge2411]

you still need it?

[@wongzq]

For all those that have problems retrieving the device's current location (where it throws a NullPointerException) I added this line in the onCreate() function and it worked for me: mFusedLocationProviderClient = LocationServices.getFusedLocationProviderClient(this); You can refer to the Google Developers Guide for this. developer.android.com/training/location/retrieve-current.html#java

[@7mzsZyns]

didn't work :/

[@weachris7412]

didnt work :(

[@AmanGupta-ze7nt]

there is error in *mFusedLocationProviderClient* and i tried other ways but its not working. and the main cause is:- E/UncaughtException: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Lcom/google/android/gms/common/api/Api$zzf; can anyone plz help.?

[@svkrclg]

I am also getting the same problem

[@AmanGupta-ze7nt]

Saurav Kumar well i got some solution. In gradle.build dependencies you have to write the same version of implementation.. e.g. if firebase auth have 12.0.1 then other google services must have the same version.

[@svkrclg]

Yes bro, It worked. Thanks for the help

[@yoavshahrabani4574]

loc.addOnCompleteListener return task, which task.getResult return null what can I do please help me. And how did you got phone emulator with gps?

[@codingwithmitch]

It's not an emulator. That's a real device. I'm using a Google chrome extension called "vysor" to mirror the screen on the computer.

[@yoavshahrabani4574]

CodingWithMitch And how can you check it on a real device? Did you just connect it via usb? Or did you do more than that? Do you have a video on it? Thank you!

[@cforge2411]

yes, with USB sometimes, there is some software needed too google has a age on it, try to find it if you can't , let me know

[@samuelorji8396]

hey mitch,i am getting an error using the FusedLocationProviderClient object to get the location,its returning a null value for me ...and i have been on stackoverflow all day seeking a solution, i haven't found anything...any help will be much appreciated

[@samuelorji8396]

Yes, i literally just copied your code from github into my project and its the same issue.. lemme attach a sample of the error message ****************************************************** Process: com.example.samuel.googlemaps, PID: 12847 java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'double android.location.Location.getLatitude()' on a null object reference at com.example.samuel.googlemaps.MapActivity$1.onComplete(MapActivity.java:88) ********************************* I think another subscriber (Volkan Toprak) had the same issue

[@samuelorji8396]

I tried using mock locations and they worked....the camera map was able to zoom over to the places..my guess is that the problem is from here final Task location = mFusedLocationProviderClient.getLastLocation(); cos the location is actually returning null

[@samuelorji8396]

i have tried surrounding with a try/catch block, it caught the exception quite alright thus not making the camera to move to my location. I'll still keep on trying to debug it.Thanks so much for the response...really really means a lot

[@samuelorji8396]

hey mitch, i think was able to find a workaround, according to this post *************** stackoverflow.com/a/29854418 *************************** i just opened google maps first...then ran the app and it ran smoothly...finally i can continue with the course......... i'll still try to see if that can be avoided though

[@samuelorji8396]

Mitch Tabian just noticed that the GetLocation method only works when I have google maps actually running .....cos anytime I restart my phone and try ...it doesn't work... I saw something like fusedlocationclient.requireUpdates() ...as a method.....couldn't really understand it....maybe once I'm done with your course..I'll just create a new branch to use the method ....so I don't always have to use google maps ...Thanks.

[@ubaidurrehman7668]

[@aghaaful]

[@himanshunegi3216]

hey bro I am getting null object reference on getMapAsync() what should I do Please Help. I am a newbie Thank You

[@volkantoprak5132]

Hello Mitch, first of all, thanks a lot for this awesome tutorial. I found an error. If user's last location is not known then null pointer exception occurs since currentLocation is null. This occurs if user did not turn on gps. I am still searching the best solution. I just wanted to inform you.

[@samuelorji8396]

having the same error

[@samuelorji8396]

try to run your default google maps and get your location first..then try the app again..mine worked after that .... i got it from this post stackoverflow.com/a/29854418

[@subotai45]

You can try to run the project in a physical android device instead of the emulator, that worked for me.

[@ouahabhadilzineb2955]

thank you so much god bless u

[@gaoyunlong9403]

Anyone faced this error?Im stuck now! E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main Process: com.example.a42411.myapplication, PID: 2082 java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Lcom/google/android/gms/common/api/Api$zzf;

[@Anime-Freak714]

[@bilalyousaf6902]

who got the solution of this video? I'm not getting device location help me out please...

[@anasraza9709]

If you are getting null pointer exception like "java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'double android.location.Location.getLatitude()' on a null object reference" Cope this getDeviceLocation() method: public void getDeviceLocation(){ Log.d(TAG, "getDeviceLocation: getting the device current location"); fusedLocationProviderClient = LocationServices.getFusedLocationProviderClient(this); try { if(mLocationPermissionGranted){ Task task = fusedLocationProviderClient.getLastLocation(); task.addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener() { @Override public void onSuccess(Location location) { if(location != null){ Log.d(TAG, "onComplete: found location!"); moveCamera(new LatLng(location.getLatitude(),location.getLongitude()), DEFAULT_ZOOM); }else{ Log.d(TAG, "onComplete: current location is null"); Toast.makeText(GoogleMapsActivity.this,"Unable to get current location", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } } }); } }catch (SecurityException e){ Log.d(TAG, "getDeviceLocation: SecurityException: " + e.getMessage()); } }

[@RShienh]

FusedLocationProviderClient is deprecated

[@markdelrosario4231]

how do you fix that problem sir?

[@RShienh]

@@markdelrosario4231 I checked the documentation and found a way around. I don't remember it now.

[@markdelrosario4231]
