I'm asking about receiving FINE and COARSE permissions successfully. Then building GoogleAPIClient
and creating LocationRequest
but then FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation
it keeps on returning null. I am aware that the connection should be established before asking for a location. Because onStart()
where the Connection is established is called after retrieveLocation()
method I call mLocationApiClient.connect()
immediately after building GoogleApiClient. onConnected
method is being hit and when I check mLocationApiClient.isConnected() it says 'true'. And then when I try to retrieve LastLocation
using FusedLocationApi
it always return null. I feel confused because I've checked multiple times and there is a connection but no location retrieved. Where am I wrong?

2 Reson for this
- getLastLocation() not give location always. You have to write location update also
- In some devices some times google play service won't connect
So for avoid this you have to fetch location from GPS also, consider following code
add this dependencies in your build gradle
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:10.2.1'
compile 'cn.pedant.sweetalert:library:1.3'

In your activity follow these step
Create and initialize LocationResolver variable
private LocationResolver mLocationResolver;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mLocationResolver=new LocationResolver(this);
}
And also add these lines into your activity
@Override
protected void onStart() {
super.onStart();
mLocationResolver.onStart();
}
@Override
protected void onStop() {
super.onStop();
mLocationResolver.onStop();
}
@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
mLocationResolver.onDestroy();
}
@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, @NonNull String[] permissions, @NonNull int[] grantResults) {
super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
mLocationResolver.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
}
Usage: When ever you want location use this code for getting location
void retrieveLocation() {
mLocationResolver.resolveLocation(this, new LocationResolver.OnLocationResolved() {
@Override
public void onLocationResolved(Location location) {
// Do what ever you want
}
});
}
