I am creating a simple app which takes value of latitude and longitude using GPS and i am trying to pass it to google maps to show it on map. GPS is working fine but when i am using those values of lat long it does nothing at all. Only the map is visible with a default marker.
MainActivity.java
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
GoogleMap googleMap;
GpsTracker gps;
double lattitude;
double longitude;
Button btnMap;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
btnMap = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonMap);
gps = new GpsTracker(MainActivity.this);
if( gps.canGetLocation()) {
lattitude = gps.getLatitude();
longitude = gps.getLongitude();
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Location"+lattitude+"/n"+longitude,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} else {
gps.showAlertDialog();
}
try{
initialiseMap();
}catch( Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
/**
* function to load map. If map is not created it will create it for you
* */
public void initialiseMap() {
if (googleMap == null) {
googleMap = ( (MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Location"+lattitude+"/n"+longitude,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
MarkerOptions marker = new MarkerOptions().position(new LatLng(gps.getLatitude(),gps.getLongitude())).title("Location");
googleMap.addMarker(marker);
CameraPosition cameraPosition = new CameraPosition.Builder().target(new LatLng(lattitude,longitude)).zoom(12).build();
googleMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newCameraPosition(cameraPosition));
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Location"+lattitude+"/n"+longitude,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
// check if map is created successfully or not
if (googleMap == null) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"Sorry! unable to create maps", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
.show();
}
}
}
@Override
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
}
@Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
}
@Override
protected void onStop() {
super.onStop();
gps.stopUsingGPS();
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
return true;
}
}
It is showing lat long. I have read that lat long which i am receiving is in double format while google map's marker take Double as parameter for LatLng.

Kindly tell me what else do i have to add now. Maybe overlay method ?
