I'm developing a android app with google maps. Currently I'm able to view the map inside my app, but I don't know how to view the current location on the app.
Here is my code:
public class MapsFragment extends Fragment{
MapView m;
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// inflat and return the layout
View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.map_near_me, container, false);
m = (MapView) v.findViewById(R.id.map);
m.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
return v;
}
}
Edited:
And the xml:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<com.google.android.gms.maps.MapView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="@+id/map" />
</LinearLayout>
This code works fine and I got to know 'setmylocationenabled' can help to enable in FragmentActivity, but unfortunately I have to use the type as 'Fragment'. And I'm using google api v2. Please someone help with this.
How about using the newly introduced fused location provider
as referenced from: http://developer.android.com/training/location/retrieve-current.html
public static class XYZ extends Fragment
implements
GooglePlayServicesClient.ConnectionCallbacks,
GooglePlayServicesClient.OnConnectionFailedListener,
LocationListener {
GoogleMap map;
LatLng latlng;
private LocationRequest lr;
private LocationClient lc;
MapFragment mapFragment;
ImageView iv;
private static View view;
public XYZ() {
}
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
if (view != null) {
ViewGroup parent = (ViewGroup) view.getParent();
if (parent != null)
parent.removeView(view);
}
try {
view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.XYZ, container,
false);
mapFragment = ((MapFragment) this.getActivity()
.getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map));
iv = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.iv);
map = mapFragment.getMap();
map.getUiSettings().setAllGesturesEnabled(false);
map.getUiSettings().setMyLocationButtonEnabled(false);
map.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
map.getUiSettings().setZoomControlsEnabled(false);
MapsInitializer.initialize(this.getActivity());
} catch (GooglePlayServicesNotAvailableException e) {
Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Google Play Services missing !",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} catch (InflateException e) {
Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Problems inflating the view !",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} catch (NullPointerException e) {
Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Google Play Services missing !",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
return view;
}
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
lr = LocationRequest.create();
lr.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
lc = new LocationClient(this.getActivity().getApplicationContext(),
this, this);
lc.connect();
}
@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location l2) {
CameraUpdate cameraUpdate = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(
new LatLng(l2.getLatitude(), l2.getLongitude()), 15);
map.animateCamera(cameraUpdate);
}
@Override
public void onConnectionFailed(ConnectionResult arg0) {
}
@Override
public void onConnected(Bundle connectionHint) {
lc.requestLocationUpdates(lr, this);
}
@Override
public void onDisconnected() {
}
}
With the XML as:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="4dp"
android:layout_weight="1" >
<fragment
android:id="@+id/map"
android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
/>
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/iv"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="@android:color/transparent" />
</RelativeLayout>
You may get a blank map if you don't have all the requirements, https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/start
Get Play services on your project by following this post
https://blog-emildesign.rhcloud.com/?p=435
Then get an api key: https://blog-emildesign.rhcloud.com/?p=403
Add the permissions to you manifest,
<uses-permission android:name="your.application.package.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
To test the map application you need to have a real device, if not then push play services to emulator via adb, read this post to learn how to install play services via adb https://stackoverflow.com/a/13869332/826657
After all steps above, clean your project, uninstall the previous .apk from emulator, and run the project.
You can enable your location just add this code in your class
GoogleMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
Here is the Link explains all the things you need
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/map
To set location on Map, you need to use below class
LatLong objLatLng=new LatLong(lat,longi);
yourMapObject.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(objLatLng, 20));
yourMapObject.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(18), 2000, null);
Hope this will help you.
You should init your Map v2 like this:
m = (MapView) v.findViewById(R.id.map);
GoogleMap mMap = m.getMap();
Now you can use mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
Use LocationListener:
GPSTracker objGPSTracker = new GPSTracker(mContext);
objGPSTracker.stopUsingGPS();
objGPSTracker.getLocation();
This is class for GPSTracker
public class GPSTracker extends Service implements LocationListener {
private final Context mContext;
// flag for GPS status
boolean isGPSEnabled = false;
// flag for network status
boolean isNetworkEnabled = false;
// flag for GPS status
boolean canGetLocation = false;
//
Location location; // location
double latitude; // latitude
double longitude; // longitude
// The minimum distance to change Updates in meters
private static final long MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES = 50; // 10 meters
// The minimum time between updates in milliseconds
private static final long MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES = 1000 * 60 * 1; // 1 minute
// Declaring a Location Manager
protected LocationManager locationManager;
public GPSTracker(Context context) {
this.mContext = context;
//getLocation();
}
public Location getLocation() {
try {
locationManager = (LocationManager) mContext.getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
// getting GPS status
isGPSEnabled = locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
// getting network status
isNetworkEnabled = locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
if (!isGPSEnabled && !isNetworkEnabled) {
// no network provider is enabled
} else {
this.canGetLocation = true;
if (isNetworkEnabled) {
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(
LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER,
MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES,
MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES, this);
Log.d("Network", "Network");
if (locationManager != null) {
location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
if (location != null) {
Constant.mLocation = location;
latitude = location.getLatitude();
longitude = location.getLongitude();
}
}
}
// if GPS Enabled get lat/long using GPS Services
if (isGPSEnabled) {
if (location == null) {
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(

MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES,
MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES, this);
Log.d("GPS Enabled", "GPS Enabled");
if (locationManager != null) {
