Getting current location on Android - java

I want to find out where my location is currently on the device connected to my computer, but since my location has not changed, it does not fall into the onLocationChanged function and therefore returns location = null. How do I enter the onLocationChanged function?
#Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
mMap = googleMap;
mMap.setOnMapLongClickListener(this);
locationManager = (LocationManager) this.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
locationListener = new LocationListener() {
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
LatLng userLocation = new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());
mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(userLocation, 15));
}
#Override
public void onStatusChanged(String s, int i, Bundle bundle) {
}
#Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String s) {
}
#Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String s) {
}
};

Like Sai suggested, you can use the fused location provider to retrieve the device's last known location which will display your current location.
Check out the working code sample below:
import android.Manifest;
import android.content.pm.PackageManager;
import android.location.Location;
import android.os.Bundle;
import androidx.annotation.NonNull;
import androidx.core.app.ActivityCompat;
import androidx.core.content.ContextCompat;
import androidx.fragment.app.FragmentActivity;
import com.google.android.gms.location.FusedLocationProviderClient;
import com.google.android.gms.location.LocationServices;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.OnMapReadyCallback;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment;
import com.google.android.gms.tasks.OnFailureListener;
import com.google.android.gms.tasks.OnSuccessListener;
public class MapsActivity extends FragmentActivity implements OnMapReadyCallback {
private FusedLocationProviderClient fusedLocationClient;
private GoogleMap mMap;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_maps);
fusedLocationClient = LocationServices.getFusedLocationProviderClient(this);
SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
.findFragmentById(R.id.map);
if (mapFragment != null) {
mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
}
}
#Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
mMap = googleMap;
if (checkPermissions()) {
mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
}
fusedLocationClient.getLastLocation()
.addOnSuccessListener(this, new OnSuccessListener<Location>() {
#Override
public void onSuccess(Location location) {
if (location != null) {
System.out.println("current location: " + location.toString());
} else {
System.out.println("current location is null");
}
}
}).addOnFailureListener(new OnFailureListener() {
#Override
public void onFailure(#NonNull Exception e) {
System.out.println("error trying to get current location");
e.printStackTrace();
}
});
}
private boolean checkPermissions() {
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this,
Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
return true;
} else {
requestPermissions();
return false;
}
}
private void requestPermissions() {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this,
new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION},
1);
}
}
Hope it helps!

How can I do this , please?
My error is in the code : "Add permission check"
You need to check it for Marshmollow
private static final int GRANTED = PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED;
if (checkCoarseLocationPermission(getActivity()) && checkFineLocationPermission(getActivity())) {
//permissions are granted
}else {
requestLocationPermission(getActivity());
}
}
public boolean checkCoarseLocationPermission(Activity mActivity){
int permissionCheck = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(mActivity,
Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION);
return permissionCheck == GRANTED;
}
public boolean checkFineLocationPermission(Activity mActivity){
int permissionCheck = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(mActivity,
Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION);
return permissionCheck == GRANTED;
}
public void requestLocationPermission(Activity mActivity){
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(mActivity,
new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION},
MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_LOCATION);
}
try this
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
if(location != null){
location = locationManager .getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Latitude:" + location.getLatitude() + " - Longitude:" + location.getLongitude(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
}
}
You need to add the permissions in the manifest of your app. Open your manifest.xml and put this two lines:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"></uses-permission>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"></uses-permission>
ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION allows your app to track the user position using the actual GPS.
ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION allows your app to track the user position using WiFi Networks, so you can omit this one if you are only using the GPS.

Location Updates to Firebase are too fast, lags application

My current goal is to send the LatLng to Firebase. I did achieve this but the problem I have now is that after a couple of updates to Firebase, my location field starts to receive updates super fast which in turn lags my application and also increases my phones temperature.
How would I go about sending location updates to firebase twice every minute without having the application lag?
I send the location updates to Firebase under the onLocationChanged(Location) method.
Here is my Mapfragment class.

If you're trying to send your location twice a minute, you need to remove the part of sending location updates in Firebase inside onLocationChanged.
Add a CountDownTimer and trigger to send a location update after each 30 seconds have passed.
So you need to do something like this.
Take two global variables
private Location currentLocation;
private Location previousLocation;
Now inside your onCreateView declare a timer like this.
new CountDownTimer(30000, 1000) { // 30 seconds timer
public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
// Do nothing
}
public void onFinish() {
// Send location update to firebase here if the previous location sent to server and the current location is not the same.
final LatLng coordinates = new LatLng(currentLocation.getLatitude(),currentLocation.getLongitude());
if(currentLocation == previousLocation) return; // Pseudo code
final Firebase userRef = new Firebase("MY_URL");
userRef.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
#Override
public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
userRef.setValue(coordinates);
}
#Override
public void onCancelled(FirebaseError firebaseError) {
}
});
// Now start the timer from here again.
this.start(); // Pseudo code.
}
}.start();
Inside your onLocationChanged function, just update the currentLocation like this
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(final Location location) {
currentLocation = location; // Update the current location here
}
