We Keep Coding

Before asking for permissions Android application closed ? How resolve that?

The first time I install this application, and when I launch MapsActivity, I am asked for permissions, which is normal. But the problem is that the application closes in the meantime. How can I modify my code to keep the application open, and the permission pop-up just overlaps. Thank you very much for your answer.

I'm not able to put comment,Thus forward my answer as post.
you may should describe about your problem more but do you add ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION and
ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION to your Manifest file?
EDIT:
just change onPause to following:
#Override
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
if(locationManager != null) // add this line to your code
locationManager.removeUpdates(this);
}
Cause:
When Permission dialog has been shown your activity onPause() is called, and since you not initialize location manager yet, it throws NullPointerException.

Try this code to initialize map with required run time permission.
public class MapActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements OnMapReadyCallback,
GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener{

My application is skipping frames when I open google maps. "The application may be doing too much work on its main thread"

I have been working on an app which implements google maps. When I am on my homescreen and presses the "start map" button the message "Skipped 85 frames!

Based from this thread, if you have a lot of code in your UI events then you will see this error message. Also this will occur with asynchronous events like fetching data from a URL. The workaround given is to use threads or async tasks.
You want to off load any heavy code off of your UI Threads and onto another area - a new thread or in your main activity.
Here are some SO posts which might also help:

LocationListner no longer listen for gps status change after upgrade to Android 7

After updated my app to support Android 7 the GPS listner no longer is invoked when the GPS on/off is triggerd. If I refresh my activity it works as expected on Android 6, but not in Android 7. Does anyone have any idea. I have added both my listner, and code releated to gps change in my activity.
I have if its difficult a theory to override the backpressed or activity resumed to recreate view, but havn't suceeded with that either .
GPSListner.java
public abstract class GPSListener implements LocationListener {
private Context context;
public GPSListener(Context context) {
this.context = context;
}
#Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
onGPSOn();
}
#Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
onGPSOff();
}
public abstract void onGPSOff();
public abstract void onGPSOn();
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
}
#Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
}
}
My class
gpsListener = new GPSListener(this) {
#Override
public void onGPSOff() {
gpsImg.setImageResource(R.drawable.notok);
}
#Override
public void onGPSOn() {
gpsImg.setImageResource(R.drawable.ok);
}
};
final LocationManager manager;
manager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
final ImageView gpsImg = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.gpsstatus);
if (manager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER)) {
gpsImg.setImageResource(R.drawable.ok);
} else {
gpsImg.setImageResource(R.drawable.notok); //not ok
}
This last method opens the gps settings.
public View.OnClickListener onButtongpsClick = new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent gpsOptionsIntent = new Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS);
startActivity(gpsOptionsIntent);
}
};

Obtaining location is a bit tricky itself. Only GPS can have line-of-sight issues and would vary depending on device too, not just Android version. Over the years Android location services have matured and using up-to-date standard practices does result in higher consistency with respect to results.
By the way, LocationClient is deprecated. FusedLocationProviderApi does not use it anymore.
It works through a GoogleApiClient and this part makes the GooglePlayServices mandatory. You have options if this does not suit your app.
Making your app location aware suggests:
The Google Play services location APIs are preferred over the Android
framework location APIs (android.location) as a way of adding location
awareness to your app. If you are currently using the Android
framework location APIs, you are strongly encouraged to switch to the
Google Play services location APIs as soon as possible.
You can break it into parts to understand it better, like;
Building the GoogleApiClient
protected synchronized void buildGoogleApiClient() {
mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this) //this = activity
.addApi(LocationServices.API)
.addConnectionCallbacks(this) //interfaces implemented
.addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
.build();
}
Requesting location,
// Create the location request
mLocationRequest = LocationRequest.create()
.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY)
.setInterval(UPDATE_INTERVAL)
.setFastestInterval(FASTEST_INTERVAL);
// Request location updates
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient,
mLocationRequest, this);
Try the last known location, if that requirement works for you,
#Override
public void onConnected(Bundle bundle) {
Location mCurrentLocation = LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation(mGoogleApiClient);
...}
onConnected() is the callback from GoogleApiClient...
So there is more to location than initialising a client and implementing the listener. I recommend you go through a few questions or android docs to ensure you implement what suits your requirement.
Also,
instead of
Intent gpsOptionsIntent = new Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS); ,
use SettingsApi
can refer to Enabling location mode...
Some useful Q&As:
Comprehensive answer for obtaining location
Good to go through LocationRequest part here if you want to avoid reading in detail

final LocationManager manager;
manager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
Do i even have to comment on this one? Read it again and you will understand what is wrong with it.
Hint. Try:
final LocationManager manager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);

You can used fused location api to get the location
Fused Location Api :
Fused Location Provider automatically decides best location from the available options for that it uses GPS and Network Provider, So if the device GPS is off we can still get the location from Network provider vice versa.
Why Fused Location Api ?
Consumption of power while fetching location.
It will give accurate
location based on user priority.
Piggyback which means you can get
location every time when other application hits for location for you
advantage is user not blame you for that you just getting those
location which other application request.
We don’t have to pick the
provider(GPS or network provider)
please refer code for following for getting location.
LocationService : We required these for getting continues location and these register as pending intent so whenever device got new location these service invoke.
public class LocationService extends IntentService {
private String TAG = this.getClass().getSimpleName();
public LocationService() {
super("Fused Location");
}
public LocationService(String name) {
super("Fused Location");
}
#Override
protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) {
Location location = intent.getParcelableExtra(LocationClient.KEY_LOCATION_CHANGED);
if(location !=null){
Log.i(TAG, "onHandleIntent " + location.getLatitude() + "," + location.getLongitude());
// write your code here.
}
}
}
MainActivity : which register callbacks for it which tell us whether we are connected or disconnected with api.

how to get the google map blue point latitude and longitude in android

My objective is to track the user's location and give an alert on reaching marked location. So first I get the location to reach and marked that. Then I get the current location and compare it with marked location. But it is not working. Even I placed the marker at current location. It is not giving the toast message. Here is the code -
public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity implements LocationListener{
LocationManager locationManager;
String provider;
ToggleButton toggle;
public static double lat,lang,value1,value2,value3,value4;
public static String strlat,strlat1;
public LatLng loc,loc1;
public double latitude,longitude;
public static String strlang,strlang1 ;
Location location;
public LocationManager locationmanager;
// Google Map
private GoogleMap googleMap;
LocationListener Locationlistener;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
locationManager = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
// Creating an empty criteria object
Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
// Getting the name of the provider that meets the criteria
provider = locationManager.getBestProvider(criteria, false);
if(provider!=null && !provider.equals("")){
// Get the location from the given provider
final Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(provider);
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(provider, 1000, 1, this);
final Handler handler = new Handler();
Runnable runnable = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
if(location!=null){
lat = location.getLatitude();
lang = location.getLongitude();
value3 =Double.parseDouble(new DecimalFormat("##.##").format(lat));
value4 =Double.parseDouble(new DecimalFormat("##.##").format(lang));
strlat = String.valueOf(value3);
strlang = String.valueOf(value4);
loc1 =new LatLng(lat, lang);
if((value1 == value3) && (value2 == value4))
{
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "target reached", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
else
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Location can't be retrieved", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
else{
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "No Provider Found", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
googleMap.setOnMapClickListener(new OnMapClickListener(){
public void onMapClick(LatLng point){
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(),
point.latitude + ", " + point.longitude,
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
latitude = point.latitude;

There are a few things wrong in your code.
You can't compare coordinates with == because you will never have an exact match for lat/lon coordinates when tracking the device's location. You need to figure out a threshold, and if the device gets within that threshold, then show the alert.
Next, you're not using your onLocationChanged() callback, so you are just looking at the current location one time at app start-up.
Take a look at the code in my other answer here which is about determining if the device is within a circle. This is a similar problem.
So, if you were to make your threshold 10 meters, and consider the target reached if the device is within 10 meters of the target location, you would implement your onLocationChanged() method something like this:
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
float[] distance = new float[2];
Location.distanceBetween( location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude(),
latitude, longitude, distance);
if( distance[0] < 10 ){
//target location reached
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "target reached", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}

one more daniel.i changed above code now it was working now have some more problem.
1.i tried to set splash screen like in my second.class.i set the above code for google map.it was running for five second while moving from one to another it get stopped
new Timer().schedule(new TimerTask(){
public void run() {
Intent intent = new Intent (MainActivity.this, SecondActivity.class);
PendingIntent pendIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(getBaseContext(), 1000, intent, 0);
}
}, 5000);
2.i want set search in google map how to set that i tried that it not working give some idea.

Detecting if no Network to obtain Geo Coordinates

My app is heavily run off GeoCoordinates, and I have it so when users Post a Book it records the users geo coordinate like so:
PostBookButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
locationManager = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
locationListener = new ObtainLocation();
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 0, 0, locationListener);
}
});
public class ObtainLocation implements LocationListener{
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location loc) {
if (loc != null)
{
Latitude = loc.getLatitude();
Longitude = loc.getLongitude();
ParseGeoPoint itemLoc = new ParseGeoPoint(Latitude,Longitude);
book.setGeoLocation(itemLoc);
book.saveInBackground(new SaveCallback()
{
#Override
public void done(ParseException e) {
if (e == null)
{
finish();
}
else
{
}
}
});
}
}
else
{
}
locationManager.removeUpdates(locationListener);
}
But problem is app will crash if the activity is ran with no network connection, seeing how it won't be able to obtain the geopoint coordinates.
How would I just make it so if the app fails on obtaining coordinates, instead of crashing maybe alert the user they cannot view books in their area due to no way to obtain their current location.

Update: The solution below is a general network connectivity one and won't necessarily tell you if you can get location updates through wifi as pointed out in comments.
You can register to receive network connectivity updates using a BroadcastReceiver. Register to listen for the android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE action. Take a look at this for more info. Below, is a sample receiver.
public class ConnectivityReceiver extends WakefulBroadcastReceiver {
private static final String TAG = ConnectivityReceiver.class.getSimpleName();
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
if (cm.getActiveNetworkInfo() != null && cm.getActiveNetworkInfo().isConnected()) {
Log.d(TAG, "network state change; new state: connected");
} else {
Log.d(TAG, "network state change; new state: " + (cm.getActiveNetworkInfo() != null ? cm.getActiveNetworkInfo().getState() : " unknown"));
}
}
}

In addition to checking network accessibility, check if network location provider is enabled by user's system preferences:
ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager)getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
LocationManager lm = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
if ( lm == null || cm == null
|| !lm.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER)
|| !cm.getActiveNetworkInfo().isConnected()) {
// show alert: geolocation through network is inaccessible
}
