Marker disappearing and title not showing

I am trying to add a marker on my Google maps by long-pressing on the location and displaying the name of the location, however, whenever I long-press the marker appears for a split second and then goes away (disappears).
I understand after the long-press the marker is supposed to stay and then show the title as well, but that is not working.
Please do let me know if anyone is facing any such issue and can help me with it.

address = sdf.format(new Date());
}
mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(latLng).title(address).icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_MAGENTA)));
}
}

You are clearing your map every time your location changes here:
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
centerMapOnLocation(location, "Your Location");
}
That's why your marker disappears right after you add it to the map. If you remove or comment out this line within your centerMapOnLocation method:
mMap.clear();
Then the markers no longer disappear.
Hope this helps!

How to stop a google map from continuously re-Centering at my location

My problem is related to Google Maps in android. when moving the camera at any point, it returns to my original location instantly, How can I stop that? , You can find my code below
The map starts normally and then for some reason it relocates it self to my original location when i try to navigate the map.
public class MapsActivity extends FragmentActivity implements OnMapReadyCallback, GoogleMap.OnMapLongClickListener {
private GoogleMap mMap;
LocationManager locationmanager ;

Anyone can fix this.

You are centering to your location, each time there is a location update.
locationlistener = new LocationListener() {
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
centerMpOnLocation(location, "your Location");
}
...
}
Remove centerMpOnLocation(location, "your Location"); or change your logic.

display current location in MapFragment

I have a location class which creates an instance on MapFragment, and dependant on which activity the map is created from, will drop a different marker. I would also like the map to display a marker for the phones current location.
I'm assuming I can do something like this, but I cant work out how to get and update the phones current coordinates and assign that to myLocation.
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_location);
MapFragment googleMap = (MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map);
googleMap.getMapAsync(this);
}
#Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap nMap){
if(MainMenu.bkSource == true) {
LatLng bkLatLng = new LatLng(54.5816008, -5.9651271);
LatLng myLocation = new LatLng(???);
nMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(bkLatLng).title("Burger King, Boucher Road"));
nMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(myLocation).title("You Are Here");
nMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(bkLatLng, 15));
nMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(18.0f));
}
if(MainMenu.kfcSource == true){
LatLng bkLatLng = new LatLng(54.5771914, -5.9620562);
nMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(bkLatLng).title("KFC, Boucher Road"));
nMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(bkLatLng, 15));
nMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(18.0f));
}
if(MainMenu.mcdSource == true){
LatLng bkLatLng = new LatLng(54.5879486, -5.9580009);
nMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(bkLatLng).title("McDonald's, Boucher Road"));
nMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(bkLatLng, 15));
nMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(18.0f));
}
}

Here is an example Fragment that extends SupportMapFragment, on launch it will get the user's current location, place a Marker, and zoom in:
public class MapFragment extends SupportMapFragment
implements OnMapReadyCallback,
GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks,
GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener,
LocationListener {
GoogleMap mGoogleMap;
SupportMapFragment mapFrag;

#Override

//stop location updates when Activity is no longer active

}

} else {

}
}

mGoogleMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
}
}

mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(getActivity())

}
public static final int MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_LOCATION = 99;
private void checkLocationPermission() {
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(getActivity(), Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)
!= PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// Should we show an explanation?
if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(getActivity(),
Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)) {
// Show an explanation to the user *asynchronously* -- don't block
// this thread waiting for the user's response! After the user
// sees the explanation, try again to request the permission.
new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity())
.setTitle("Location Permission Needed")
.setMessage("This app needs the Location permission, please accept to use location functionality")
.setPositiveButton("OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialogInterface, int i) {

}
mGoogleMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
}
} else {

// functionality that depends on this permission.
Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "permission denied", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
return;
}
// other 'case' lines to check for other
// permissions this app might request
}
}
}
Since the Location permission request needs to go through the Activity, you will need to route the result from the Activity to the Fragment's onRequestPermissionsResult() method:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
MapFragment mapFragment;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
mapFragment = new MapFragment();
FragmentTransaction transaction = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
transaction.add(R.id.mapframe, mapFragment);
transaction.commit();
}
#Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode,
String permissions[], int[] grantResults) {
if (requestCode == MapFragment.MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_LOCATION){
mapFragment.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
}
else {
super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
}
}
}
The layout just contains a FrameLayout where the MapFragment goes.
activity_main.xml:

Use the following code for get current location:

If you want to add marker in current Location try this:
1.Implement LocationListener In your Activity.
2.Update LocationRequest:
LocationRequest mLocationRequest = new LocationRequest();
mLocationRequest.setInterval(5000); //5 seconds
mLocationRequest.setFastestInterval(3000); //3 seconds
mLocationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_BALANCED_POWER_ACCURACY);
3.create your marker on onLocationChanged(Location location)
Geocoder geocoder;
List<Address> addresses;
geocoder = new Geocoder(this, Locale.getDefault());
//place marker at current position
//mGoogleMap.clear();
Marker currLocationMarker;
if (currLocationMarker != null) {
currLocationMarker.remove();
}
latLng = new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());
MarkerOptions markerOptions = new MarkerOptions();
markerOptions.position(latLng);
markerOptions.title("Current Position.......");
markerOptions.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_MAGENTA));
currLocationMarker = mMap.addMarker(markerOptions);
}
}

Android Location Manager returning null location data

I have very interesting problem,
My Location manager sometimes working, sometimes returning null data.
I check all permission , gradle files options and runtime check about location is enabled. My phone not have airplane mode and I do not off location.
Whatever I check all data, There is no trouble for the get the location data.
Main Code
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_maps);
// Obtain the SupportMapFragment and get notified when the map is ready to be used.
SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
.findFragmentById(R.id.map);
mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
cs = (ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>) getIntent().getSerializableExtra("verigeldi");
mLocationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
location = mLocationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
return; // check permission
}
mLocationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 1000,1000, mLocationListener);
}
#Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
mMap = googleMap;
try { // THIS AREA VERY IMPORTANT !!!!
longitude = location.getLongitude(); // GET NULL POINTER EXCEPTION SOMETIMES WORKING
latitude = location.getLatitude(); // GET NULL POINTER EXCEPTION SOME TIMES WORKING
LatLng latLng = new LatLng(latitude, longitude);
CameraUpdate cameraUpdate = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(latLng, 13);
mMap.animateCamera(cameraUpdate);
}
catch (Exception e) {
