This code below currently shows location of device. I am getting JSON from URL, and parsing it below. I want to display this as Markers in my MapActivity. I am getting java.lang.NullPointerException on mMap.addMarket(_markeroptions).
I am getting JSON data, that part is working, just not able to display it on Map. Your guidance will be helpful.

When onMapReady() method is call you used map Object without initialization and after you initialize, so then have return null pointer.

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

}
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:
#Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// TODO: Consider calling
// ActivityCompat#requestPermissions
// here to request the missing permissions, and then overriding
// public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions,
// int[] grantResults)
// to handle the case where the user grants the permission. See the documentation
// for ActivityCompat#requestPermissions for more details.
return;
}
mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
}
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);
}
}
So my issue is I have a kml layer on my maps with several Markers on them. I want to be able to click on a Marker on the map and save the information about this marker in a HashMap if this is possible.
I understand there is the method onMarkerClickListener but I don't quite seem how to actually use this. How to I iterate through the kml layer? or Do I just use the markers on the map?
public class MapsActivity extends FragmentActivity implements OnMapReadyCallback,
GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks,
GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener,
LocationListener {
private KmlLayer layer;
private GoogleMap mMap;
GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;
Location mLastLocation;
Marker mCurrLocationMarker;
LocationRequest mLocationRequest;
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
int day = calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);

}

The above is my code for adding the KML layer.
I don't really understand what you want to do but I think the onMarkerClickListener class is effectively your solution. It's onMarkerClick function will be triggered whenever a marker will be clicked, and, as a parameter, you will get an handle on it, giving you the possibility to save information about it.
I have an app: Map&Location. When I move the blue point indicator moves along with me but the marker doesn't. It stays fixed in one place, does anybody know what the problem is?

You are removing location update when the first onLocationChange triggers.
Remove these lines:
//stop location updates

How to draw the direction from current location to destination?
There are multiple ways of doing that..
Using browser, pass source and destination
public void showDirections(View view) {
final Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,Uri.parse("http://maps.google.com/maps?" + "saddr="+ latitude + "," + longitude + "&daddr=" + latitude + "," + longitude));
intent.setClassName("com.google.android.apps.maps","com.google.android.maps.MapsActivity");
startActivity(intent);
}
Using Projection inside map See How to draw straight path between two points. Its not perfect solution for your issue, But you will get idea.
