Android LocationProvider will not update

I've set the setInterval to 10 seconds, and the setFastestInterval to 1 second, but the app doesn't update the address location. It's only loaded once.
I want it to be loaded more than once. Should I put the mLocationProvider in a loop?
Thanks for any help.

Ive read https://developer.android.com/training/location/receive-location-updates but it didn't help me much.

Google maps and Java. I need to get a device's long/lat and then put it into a variable

Currently working on a location-based AR game. I have some code which compiles which doesn't work (I am working with Android Studio but the code is Java).
Essentially, I am new to the maps API and I need help fixing what is wrong. How do I add my API key, which Google location API should I use, and how do I actually put this into variables? Thank you so much. (Ignore, some of the code won't cast into the coding box, sorry. All the import stuff right after this sentence).

This is the interface of the retrofit. It has just the GET as it just reads data from map url.

#GET("api/place/nearbysearch/json?sensor=true&key=AIzaSyABCGHHSFDGSDsdfGADFnM")
Call<Example> getNearbyPlaces(#Query("type") String type, #Query("location") String location, #Query("radius") int radius);
}

I have just looped inside the onResponse retrofit function like this:
public void onResponse(Call call, Response response) {
/* implement the toast */
/* =new ArrayList<User>(); */
ArrayList<User> test;
test=response.body().getUsers();
String jax= test.get(0).getFarm_name();
//Toast.makeText(MarkerDemoActivity.this, "farm name is "+jax, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
//LatLng m_cord,String farm_name,String desc
int i = 0;
while ( test.size()>i) {
String farm_name = test.get(i).getFarm_name();
String desc1 = test.get(i).getOwner_tel();
String desc2 = test.get(i).getFarm_type();
String cords = test.get(i).getM_cord();
//split the co-ords
String[] latlong = cords.split(",");
double latitude = Double.parseDouble(latlong[0]);
double longitude = Double.parseDouble(latlong[1]);
LatLng location = new LatLng(latitude, longitude);
//do the loop here
// Add lots of markers to the map. LatLng m_cord,String farm_name,String desc
addMarkersToMapJax(location, farm_name, desc1 + desc2);
i++;
}
}
I created a marker function to load the co-ordinates:
private void addMarkersToMapJax(LatLng m_cord,String farm_name,String desc) {
// Uses a colored icon.
mArc = mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
.position(m_cord)
.title(farm_name)
.snippet(desc)

If you are running on emulator then open google maps application first and then try your app

Test in device if you want to get data in first time and for genymotion emulator set location from side menus and then try. and if you are using android studio emulator set mock location and then try.

Calculating the distance between two markers in Android

For an app that I'm currently working on I want to set up a button that finds the distance between two markers on a google maps activity and when you click the button it shows the distance between your current location and the other marker
I don't have any code in my java class for the button yet but at the moment I'm just wondering how I actually find the distance between my current location and my set up marker. Here's my code for finding the users current location and it has a marker set up in a random location.

I also know that for finding the distance between two markers in Android Studio you'd use something like
Location loc1 = new Location("");
loc1.setLatitude(lat1);
loc1.setLongitude(lon1);
Location loc2 = new Location("");
loc2.setLatitude(lat2);
loc2.setLongitude(lon2);
float distanceInMeters = loc1.distanceTo(loc2);
So I'm just wondering if anybody would be able to help me implement the code for finding the distance because I'm not sure where it should go in my class or if I'll have to redo some parts of the class to make the distance work

When trying to find distance between markers, I would recommend to convert them back to Location objects to be able to use the in-built Android method of calculating distance.
Given some Marker marker that you have set up and have access through onMarkerClick() or already saved and current position Location currentLocation, inside your onClick(View v) method for the Button:
LatLng markerLatLng = marker.getPosition();
Location markerLocation = new Location("");
markerLocation.setLatitude(markerLatLng.latitude);
markerLocation.setLongitude(markerLatLng.longitude);
currentLocation.distanceTo(markerLocation);

Hi I made an example and its like your qquestion.But you must customise for your build.You can use Collections class.Its easy and perfectly work.
Comparator<Sinemalar> comparator=new Comparator<Sinemalar>() {
#Override
public int compare(Sinemalar left, Sinemalar right) {
return (int)(left.getDistance()-right.getDistance());
}
};
Collections.sort(sinemalarList, comparator);
I hope work for you
public float distanceCounter(String value, Context context) {
Location cinemaLocation = new Location("CinemaLocation");
String s = new String(value);
String[] result = s.split(",");
List<String> elephantList = Arrays.asList(s.split(","));
String longitude = elephantList.get(1);
String latitude = elephantList.get(0);
cinemaLocation.setLatitude(Double.parseDouble(latitude));
cinemaLocation.setLongitude(Double.parseDouble(longitude));
float distance = getCurrrentLocation(context).distanceTo(cinemaLocation)/1000 ;
return distance;
}
String value=34.54665 , 23.54546
Full code here you can use with here.Sory i forgot.
