Google Maps tracking my own location isnt working in WebView

Hello I'm working on programming a Google Maps WebView. I was trying to track and display my own location. When I press the button, it loads for a while and it said that Google Maps couldn't determine my precise location. I tried running it on Android 5.1 Api 22 Lollipop, it still doesnt work.

How can remove the titlebar and remain the browser in fullscreen

I'm trying to create my first app, the browser for android with this code already done, but needed to adapt to my necessity. I still do not know java, and the examples I find I can not make it work.
I need help and reading.
How can remove the titlebar and remain the browser in fullscreen?

1 - in your layout, set the WebView to match_parent in both layout_width and layout_height
2 - in your code, add these lines:
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Hiding Title bar of this activity screen
getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
// Making this activity full screen
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
in place of the existing
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
If your IDE is NOT SET to add the missing imports, just add the following line to your imports:
import android.view.Window;
import android.view.WindowManager;

update your manifeist like this :
only mentioning one thing:
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar"

Android - Eclipse ignoring Java code, only runs from XML file

I am new to Android development in Eclipse, and for some reason, when trying to run my Java code, Eclipse ignores it and only runs the XML code.
Here is my Java code so far:
package com.example.boat;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.LinearLayout;
import android.widget.ScrollView;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
ScrollView mainView = new ScrollView(this);
LinearLayout mainLayout = new LinearLayout(this);
LinearLayout results = new LinearLayout(this);
mainView.addView(mainLayout);
mainLayout.addView(results);
results.setVisibility(View.GONE);
TextView mhs = new TextView(this);
mhs.setText("Maximum hull speed:");
mainLayout.addView(mhs);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
}
Here is my XML code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.boat"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" android:installLocation="auto">
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="14"
android:targetSdkVersion="18" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name="com.example.ser421assignment4.MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
Does anyone know what is wrong here? I prefer to use Java, not XML.

I'm not sure what you think isn't running but the only thing that will happen here is that your activity_main.xml will be inflated because of this line
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
All of the Java code before this is just creating Views but not being added to the inflated View with setContentView(). Once you call setContentView() that is what will be displayed. If you want to set those Views on this layout then you need to do it after your call to setContentView() and you have to add them to that layout...not just on each other.
However, in this situation, I see no need to create those dynamically. Just add them to your activity_main.xml and take those out of onCreate().

Intent using thread is not working

I know I already asked this, but I didn't get a sufficient answer. Im trying to start an activity, but the emulator stays on the first activity. Ive tried all ways to do it but it never works. The youtube videos show that it should work but it never does. Is there something missing or is there anything wrong with the following code?
//First Activity:
package com.mtprogramming.magicsquaresgame;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.content.Intent;
public class Opening extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_opening);
Thread timer = new Thread(){
public void run(){
try{
sleep(5000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}finally{
Intent open = new Intent("com.mtprogramming.magicsquaresgame.MENU");
startActivity(open);
}
}
};
timer.start();
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.opening, menu);
return true;
}
}
//Second Activity:
package com.mtprogramming.magicsquaresgame;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
//Created by suprav on 7/11/13.
public class Menu extends Activity {
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_menu);
}
}
//Android Manifest:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.mtprogramming.magicsquaresgame"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="7"
android:targetSdkVersion="17" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name="com.mtprogramming.magicsquaresgame.Opening"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name="com.mtprogramming.magicsquaresgame.Menu"
android:label="#string/title_activity_menu"
android:parentActivityName="Opening" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.mtprogramming.magicsquaresgame.MENU"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
</intent-filter>
<meta-data
android:name="android.support.PARENT_ACTIVITY"
android:value="Opening" />
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>

Try this:
Intent open = new Intent(Opening.this, Menu.class);
startActivity(open);

I think i found the issue, seems like metadata property is not being properly used, hences activity its not being started, this is the proper way to use the property:
<activity android:name=".TestActivity" >
<meta-data android:name="android.support.PARENT_ACTIVITY"
android:value=".TestParentActivity">
</meta-data>
</activity>
So, seems like you are missing a dot in "android:value="Opening"
Regards!

Unfortunately, app has stopped

Unfortunately, app has stopped. The purpose of the app is to display a web page when it is launched. I have researched this problem, and tried changing code in the manifest file. I have been unsuccessful at eliminating this message.
MainActivity.java
package com.example.testb1;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
Intent getmobilepages = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
Uri uri = Uri.parse("http://www.mcohio.org/government/auditor/mobile_app/home.cfm");
getmobilepages.setData(uri);
startActivity(getmobilepages);
}
}

Edit: I tried running your code and was completely wrong. You are just missing the line:
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
At the start of your oncreate method. Add that in and it should compile just fine.
Make sure to post your logcat in the future, the error is identified clearly there.

You have not called super you will get SuperNotCalled Exception. You need to set you layout. Better to start another activity on button click.
Add internet permission in manifest
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
MainActivty
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
Button b;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// call super
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
// set your layout
b = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
//get button id
b.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener()
{
public void onClick(View v)
{
// do something
Intent getmobilepages = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
Uri uri = Uri.parse("http://www.mcohio.org/government/auditor/mobile_app/home.cfm");
getmobilepages.setData(uri);
startActivity(getmobilepages);
}
});
}
}
