my app is crash when i enter any word after provide space in autocompletetextview and then again when i enter any word then its crash....

Your list is initialized to null at
List<HashMap<String, String>> list = null;
And if the parsing fire any exception, the list will be still null since it won't get initialized & setting a null List to an adapter will produce the NullPointerException at getCount(). So just ensure to initialize it.
List<HashMap<String, String>> list = new ArrayList<>();
IMPORTANT
When you use a space & try to call that URL, it will fire a FileNotFoundException if not encoded properly. In your case, URL url = new URL(strUrl); is firing that exception while using space character.
Easiest way is to replace space with %20. In getAutoCompleteUrl() before return, put the following code to replace space with %20.
private String getAutoCompleteUrl(String place) {
-------existing code----
url = url.replaceAll(" ", "%20");
return url;
}

Actually i had faced the same situation. You are adding data to autocomplete textview dynamically , basically just like google for each word you are typing u are getting that data from server , if i am wrong please correct me.
Use this code for populating data into autocomplete textview dynamically from server depending upon your search

How to move the marker in Google map when the latitude and longitude changes in webservices?

In my application am plotting a set of latitude and longitude from web services to Google map but when the Latitude and longitude changes in the web services the marker is not moving. when I close and open the application it updates the changes, but I need to move the marker without closing and restarting the application.

You can use handler for updating the location.Inside run() just call that webservice.And just put the marker in current location.
// Call current location API after 3 Min
handler.postDelayed(run, 3000 * 60);
Runnable run = new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
if (isConnected(context)) {
new CurrentPosTask().execute();
} else {
Toast.makeText(context, "No internet connection",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
};
Don't forget call below method into onDestroy() method
// Stop the handler
handler.removeCallbacks(run);
Hope it will help you. Let me know once done.

You have to set repeat alarm to check the web service at intervel
private AlarmManager alarmMgr;
private PendingIntent alarmIntent;
alarmMgr = (AlarmManager)context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
Intent intent = new Intent(context, AlarmReceiver.class);
alarmIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, intent, 0);
alarmMgr.set(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP,
SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() +
60 * 1000, alarmIntent);
// Set the alarm to start at approximately 2:00 p.m.
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 14);
// With setInexactRepeating(), you have to use one of the AlarmManager interval
// constants--in this case, AlarmManager.INTERVAL_DAY.
alarmMgr.setInexactRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(),
5000, alarmIntent);
and in alarm reciever class call web service and update the map position
public class AlarmReceiverextends WakefulBroadcastReceiver {
new DownloadJSON().execute();
setUpMapIfNeeded(rootView);
}

Get longitude and latitude values to post into url - Android

I am creating an Android app that pulls XML data. I want to be able to use the longitude and latitude values to post into the web link to get specific XML data for the users current location.
Here is my code so far, which does not work:
public class GeoSplashActivity extends Activity {
LocationManager lm = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
Location location = lm.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
double longitude = location.getLongitude();
double latitude = location.getLatitude();
private String GEORSSFEEDURL = "http://www.socialalertme.com/mobilealerts.xml?lat="+latitude+"lng="+longitude+"&distance=20";
GeoRSSFeed feed3;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.splash2);
ConnectivityManager conMgr = (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
if (conMgr.getActiveNetworkInfo() == null
&& !conMgr.getActiveNetworkInfo().isConnected()
&& !conMgr.getActiveNetworkInfo().isAvailable()) {
// No connectivity - Show alert
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
builder.setMessage(
"Unable to reach server, \nPlease check your connectivity.")
.setTitle("TD RSS Reader")
.setCancelable(false)
.setPositiveButton("Exit",
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog,
int id) {
finish();
}
});
AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
alert.show();
} else {
// Connected - Start parsing
new AsyncLoadXMLFeed().execute();
}
}
private class AsyncLoadXMLFeed extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {
#Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
// Obtain feed
GeoDOMParser myParser = new GeoDOMParser();
feed3 = myParser.parseXml(GEORSSFEEDURL);
return null;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
super.onPostExecute(result);
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putSerializable("feed", feed3);
// launch List activity
Intent intent = new Intent(GeoSplashActivity.this, GeoListActivity.class);
intent.putExtras(bundle);
startActivity(intent);
// kill this activity
finish();
}
}
}
I have never used the location stuff before, so I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing here. If anyone could give some pointers, I'd really appreciate it!

Hopefully you are not forgetting
<uses-permission android:name=“android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION”></uses-permission>
in your manifest file. This tutorial can help you to get better understanding.
Edit
Google already have provided Training to get current Location.

//Get coordinates if available:
LocationManager lm = (LocationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
Location loc;
double latitude=0,longitude=0;
if ( ( loc=lm.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER) )!=null ){
latitude = loc.getLatitude();
longitude = loc.getLongitude();
}else if( ( loc=lm.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER) )!=null ){
latitude = loc.getLatitude();
longitude = loc.getLongitude();
}
//If any coordinate value is recieved, use it.
if(latitude!=0 || longitude!=0){
String latitude = String.valueOf(latitude);
String longitude = String.valueOf(longitude);
//TODO post into url
}

You should move initialization of location variables to the onCreate method. Also you should also check if location != null:
lm = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
location = lm.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
if (location != null) {
longitude = location.getLongitude();
latitude = location.getLatitude();
GEORSSFEEDURL = "http://www.socialalertme.com/mobilealerts.xml?lat="+latitude+"lng="+longitude+"&distance=20";
} else {
...
}

Okey! This is my GpsFragment, where I get the lng and lat!
I am not done with this yet, so It might not look like much, but it works, also it gives an address from the lng & lat using geocoder

mAddress2 = (TextView) myInflatedView.findViewById(R.id.address_text2);
locationManager = (LocationManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
provider = locationManager.getBestProvider(criteria, false);
Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(provider);
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(provider, 100, 1, this);
if(location != null){
onLocationChanged(location);
Log.v(TAG, "Location available!");
}
else{
mAddress1.setText("No location");
Log.e(TAG, "Location not available!");
}
return myInflatedView;
}
// So i think this is what you need! the 'onLocationChanged'
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
this.location = location;
lat = location.getLatitude();
lng = location.getLongitude();
Geocoder mLocation = new Geocoder(getActivity().getApplicationContext(), Locale.getDefault());
try {
mAddresses = mLocation.getFromLocation(lat, lng, 1);
if(mAddresses != null) {
Address returnedAddress = mAddresses.get(0);
StringBuilder strReturnedAddress = new StringBuilder("Address:\n");
for(int i=0; i<returnedAddress.getMaxAddressLineIndex(); i++) {
strReturnedAddress.append(returnedAddress.getAddressLine(i)).append("\n");
}
// mAddress.setText(strReturnedAddress.toString());
//mAddress1.setText("lat"+lat);

GPS coordinates not properly stored in database from android to php [CLOSE]

do you have any idea why my coordinates keeps changing to xxx.000000 when im storing it to my database. before, it is working properly but when i keep testing it, it's not saving my coordinates properly.
For example i want to store 120.993235 and 14.612364, and then when it's on the database in converts to 120.000000 and 14.000000. Can you help me guys. these are my codes.

Here you set all values after . to zero.
int latitude = (int) (location.getLatitude());
int longitude = (int) (location.getLongitude());
And this:
ILatitude = (double)latitude;
ILongitude = (double)longitude;
won't return the zeroed values.
You can try instead:
ILatitude = location.getLatitude();
ILongitude = location.getLongitude();
