Android Location DistanceTo null - java

package com.competitivegamingaudio;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.location.*;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.widget.*;
import com.google.android.maps.*;;
public class FindMyFriendsActivity extends Activity {
private static final String TAG = "FindMyFriendsActivity";
public TextView LocationLabel;
public TextView DistanceLabel;
public MapView myMapView;
public Location oldlocation;
public Location currentlocation;
#Override
public void onResume()
{
super.onResume();
LocationManager locationManager=(LocationManager) this.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER,0,0,locationListener);
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,0,0,locationListener);
}
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
LocationLabel=(TextView) findViewById(R.id.LocationLabel);
DistanceLabel=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.DistanceLabel);
}
LocationListener locationListener =new LocationListener()
{
public void onLocationChanged (Location location)
{
currentlocation=new Location(location);
LocationLabel.setText(location.toString());
oldlocation=new Location(location);
DistanceLabel.setText("Distance: "+calculatedistance(currentlocation,oldlocation));
}
public String calculatedistance(Location a, Location b)
{
a.distanceTo(b);
return ""+a;
}
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras)
{}
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider)
{
}
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider)
{}
};
}
I'm having trouble getting this code to work properly. I want to be able to calculate the distance between two Locations. The initial location that's being passed to the onLocationChanged method is working (which proves I have the right conditions), because when I do LocationLabel.setText(location.toString()); that works properly without getting any null pointer exceptions. However, when the calculatedistance method is called in line 49, the a.distanceTo(b); line fails on line 54. Any idea why the distanceTo method keeps failing?

OK, there are a lot of things I'd change about your code but here's not the place. To attempt to fix your problem try this...
// package and imports here
public class FindMyFriendsActivity extends Activity {
// TAG, TextViews, MapView, Locations as before but add
// LocationManager and LocationListener here as below...
LocationManager locationManager = null;
LocationListener locationListener = null;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
LocationLabel = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.LocationLabel);
DistanceLabel = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.DistanceLabel);
locationManager=(LocationManager) this.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
locationListener = new LocationListener() {
// Put LocationListener methods here
}
}
#Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 0, 0, locationListener);
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0, locationListener);
}
}

Solved by copying DistanceLabel from my Java code and pasting it over the similar DistanceLabel in main.xml. All the characters appear the same but it fixed it. Perhaps looking at it in a hex editor would help but for now I'm just glad it's working. Thanks MisterSquonk.

YouTube Android Player API - ExceptionInInitializerError

Note: I'm using the YouTube Android Player API
Expected behavior:
The activity remains in portrait mode when the video is not fullscreen (Enforced by AndroidManifest ok).
The activity is set to landscape orientation when the video enters fullscreen mode (ok).
The activity returns to portrait orientation when the user exits fullscreen mode (ExceptionInInitializerError occurs here).

Looks like the application is crashing when restarting because of a configuration change
https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/runtime-changes.html
You can disable the automatic activity recreation for orientation changes, and handle it yourself.
To do that, add
android:configChanges="orientation|screenLayout|screenSize"
With orientation alone it probably works, but the other ones I think were triggered also on some devices.
You can then override onConfigurationChanged() to do stuff on an orientation change if you need it, like showing / hiding views, etc.. as Android will not recreate your layouts automatically (that's what it does when restarts the activity on an orientation change)
So you can do:
#Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(final Configuration newConfiguration) {
Log.wtf(
"Orientation",
newConfiguration.orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT
? "portrait"
: "landscape"
);
}

I didn't like provided solutions as it imposed on my layouts and architecture.
Here's what I did to make it work. If you look at your stacktrace the ClassNotFoundException is coming from the line on GoogleMaps. So if we just fix that, the issue is gone.
GoogleMaps pukes/throw an error when the savedInstanceState has other items in it besides it's own. The solution is to just give GoogleMaps it's own dedicated bundle.
// class property
private static final String KEY_MAP_SAVED_STATE = "mapState";
// class methods
#Override
public void onViewCreated(View view, #Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState);
mapView = findMapView(); // make your own method here
Bundle mapState = (savedInstanceState != null)
? savedInstanceState.getBundle(KEY_MAP_SAVED_STATE): null;
mapView.onCreate(mapState);
}
#Override
public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
Bundle mapState = new Bundle();
mapView.onSaveInstanceState(mapState);
outState.putBundle(KEY_MAP_SAVED_STATE, mapState);
}
One thing to note is I'm not using the SupportMapFragment. I'm using a MapView directly. You may have to extend the SupportMapFragment so you can catch the hook methods and provide a blank/clean bundle
Upon rotation, your SupportMapFragment gets destroyed and recreated. Before it's destroyed, it writes its current state to a Parcel, to be used in restoring its state when recreated. The Fragment's saved state will include the state of its child Views, and since you've nested a Toolbar within it, it attempts to save and restore that, as well. The Toolbar class does not have an inner class SavedState necessary for that, so this process fails when trying to restore the Toolbar instance from the Parcel.
The solution is to not nest the Toolbar - or any other View, for that matter - within the <fragment> element. Instead, pull the <include> out of the <fragment>, and put them both in another ViewGroup; for example, a vertical LinearLayout, or a RelativeLayout.
Changing activity_map.xml to this worked, thanks again Mike.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">

</RelativeLayout>
I had a similar problem with my custom view and found this solution.
I noticed that this crash occurred when I extended RecyclerView or AppCompatSpinner and needed to save the state. The crash will probably happen for other views as well.
Basically the crash is caused by a bug in AbsSavedState as mentioned here.
And the crash only occurs when the constructor of the SavedState is called without a class loader. It seemed like this was an old issue however I started getting crash reports for Android 9 and 10.
So the fix was to change:
public SavedState(Parcel source) {
super(source);
//...
}
to:
public SavedState(Parcel source) {
super(source, LinearLayoutManager.class.getClassLoader());
//...
}
Edit
I was on the right track, but then I was looking at some Android code and found out that there was actually a constructor missing that caused the crash. So I had the following constructor for the SavedState:
SavedState(Parcel in)
{
super(in);
//...
}
And I needed to add the following:
#RequiresApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.N)
SavedState(Parcel in, ClassLoader loader)
{
super(in, loader);
//...
}
And then I needed to change the creator:
public static final Creator<SavedState> CREATOR = new ClassLoaderCreator<SavedState>()
{
#Override
public SavedState createFromParcel(Parcel source, ClassLoader loader)
{
return Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.N ? new SavedState(source, loader) : new SavedState(source);
}
#Override
public SavedState createFromParcel(Parcel source)
{
return createFromParcel(source, null);
}
public SavedState[] newArray(int size)
{
return new SavedState[size];
}
};

Error inflating class in a view

I've already saw questions suggestions but I didn't find my answer.

public Nine00SecondsCameraView(Context context){
super(context, null);
}
public Nine00SecondsCameraView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);

}
btw, i am using this sdk: http://livestreamsdk.com/
I solved adding constructors for this three and four arguments:
SurfaceView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr)
SurfaceView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr, int defStyleRes)
Like the android documentation says.

Change following line
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
to
setContentView(R.layout.activity_links);
Seems like your using different layouts:
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
vs
activity_links.xml

does anybody know how i can fix this?
thanks in advance
Correct setup
First off you need to check if the device has the correct Google Play services, if it hasn't got it properly set up, you will not be able to use the map at all.
if (GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(this) != ConnectionResult.SUCCESS) {
// Handle the case here
}
Second, you don't get any guarantee that the map will be ready, therefore you will need to try to set up the map multiple times, e.g. call this method both from OnCreate(..) and onResume(..).
private void setUpMapIfNeeded() {
// Do a null check to confirm that we have not already instantiated the map.
if (mMap == null) {
// Try to obtain the map from the SupportMapFragment.
mMap = ((SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();
// Check if we were successful in obtaining the map.
if (mMap != null) {
// here you can setup the map the way you want
}
}
}
Your error
You are getting a NullPointerException when you access the SupportMapFragment? Check the following:
Are you sure that you have included the android-support-v4.jar support library?
Are you sure that R.id.map exists?
Do you have the google play services lib correctly included in your project?
If you still run into problems you should include the xml for the map fragment.
EDIT
Your XML setup should have this
class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment", i.e. remove the android:name attribute from fragment and add the class.
In your xml file you wrote:
android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"
and in your java code you can access it by
SupportMapFragment mapFrag = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map);
So just you have to need to change from
android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"
to
android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
in your xml file.
Simply Replace
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android
android:id="#+id/map"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment" />
with this
