• how can show current location on google map on android marshmallow? 2 answers

we have google maps api working; however, current location not show in our app show when redirected google maps(app). want blue dot show in our app , not when forwarded google maps(app).

here code snippets (we using android studio v2.3.3):

can offer guidance, please?

here our mapactivity.java

package com.example.administrator.bubbleproject; import android.manifest; import android.content.pm.packagemanager; import android.support.v4.app.activitycompat; import android.support.v4.app.fragmentactivity; import android.os.bundle;  import com.google.android.gms.maps.cameraupdatefactory; import com.google.android.gms.maps.googlemap; import com.google.android.gms.maps.onmapreadycallback; import com.google.android.gms.maps.supportmapfragment; import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.latlng; import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.markeroptions; public class mapactivity extends fragmentactivity implements onmapreadycallback {     private googlemap mmap;     @override     protected void oncreate(bundle savedinstancestate) {         super.oncreate(savedinstancestate);         setcontentview(r.layout.activity_map);         // obtain supportmapfragment , notified when map ready used.         supportmapfragment mapfragment = (supportmapfragment) getsupportfragmentmanager()                 .findfragmentbyid(r.id.map);         mapfragment.getmapasync(this);     }     @override     public void onmapready(googlemap googlemap) {         mmap = googlemap;         latlng losangeles = new latlng(34.0522, -118.2437);         mmap.addmarker(new markeroptions().position(losangeles).title("los angeles"));         mmap.movecamera(cameraupdatefactory.newlatlngzoom(losangeles, 18.0f));         if (activitycompat.checkselfpermission(this, manifest.permission.access_fine_location) != packagemanager.permission_granted && activitycompat.checkselfpermission(this, manifest.permission.access_coarse_location) != packagemanager.permission_granted) {             return;         }         mmap.setmylocationenabled(true);     } } 

here our manifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     package="com.example.administrator.bubbleproject">      <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.access_fine_location" />     <application         android:allowbackup="true"         android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"         android:label="bubble"         android:roundicon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"         android:supportsrtl="true"         android:theme="@style/apptheme">         <activity android:name=".mainactivity"             android:parentactivityname="com.example.administrator.bubbleproject.mainactivity">             <intent-filter>                 <action android:name="android.intent.action.main" />                 <category android:name="android.intent.category.launcher" />             </intent-filter>         </activity>          <activity             android:name=".tracker1pageactivity"             android:parentactivityname=".mainactivity" />          <activity android:name=".settingsactivity" />         <activity android:name=".setupactivity" />          <meta-data             android:name="com.google.android.geo.api_key"             android:value="@string/google_maps_key" />         <activity             android:name=".mapactivity"             android:label="@string/title_activity_map">             <intent-filter>                 <action android:name="android.intent.action.main" />                 <category android:name="android.intent.category.launcher" />             </intent-filter>         </activity>     </application>  </manifest> 

here screenshots of my app , forwarded google maps.

my guess in onmapready() permission check failing , it's executing return; instead of calling mmap.setmylocationenabled(true); set breakpoint , check it.

my code check looks following:

public static boolean havelocationpermission(context context) {     return contextcompat.checkselfpermission(context, permission.access_fine_location) == packagemanager.permission_granted ||                contextcompat.checkselfpermission(context, permission.access_coarse_location) == packagemanager.permission_granted; } 

then call snippet when want check permission:

// enable location if have permission if (havelocationpermission(getactivity())) {     try     {         mmap.setmylocationenabled(true);     }     catch (securityexception e) {} } 

we have location services turned on, i'm not sure whether necessary map show location (use googleapiclient locationservices.api).

edit: duplicate issue looks need location services turned on. https://stackoverflow.com/a/34582595/1022886
