FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation always null
The fused Location Provider will only maintain background location if at least one client is connected to it. Now just turning on the location service will not guarantee to store the last known location.
Once the first client connects, it will immediately try to get a location. If your activity is the first client to connect and getLastLocation() is invoked right away in onConnected(), that might not be enough time for the first location to arrive..
I suggest you to launch the Maps app first, so that there is at least some confirmed location, and then test your app.
FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation is always null, even onCreated()
2 Reson for this
- getLastLocation() not give location always. You have to write location update also
- In some devices some times google play service won't connect
So for avoid this you have to fetch location from GPS also, consider following code
add this dependencies in your build gradle
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:10.2.1'
compile 'cn.pedant.sweetalert:library:1.3'
Add this Class for getting location -- LocationResolver.java

In your activity follow these step
Create and initialize LocationResolver variable
private LocationResolver mLocationResolver;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mLocationResolver=new LocationResolver(this);
}
And also add these lines into your activity
@Override
protected void onStart() {
super.onStart();
mLocationResolver.onStart();
}
@Override
protected void onStop() {
super.onStop();
mLocationResolver.onStop();
}
@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
mLocationResolver.onDestroy();
}
@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, @NonNull String[] permissions, @NonNull int[] grantResults) {
super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
mLocationResolver.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
}
Usage: When ever you want location use this code for getting location
void retrieveLocation() {
mLocationResolver.resolveLocation(this, new LocationResolver.OnLocationResolved() {
@Override
public void onLocationResolved(Location location) {
// Do what ever you want
}
});
}
FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation always returns null(android 6.0,api 23)
There is never a guarantee that you get a location from getLastLocation(). Usually that means that nothing that no application has used the GPS to get your location so there is nothing cached.
Typically all you have to do is open google maps or something that a location will be cached once it has a lock
FusedLocationApi method getLastLocation() always null during first call
You are asking for FINE_LOCATION permission in onConnected(), but onConnected is called when GPS is connected. That's the reason you are getting permission error.
You should remove this:
mCurrentLocation = LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation(mGoogleApiClient);
From onConnected(). Add this to getCurrentLocation() with permission request:
public void getCurrentLocation(){
//Request permission here
mCurrentLocation = LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation(mGoogleApiClient);
if (mCurrentLocation != null){
lat = mCurrentLocation.getLatitude();
lon = mCurrentLocation.getLongitude();
Log.i(TAG, "getCurrentLocation(): " + String.valueOf(mCurrentLocation.getLatitude()));
Log.i(TAG, "getCurrentLocation(): " + String.valueOf(mCurrentLocation.getLongitude()));
}
}
Then also call this method in onConnected():
@Override
public void onConnected(Bundle connectionHint) {
Log.i(TAG, "Connected to GoogleApiClient");
getCurrentLocation();
}
location data null with .getLastLocation() FusedLocationProviderClient
When getLastLocation() is null, you need to make a LocationRequest
private LocationRequest locationRequest;
private LocationCallback locationCallback;
...
locationRequest = LocationRequest.create();
locationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
locationRequest.setInterval(20 * 1000);
locationCallback = new LocationCallback() {
@Override
public void onLocationResult(LocationResult locationResult) {
if (locationResult == null) {
return;
}
for (Location location : locationResult.getLocations()) {
if (location != null) {
wayLatitude = location.getLatitude();
wayLongitude = location.getLongitude();
txtLocation.setText(String.format(Locale.US, "%s -- %s", wayLatitude, wayLongitude));
}
}
}
};
mFusedLocationClient.requestLocationUpdates(locationRequest, locationCallback, Looper.getMainLooper())
If you don't need continuous updates, you can remove the request once you've received it.
mFusedLocationClient.removeLocationUpdates(locationCallback);
More info here: https://medium.com/@droidbyme/get-current-location-using-fusedlocationproviderclient-in-android-cb7ebf5ab88e
Fused Location always returns null
Add this code to your onConnected, thats where it would get Last Known Location.
private static Location mLastLocation;
private static GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;
private static Context context;
// added
private LocationRequest mLocationRequest;
private Double latitude;
private Double longitude;
private String TAG = ""; // set your TAG
@Override
public void onConnected(Bundle bundle) {
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
return;
}
startLocationUpdates();
mLastLocation = LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation(mGoogleApiClient);
if(mLastLocation == null){
startLocationUpdates();
}
if (mLastLocation != null) {
latitude = mLocation.getLatitude();
longitude = mLocation.getLongitude();
// set your tag
Log.d(TAG, String.valueOf(latitude));
Log.d(TAG, String.valueOf(longitude));
} else {
Toast.makeText(context, "Location not Detected, Did you turn off your location?", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
protected void startLocationUpdates() {
// Create the location request
mLocationRequest = LocationRequest.create()
.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY)
.setInterval(30 * 1000)
.setFastestInterval(5 * 1000);
// Request location updates
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
return;
}
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, mLocationRequest, this);
}
And remove synchronized from your method, Just make it public. Something like this below:
public void buildGoogleApiClient() { }
