android - Show Current Location inside Google Map Fragment

Question

I am currently working on a Fragment with a Google Map in it. Once a user visits that fragment his map should zoom and focus on his location. However, it shows map of the world and not nearby location (near user):

@SuppressWarnings("unused")
public class DeferredMapFragment extends MapFragment implements GoogleMap.OnCameraChangeListener, OnMapReadyCallback, GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks, GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener,
            LocationListener {

    }

        if (pendingActions != null) {
            int i = pendingActions.size();
            while (i > 0) {
                pendingActions.pop().run();
                --i;

        }

Answer 1

This is similar to my other answer here, however, this is different due to the fact that you are extending the MapFragment and have your custom behavior implemented inside the Fragment.

Here is an example Fragment that extends SupportMapFragment, on launch it will get the user's current location, place a Marker, and zoom in:

public class MapFragment extends SupportMapFragment
        implements OnMapReadyCallback,
        GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks,
        GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener,
        LocationListener {

    GoogleMap mGoogleMap;
    SupportMapFragment mapFrag;
    LocationRequest mLocationRequest;
    GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;
    Location mLastLocation;
    Marker mCurrLocationMarker;

    @Override
    public void onResume() {
        super.onResume();

        setUpMapIfNeeded();
    }

    private void setUpMapIfNeeded() {

        if (mGoogleMap == null) {
            getMapAsync(this);
        }
    }
    @Override
    public void onPause() {
        super.onPause();

        //stop location updates when Activity is no longer active
        if (mGoogleApiClient != null) {
            LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.removeLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, this);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap)
    {
        mGoogleMap=googleMap;
        mGoogleMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_HYBRID);

                } else {

                    // permission denied, boo! Disable the
                    // functionality that depends on this permission.
                    Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "permission denied", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                }
                return;
            }

            // other 'case' lines to check for other
            // permissions this app might request
        }
    }

}

Since the Location permission request needs to go through the Activity, you will need to route the result from the Activity to the Fragment's onRequestPermissionsResult() method:

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    MapFragment mapFragment;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
        setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

        mapFragment = new MapFragment();

        FragmentTransaction transaction = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
        transaction.add(R.id.mapframe, mapFragment);
        transaction.commit();
    }

    @Override
    public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode,
                                           String permissions[], int[] grantResults) {
        if (requestCode == MapFragment.MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_LOCATION){
            mapFragment.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
        }
        else {
            super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
        }
    }

}

The layout just contains a FrameLayout where the MapFragment goes.

activity_main.xml:

Result

First prompt for the Location permission:

Once the Location permission is granted, show the current location with a Marker:

If the user ever denies or revokes the Location permission, this will be shown on app launch:

First, the explanation:

Then, the Location permission request:
