How to get current location in MAPBOX in android

Question

As I am using MAPBOX in my application. I don't know how to get current lat and long. I used this way to get the current location.But its showing null object reference.Please help me to solve my problem

mapView = (MapView)view.findViewById(R.id.mapView);
mapView.setStyleUrl(Style.MAPBOX_STREETS);
mapView.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

//Add a mapBoxMap
mapView.getMapAsync(new OnMapReadyCallback() {
    @Override
    public void onMapReady(MapboxMap mapboxMap) {
        mapboxMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
        // Set the origin waypoint to the devices location
        Position origin = Position.fromCoordinates(
            mapboxMap.getMyLocation().getLongitude(),
            mapboxMap.getMyLocation().getLatitude()
        );

        Log.i("RR","mapboxMap.getMyLocation();"+origin);
        // Log.i("RR","mapboxMap.getMyLocation();"+mapboxMap.getMyLocation().getLongitude());
        mapboxMap.getUiSettings().setZoomControlsEnabled(true);
        mapboxMap.getUiSettings().setZoomGesturesEnabled(true);
        mapboxMap.getUiSettings().setScrollGesturesEnabled(true);
        mapboxMap.getUiSettings().setAllGesturesEnabled(true);
    }
});

Here is the Xml:

    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context="com.example.joltatech.selfmadmap.Main2Activity">

    <com.mapbox.mapboxsdk.maps.MapView
        android:id="@+id/mapView"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        app:mapbox_cameraTargetLat="40.73581"
        app:mapbox_cameraTargetLng="-73.99155"
        app:mapbox_styleUrl="@string/mapbox_style_satellite_streets"
        app:mapbox_cameraZoom="11"/>
</RelativeLayout>

Here is the Gradle Files:

implementation 'com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-sdk:6.3.0'
implementation 'com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-plugin-locationlayer:0.6.0'

and in the Project level Gradle use:

jcenter()
mavenCentral()

mapboxMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true); has been deprecated.

You need to use locationEngine to get lat and long like this

    locationEngine = new LostLocationEngine(MainActivity.this);
    locationEngine.setPriority(LocationEnginePriority.HIGH_ACCURACY);
    locationEngine.setInterval(5000);
    locationEngine.activate();
    Location lastLocation = locationEngine.getLastLocation();

use lastLocation.getLatitude(), lastLocation.getLongitude()
