I want to make my map focus on my current location when opening the MapActivity
.
I have a problem with a specific line:
mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
Call requires permission which may be rejected by user:code should explicitly check to see if permission is availabe with ('checkPermission') or explicitly handle with potential 'SecurityException'.
How can I resolve this problem? I've read some things when I searched this issue and I couldn't find something helpful.
This is the full code:
public class MapsActivity extends FragmentActivity implements OnMapReadyCallback {
private static final String FIREBASE_URL="https://haerev.firebaseio.com/";
private Firebase firebaseRef;
private GoogleMap mMap;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_maps2);
Firebase.setAndroidContext(this);
firebaseRef = new Firebase(FIREBASE_URL);
SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
.findFragmentById(R.id.map);
mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
setUpMapIfNeeded();
}
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();
mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
// Check if we were successful in obtaining the map.
if (mMap != null) {
mMap.setOnMyLocationChangeListener(new GoogleMap.OnMyLocationChangeListener() {
@Override
public void onMyLocationChange(Location arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(new LatLng(arg0.getLatitude(), arg0.getLongitude())).title("It's Me!"));
}
});
}
}
}
After reading some comments, and read this issue:http://developer.android.com/training/permissions/requesting.html
I added these lines:
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();
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(MapsActivity.this,
Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)
!= PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(MapsActivity.this,
Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)) {
checkSelfPermission("You have to accept to enjoy the most hings in this app");
} else {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(MapsActivity.this,
new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION},
MY_PERMISSION_REQUEST_ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION);
}
}
mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
// Check if we were successful in obtaining the map.
if (mMap != null) {
mMap.setOnMyLocationChangeListener(new GoogleMap.OnMyLocationChangeListener() {
@Override
public void onMyLocationChange(Location arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(new LatLng(arg0.getLatitude(), arg0.getLongitude())).title("It's Me!"));
}
});
}
}
}
But now I have a new problem. It isn't recognize the line
"MY_PERMISSION_REQUEST_ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION".
I guess I'm using it in a wrong way. How should I use it?
After massive research on the web, this is what is working for me:
private void setUpMapIfNeeded() {
if (mMap == null) {
// Try to obtain the map from the SupportMapFragment.
mMap = ((SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map))
.getMap();
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)
== PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
} else {
Toast.makeText(MapsActivity.this, "You have to accept to enjoy all app's services!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)
== PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
}
}
if (mMap != null) {
mMap.setOnMyLocationChangeListener(new GoogleMap.OnMyLocationChangeListener() {
@Override
public void onMyLocationChange(Location arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
CameraUpdate center= CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(new LatLng(arg0.getLatitude(), arg0.getLongitude()));
CameraUpdate zoom=CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(12);
mMap.moveCamera(center);
mMap.animateCamera(zoom);
}
});
}
}
}
More clear Implementation:
@Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
MapsInitializer.initialize(getContext());
mGoogleMap = googleMap;
if(checkPermission())
mGoogleMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
else askPermission();
}
// Check for permission to access Location
private boolean checkPermission() {
Log.d(TAG, "checkPermission()");
// Ask for permission if it wasn't granted yet
return (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(getActivity(), Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)
== PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED );
}
// Asks for permission
private void askPermission() {
Log.d(TAG, "askPermission()");
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(
getActivity(),
new String[] { Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION },
REQ_PERMISSION
);
}
@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, @NonNull String[] permissions, @NonNull int[] grantResults) {
Log.d(TAG, "onRequestPermissionsResult()");
super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
switch ( requestCode ) {
case REQ_PERMISSION: {
if ( grantResults.length > 0
&& grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED ){
// Permission granted
if(checkPermission())
mGoogleMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
} else {
// Permission denied
}
break;
}
}
