You are implementing LocationListener in your activity MainActivity. The call for concurrent location updates will therefor be like this:
mLocationClient.requestLocationUpdates(mLocationRequest, this);
Be sure that the LocationListener you're implementing is from the google api, that is import this:
import com.google.android.gms.location.LocationListener;
and not this:
import android.location.LocationListener;
and it should work just fine.
It's also important that the LocationClient really is connected before you do this. I suggest you don't call it in the onCreate or onStart methods, but in onResume. It is all explained quite well in the tutorial for Google Location Api: https://developer.android.com/training/location/index.html

I use this one:
LocationManager.requestLocationUpdates(String provider, long minTime, float minDistance, LocationListener listener)
For example, using a 1s interval:
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,1000,0,this);
the time is in milliseconds, the distance is in meters.
This automatically calls:
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
//Code here, location.getAccuracy(), location.getLongitude() etc...
}
I also had these included in the script but didnt actually use them:
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {}
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {}
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {}
In short:
public class GPSClass implements LocationListener {
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
// Called when a new location is found by the network location provider.
Log.i("Message: ","Location changed, " + location.getAccuracy() + " , " + location.getLatitude()+ "," + location.getLongitude());
}
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {}
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {}
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {}
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
locationManager = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,1000,0,this);
}
}

Firstly add this implementation in your build.gradle file
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:11.2.0'//include the latest version of play services
After that implement, (implements LocationListener) in your activity or fragment and after that implement its function and then
call this method in your onCreate() getLocation();
and then in this function add these lines
protected void getLocation() {
if (isLocationEnabled(MainActivity.this)) {
locationManager = (LocationManager) this.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
criteria = new Criteria();
bestProvider = String.valueOf(locationManager.getBestProvider(criteria, true)).toString();
//You can still do this if you like, you might get lucky:
Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(bestProvider);
if (location != null) {
Log.e("TAG", "GPS is on");
latitude = location.getLatitude();
longitude = location.getLongitude();
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "latitude:" + latitude + " longitude:" + longitude, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
searchNearestPlace(voice2text);
}
else{
//This is what you need:
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(bestProvider, 1000, 0, this);
}
}
else
{
//prompt user to enable location....
//.................
}
}
After that in your onLocationChanged(Location location)
add these lines of code
@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
//Hey, a non null location! Sweet!
//remove location callback:
locationManager.removeUpdates(this);
//open the map:
latitude = location.getLatitude();
longitude = location.getLongitude();
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "latitude:" + latitude + " longitude:" + longitude, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
searchNearestPlace(voice2text);
}
and you are set to go!!!! Cheers Happy Coding
It's work for me. Based on Official docs, every 10 seconds updates the Toast and shows your location:
private FusedLocationProviderClient fusedLocationClient;
private LocationRequest locationRequest;
private LocationCallback locationCallback;
@Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
startLocationUpdates();
}
private void startLocationUpdates() {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
if (checkSelfPermission(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && checkSelfPermission(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// TODO: Consider calling
// Activity#requestPermissions
// here to request the missing permissions, and then overriding
// public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions,
// int[] grantResults)
// to handle the case where the user grants the permission. See the documentation
// for Activity#requestPermissions for more details.
return;
}
}
fusedLocationClient.requestLocationUpdates(locationRequest,
locationCallback,
Looper.getMainLooper());
}
@Override
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
stopLocationUpdates();
}
private void stopLocationUpdates() {
fusedLocationClient.removeLocationUpdates(locationCallback);
}
add bellow codes to onCreate method:
fusedLocationClient = LocationServices.getFusedLocationProviderClient(this);
locationRequest = LocationRequest.create();
locationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
locationRequest.setInterval(2*5000);
locationCallback=new LocationCallback(){
@Override
public void onLocationResult(LocationResult locationResult) {
if (locationResult == null) {
return;
}
for (Location location : locationResult.getLocations()) {
// if (location != null) {
String Lat = String.valueOf(location.getLatitude());
String Lon = String.valueOf(location.getLongitude());
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), Lat + " - " + Lon, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
// }
}
}
};
