"My location" not shown on map

[sreekanth-krishnan]

I'm trying to use location layer to show user location in the map because 'setMyLocationEnabled' is deprecated.

Below is my code

    @SuppressWarnings( {"MissingPermission"})
    private void enableLocationPlugin() {
        // Check if permissions are enabled and if not request
        if (PermissionsManager.areLocationPermissionsGranted(getContext())) {
            // Create a location engine instance
            initializeLocationEngine();

            locationPlugin = new LocationLayerPlugin(((MapView)mapFragment.getView()), mGoogleMap, locationEngine);
            locationPlugin.setLocationLayerEnabled(true);
        }/* else {
            permissionsManager = new PermissionsManager(this);
            permissionsManager.requestLocationPermissions(this);
        }*/
    }

    @SuppressWarnings( {"MissingPermission"})
    private void initializeLocationEngine() {
        locationEngine = new LocationEngineProvider(getContext()).obtainBestLocationEngineAvailable();
        locationEngine.setPriority(LocationEnginePriority.HIGH_ACCURACY);
        locationEngine.activate();
/*
        Location lastLocation = locationEngine.getLastLocation();
        if (lastLocation != null) {
            setCameraPosition(lastLocation);
        } else {
            locationEngine.addLocationEngineListener(this);
        }*/
    }

I call enableLocationPlugin from onMapReady after checking/requesting permissions.
I'm using SupportMapFragment.

I saw the demo app has some issues and shows the location only after navigating away from the app and returning back to it. But even that's not working in my implementation.

I have this problem. I think until the exact location is fixed.
Need show location at last known location.
Is it a bug?

[adrianbukros]

I have the same issue. Following the official sample code for showing the user location the marker shows up after navigating away from the app and returning back to it.

Which activity in particular? I haven't noticed this issue inside the Location Modes activity.

locationEngine = new LocationEngineProvider(getContext()).obtainBestLocationEngineAvailable();

Inside your dependencies, what location provider are you guys using? LOST, Android, or Google Play Services? Could you try forcing a location update using LocationLayerPlugin.forceLocationUpdate() and see if the layer shows up. Lastly, is there any logging that occurs during the initialization of the plugin which is related to location?

I think I cracked my brain, but I tested two codes:
code1 :

this.map?.addOnMapClickListener { latLng -> 
            val testLocation = Location("fused")
            testLocation.latitude = latLng.latitude
            testLocation.longitude = latLng.longitude
            testLocation.accuracy = 100.0f
            locationLayerPlugin?.forceLocationUpdate(testLocation)
        }
locationLayerPlugin = LocationLayerPlugin(mapView, mapBox, null, R.style.customLocationLayer)
        locationLayerPlugin?.renderMode = RenderMode.NORMAL
        locationLayerPlugin?.cameraMode = CameraMode.TRACKING_GPS

This code working. When I click on map I see location marker and camera move to them

We see like marker move to tap coordinates and camera move to marker

Code 2 (copy of code 1 with forceLocation update after initialization):

this.map?.addOnMapClickListener { latLng -> 
            val testLocation = Location("fused")
            testLocation.latitude = latLng.latitude
            testLocation.longitude = latLng.longitude
            testLocation.accuracy = 100.0f
            locationLayerPlugin?.forceLocationUpdate(testLocation)
        }
locationLayerPlugin = LocationLayerPlugin(mapView, mapBox, null, R.style.customLocationLayer)
        locationLayerPlugin?.renderMode = RenderMode.NORMAL
        locationLayerPlugin?.cameraMode = CameraMode.TRACKING_GPS
//------Added forceLocationUpdate
val testLocation = Location("fused")
           testLocation.latitude = 59.9374612
            testLocation.longitude = 30.3225837
            testLocation.accuracy = 100.0f
            locationLayerPlugin?.forceLocationUpdate(testLocation)

And now code not working. We see taps but don't see location marker. But camera move to taps.

P.S. I think you can merge my issue #462 to this branch

There's been several optimizations and bug fixes which have been made recently since the last 0.5.0 release. Can you try using the SNAPSHOT in your application and see if you are noticing the same behavior or if the issue is resolved?

[psinetron]

Yes. At 0.6.0-SNAPSHOT it work perfectly

[cammace]

Will work on doing a 0.5.1 release as soon as possible, stay tuned!

[psinetron]

@cammace It not worked on 0.5.3 again

[Andoresu250]

@cammace same here its not working properly.

i am using this dependecies:
implementation ('com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-sdk:6.1.3@aar') implementation 'com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-plugin-locationlayer:0.5.3' implementation 'com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-plugin-offline:0.2.0' implementation 'com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-navigation:0.14.0' implementation ('com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-navigation-ui:0.14.0')
i think that for some reason the GPS is not turning on, the picture 1 its my map activity with the location plugin (followin this guide https://www.mapbox.com/help/android-navigation-sdk/), my current location is not showing.
The picture 2 is google maps app show the location and the GPS icon on toolbar.
The picture 3 is open again my map activity after open google maps app, now my location is showing properly.

I'm facing this issue after updating LocationLayer to 0.8.2

[jpcod3s]

The permission isn't showing and and the user location also on 7.0 update
