I am new to programming and am following the Google Location API tutorial. I have followed all the steps properly, however, the following code gives me error at getlatitude() and getlongitude(). Error: Cannot resolve method getlatitude(). Would be great if someone could point to the issue. One more thing to note, the code seems to never use the android.location.Location class and I hoped the getlatitude() will come from there.
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.widget.TextView;
import com.google.android.gms.common.ConnectionResult;
import com.google.android.gms.common.api.GoogleApiClient;
import com.google.android.gms.common.api.GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks;
import com.google.android.gms.common.api.GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener;
import com.google.android.gms.location.LocationServices;
import android.location.Location;
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements ConnectionCallbacks, OnConnectionFailedListener {
protected GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;
/**
* Represents a geographical location.
*/
protected String mLastLocation;
protected static final String TAG = "basic-location-sample";
protected TextView mLatitudeText;
protected TextView mLongitudeText;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mLatitudeText = (TextView) findViewById((R.id.latitude_text));
mLongitudeText = (TextView) findViewById((R.id.longitude_text));
buildGoogleApiClient();
}
protected synchronized void buildGoogleApiClient() {
mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
.addConnectionCallbacks(this)
.addOnConnectionFailedListener((OnConnectionFailedListener) this)
.addApi(LocationServices.API)
.build();
}
@Override
protected void onStart() {
super.onStart();
mGoogleApiClient.connect();
}
@Override
protected void onStop() {
super.onStop();
if (mGoogleApiClient.isConnected()) {
mGoogleApiClient.disconnect();
}
}
@Override
public void onConnected(Bundle connectionHint) {
mLastLocation = String.valueOf(LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation(
mGoogleApiClient));
if (mLastLocation!= null) {
mLatitudeText.setText(String.valueOf(mLastLocation.getLatitude()));
mLongitudeText.setText(String.valueOf(mLastLocation.getLongitude()));
}
}
@Override
public void onConnectionSuspended(int i) {
Log.i(TAG, "Connection suspended");
mGoogleApiClient.connect();
}
@Override
public void onConnectionFailed(ConnectionResult result) {
Log.i(TAG, "Connection failed: ConnectionResult.getErrorCode() = " + result.getErrorCode());
}
}
Look at the type of mLastLocation
:
protected String mLastLocation;
String
doesn't have getLatitude
and getLongitude
methods. Your variable should be of type Location
, and initialized without the String.valueOf
call:
protected Location mLastLocation;
...
mLastLocation = LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation(mGoogleApiClient);
