}
}
}
This code I get from different answer but it did not update in real time.
I tried this code but when maps loads first time marker show current location but when my location is changed marker do not move to new location.

call it in on map ready
public void getLocation(){
new FusedLocationProviderClient(this).getLastLocation()
.addOnCompleteListener(task -> {
Location location = task.getResult();
if(location!=null&&mMap!=null){
mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(
new LatLng(location.getLatitude(),location.getLongitude()),15
));
mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
new Handler().postDelayed(this::getLocation,5000);
}
});
}

Inside your onLocationChanged try like this
mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(currentLocationLatLng, 18));
if(myMarker == null) {
myMarker = mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(currentLocationLatLng)
.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_GREEN)));
} else {
myMarker.setPosition(currentLocationLatLng);
}
This is the better way to move existing marker then clear and create it again.

Here is a Simple method of updating marker as soon as the location changes! As we know the onLocationChanged() methode is called when ever there is a change in location. And here we basically set the marker to the current position. Follow the process given bellow. That works for me and I hope it will do for you as well :)
@RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.N)//This line requires if you are using 25/26 API
@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
//Removing previously added markers here!
mMap.clear();
Log.d(TAG, "Firing onLocationChanged..............................................");
mCurrentLocation = location;
mLastUpdateTime = DateFormat.getTimeInstance().format(new Date());
updateUI();
}
We can simply clear previously added markers using the mMap.clear() where mMap is the GoogleMap object and is also called and assigned in onMapReady() methode. Then we can get current location and set marker in an external method which is here: updateUI();
private void updateUI() {
Log.d(TAG, "UI update initiated .............");
if (null != mCurrentLocation) {
LatLng allLatLang = new LatLng(mCurrentLocation.getLatitude(),mCurrentLocation.getLongitude());
MarkerOptions markerOptions = new MarkerOptions();
markerOptions.position(allLatLang);
markerOptions.title("USER NAME");
markerOptions.snippet("Users Basic Information");
markerOptions.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_ORANGE));
locationMarker = mMap.addMarker(markerOptions);
//You can add this lines if you want to show the realtime data change on any TextView
String lat = String.valueOf(mCurrentLocation.getLatitude());
String lng = String.valueOf(mCurrentLocation.getLongitude());
locationUpdate.setText("At Time: " + mLastUpdateTime + "\n" +
"Latitude: " + lat + "\n" +
"Longitude: " + lng + "\n" +
"Accuracy: " + mCurrentLocation.getAccuracy() + "\n" +
"Provider: " + mCurrentLocation.getProvider());
} else {
Log.d(TAG, "location is null ...............");
}
}
So, when ever the location is changing, the onLocationChanged() method is called and then we are removing the existing markers and setting it again to the new position. Hope this will work out. Let me know if it helps. Thank you.!

Implement OnCameraMoveListener and set new position for existing marker in onCameraMove
@Override
public void onCameraMove() {
mMarker.setPosition(mMap.getCameraPosition().target);
}

You just need to remove the call to removeLocationUpdates() in onLocationChanged():
@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location)
{
mLastLocation = location;
if (mCurrLocationMarker != null)
{
mCurrLocationMarker.remove();
}
//Place current location marker
LatLng latLng = new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());
MarkerOptions markerOptions = new MarkerOptions();
markerOptions.position(latLng);
markerOptions.title("Current Position");
markerOptions.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_ORANGE));
mCurrLocationMarker = mGoogleMap.addMarker(markerOptions);
//move map camera
mGoogleMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(latLng));
mGoogleMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(11));
//Remove this code:
//if (mGoogleApiClient != null)
//{
//LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.removeLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, this);
//}
}
Also add an onResume() Override and re-register for location updates if the Google API Client is not null:
@Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
if (mGoogleApiClient != null &&
ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this,
Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)
== PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, mLocationRequest, this);
}
}
The original code was designed to only get one location, and then remove location updates after the first location comes in.
Bear in mind that keeping a location listener active for long periods will cause more battery drain.
Also note that for testing purposes, you can set more aggressive values in the location request:
@Override
public void onConnected(Bundle bundle)
{
mLocationRequest = new LocationRequest();
mLocationRequest.setInterval(1000);
mLocationRequest.setFastestInterval(1000);
mLocationRequest.setSmallestDisplacement(0.1F); //added
mLocationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY); //changed
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this,
Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)
== PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED)
{
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, mLocationRequest, this);
}
}
Making the above changes, this code works for me:
public class MapLocationActivity extends AppCompatActivity
implements OnMapReadyCallback,
GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks,
GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener,
LocationListener {
GoogleMap mGoogleMap;
SupportMapFragment mapFrag;
LocationRequest mLocationRequest;
GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;
Location mLastLocation;
Marker mCurrLocationMarker;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
checkLocationPermission();
}
mapFrag = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map);
mapFrag.getMapAsync(this);
}
@Override
public void onPause() {
super.onPause();
//stop location updates when Activity is no longer active
if (mGoogleApiClient != null) {
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.removeLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, this);
}
}
@Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
if (mGoogleApiClient != null &&
ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this,
