Xamarin.Essentials "The current Activity can not be detected. Ensure that you have called Init in your Activity or Application class."

My application gives an error:

The current Activity can not be detected. Ensure that you have called Init in your Activity or Application class.

I use the emulator Genymotion. GPS enabled

public async Task btnAdd_Click()
    {
        try
        {
            var request = new GeolocationRequest(GeolocationAccuracy.Medium);
            var location = await Geolocation.GetLocationAsync(request);

            if (location != null)
            {
                string note = "GPS: Latitude-" + location.Latitude + " Longitude-" + location.Longitude;
            }
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            // Unable to get location
        }
    }

First you need init Xamarin Essentials in OnCreate function from MainActivity.cs 

protected override void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
    ...

    Xamarin.Essentials.Platform.Init(this, savedInstanceState);

    ...
}

Then overide the function should work

public override void OnRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, string[] permissions, [GeneratedEnum] Permission[] grantResults)
{
    Xamarin.Essentials.Platform.OnRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
    base.OnRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
}

you can use 

using Plugin.Permissions;
using Plugin.CurrentActivity;

and in the MainActivity.cs file, OnCreate Method, insert:

CrossCurrentActivity.Current.Init(this, savedInstanceState);

            if (location != null)

                txtnumber.Text = "GPS: Latitude-" + location.Latitude + " Longitude-" + location.Longitude;
            }
        }
        catch (FeatureNotSupportedException fnsEx)

            // Handle not enabled on device exception
        }
        catch (PermissionException pEx)
        {
            // Handle permission exception
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            // Unable to get location
            txtnumber.Text = ex.Message.ToString();
        }

    }

Like the error states, did you add this line:

Xamarin.Essentials.Platform.Init(this, bundle);

In your MainActivity.cs in the OnCreate method?
