I created the database in Firebase and tried to show the marker in the map. Still not working. what should I do. The app runs but when map activity is opened the app closes. I creates the database manually. I referred this link :- Retrieve location from Firebase and put marker on google map api for android.
This is the code
Map Activity
map.java
import androidx.annotation.NonNull;
import androidx.annotation.Nullable;
import androidx.fragment.app.FragmentActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.CameraUpdate;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.CameraUpdateFactory;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.OnMapReadyCallback;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.LatLng;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.MarkerOptions;
import com.google.firebase.auth.FirebaseAuth;
import com.google.firebase.database.ChildEventListener;
import com.google.firebase.database.DataSnapshot;
import com.google.firebase.database.DatabaseError;
import com.google.firebase.database.DatabaseReference;
import com.google.firebase.database.FirebaseDatabase;
import com.google.firebase.database.ValueEventListener;
import java.lang.reflect.Array;
import java.util.EventListener;
public class map extends FragmentActivity implements OnMapReadyCallback {
FirebaseDatabase mDatabase;
DatabaseReference mDatabaseReference;
String nameddd;
private GoogleMap mMap;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_map);
// Obtain the SupportMapFragment and get notified when the map is ready to be used.
SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
.findFragmentById(R.id.map);
mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
nameddd = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference("Location").child("Name").toString();
mDatabase = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance();
mDatabaseReference = mDatabase.getReference("Location");
}
@Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
mMap = googleMap;
mDatabaseReference.addChildEventListener(new ChildEventListener() {
@Override
public void onChildAdded(@NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, @Nullable String s) {
LatLng newLocation = new LatLng(dataSnapshot.child("Latitude").getValue(Long.class),dataSnapshot.child("Longitude").getValue(Long.class));
mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(newLocation).title(nameddd)
);
}
@Override
public void onChildChanged(@NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, @Nullable String s) {
}
@Override
public void onChildRemoved(@NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
}
@Override
public void onChildMoved(@NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, @Nullable String s) {
}
@Override
public void onCancelled(@NonNull DatabaseError databaseError) {
}
});
}}
This is the Firebase database structure

|- ABpos: "20"
|- Latitude: "12"
|- Longitude: "22"
|- Name: "Sion"

Answer
You are getting the following error:
com.google.firebase.database.DatabaseException: Failed to convert a value of type java.lang.String to long
Because you are trying to get the value of the Latitude
property as a Long
:
dataSnapshot.child("Latitude").getValue(Long.class)
While in your database is stored as a String.
|- Longitude: "22"
See the equation marks?
To solve this, you should change the type for your Latitude
and Longitude
properties in the database to be of type double
and not String:
|- Longitude: 22.01
And get them accordingly:
double lat = dataSnapshot.child("Latitude").getValue(Double.class)
The latitude and longitude cannot be long
numbers, it should be double
and this is because both contain decimals.
