use multiple location geofencing

I used this code

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmAtMqljH9M&list=PLdHg5T0SNpN3GBUmpGqjiKGMcBaRT2A-m&index=9&ab_channel=yoursTRULY)

(https://github.com/trulymittal/Geofencing)

That code makes geofence by click and uses just one geofencing.

But I wanna make geofence one more fixed markers when it start, and use one more geofencing.

So I revised this code(MapsActivity.java) by

                Toast.makeText(this, "You can add geofences...", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            } else {
                //We do not have the permission..
                Toast.makeText(this, "Background location access is neccessary for geofences to trigger...", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        }
    }
}

As a result, when start the app, four markers and Circles(I added fout latLng) are added on the map!

But only the last latLng works geofence function (LatLng(38.462743, 123.910317), such as alarm when enter the place),

the others doesn’t work geofence function.

I want to make the others location works geofencing function well lol

Plz. help me 🙁

I need a hint

Answer

You’re creating a new Geofencing Request for each LatLng coordinate. Instead, you should create a single Geofencing Request containing a list of all Geofences you want to monitor:

Create a function to build your Geofencing Request:

private GeofencingRequest getGeofencingRequest() {
    ArrayList<Geofence> geofenceList = new ArrayList<>();
    
    // Iterate through your LatLng(s) to build the Geofence list
    for(LatLng coordinate: latLngList){

        // Set up each Geofence with your corresponding values
        geofenceList.add(new Geofence.Builder()
                .setRequestId("My Geofence ID") // A string to identify this geofence
                .setCircularRegion(coordinate.latitude, coordinate.longitude, Constants.GEOFENCE_LARGE_RADIUS_IN_METERS)
                .setExpirationDuration(Constants.GEOFENCE_EXPIRATION_IN_MILLISECONDS)
                .setTransitionTypes(Geofence.GEOFENCE_TRANSITION_ENTER)
                .build()
        );
    }
    
    GeofencingRequest.Builder builder = new GeofencingRequest.Builder();

    // The INITIAL_TRIGGER_ENTER flag indicates that geofencing service should trigger a
    // GEOFENCE_TRANSITION_ENTER notification when the geofence is added and if the device
    // is already inside that geofence.
    builder.setInitialTrigger(GeofencingRequest.INITIAL_TRIGGER_ENTER);

    // Add the geofences to be monitored by geofencing service using the list we created.
    builder.addGeofences(geofenceList);

    return builder.build();
}

You should change addGeofence() to look something like this:

private void addGeofences() {
    PendingIntent pendingIntent = geofenceHelper.getPendingIntent();

    if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
        // TODO: Consider calling
        //    ActivityCompat#requestPermissions
        // here to request the missing permissions, and then overriding
        //   public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions,
        //                                          int[] grantResults)
        // to handle the case where the user grants the permission. See the documentation
        // for ActivityCompat#requestPermissions for more details.
        return;
    }
    
    // Pass the request built with the getGeofencingRequest() function to the Geofencing Client
    geofencingClient.addGeofences(getGeofencingRequest(), pendingIntent)
            .addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<Void>() {
                @Override
                public void onSuccess(Void aVoid) {
                    Log.d(TAG, "onSuccess: Geofence Added...");
                }
            })
            .addOnFailureListener(new OnFailureListener() {
                @Override
                public void onFailure(@NonNull Exception e) {
                    String errorMessage = geofenceHelper.getErrorString(e);
                    Log.d(TAG, "onFailure: " + errorMessage);
                }
            });
}

Finally, inside of your onMapReady():

latLngList = new ArrayList<>();
latLngList.add(new LatLng(38.462349, 123.909955));
latLngList.add(new LatLng(38.463194, 123.911317));
latLngList.add(new LatLng(38.462720, 123.910768));
latLngList.add(new LatLng(38.462743, 123.910317));

addGeofences(); // Add all of your geofences to the client
