I made a chat application using firebase between two mobile devices then i created a button to send the location of the device using Google API client but it keeps returning null though i tried it in another activity and it worked fine . ChatRoom ::
public class Chat_room extends Activity implements ConnectionCallbacks,OnConnectionFailedListener, LocationListener {
Button btnsend, btnGps;
TextView recievedmsg, txtgps;
EditText editmsg;
DatabaseReference rootRoomName;
String roomname;
String username;
private String chatusername;
private String chatmessage;
String Response;
private GoogleApiClient GAC;
LocationRequest LR;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
build_GAC();
setContentView(R.layout.activity_chat_room);
btnsend = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnsend);
btnGps = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnGps);
recievedmsg = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.recievedmsg);
editmsg = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editmsg);
txtgps = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txtgps);
roomname = getIntent().getExtras().get("Room_Name").toString();
username = getIntent().getExtras().get("UserName").toString();
setTitle(roomname);
rootRoomName = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().getRoot().child(roomname);
btnsend.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
DatabaseReference childRoot = rootRoomName.push();
Map<String, Object> map = new HashMap<String, Object>();
map.put("Name", username);
map.put("message",Response);
childRoot.updateChildren(map);
// }
}
});
rootRoomName.addChildEventListener(new ChildEventListener() {
@Override
public void onChildAdded(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot, String s) {
update_message(dataSnapshot);

});
}
private void update_message(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
chatusername = (String) dataSnapshot.child("Name").getValue();
chatmessage = (String) dataSnapshot.child("message").getValue();
recievedmsg.append(chatusername + ":" + chatmessage + "\n\n");
