How to get location access when starting the app for the first time in marshmallow

Question

I am crating an app. I am not getting current location when i installed app and then open it and allow the location access permission but showing only map.After reopen the app then current location is showing. using following code-

     public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements OnMapReadyCallback, GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks, GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener, LocationListener {

    LocationRequest mLocationRequest;
    GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;

    LatLng latLng;
    GoogleMap mMap;
    SupportMapFragment mFragment;
    Marker CurrentMarker;

    private static final int PERMISSION_REQUEST_CODE = 1;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
        setSupportActionBar(toolbar);




        FloatingActionButton fab = (FloatingActionButton) findViewById(R.id.fab);
        fab.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                Snackbar.make(view, "Replace with your own action", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG)
                        .setAction("Action", null).show();
            }
        });

        mFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map);
        mFragment.getMapAsync(this);

       // Button request_permission = (Button)findViewById(R.id.request_permission);

        //request_permission.setOnClickListener(this);

        if (!checkPermission()) {

            requestPermission();

        } else {

            Toast.makeText(this,"Permission already granted.",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

        }


    }

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
        // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
        // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
        int id = item.getItemId();

        //noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
        if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
            return true;
        }

        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }

Please tell me how to get location when i installed and then open it for first time.Using my source code.

Answer 1

In marshmallow you can not get location until user permit location access to the application in runtime. As user permit location permission restart your activity

  Intent intent= new Intent(MainActivity.this,MainActivity.class);
    startActivity(intent);
    finish();

Answer 2

Why did not show first time : Because you didn't handle after granting.

Why did you show on second time : Because you've previously granted the permission.

 @Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String permissions[], int[] grantResults) {
    switch (requestCode) {
        case PERMISSION_REQUEST_CODE:
            if (grantResults.length > 0 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {

            // TRY GETTING THE LOCATION HERE ON FIRST TIME (AFTER GRANTING)
             Location mLastLocation = LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation(mGoogleApiClient);
            } else {}
            break;
    }
}
