Here is my Main Activity:

        startActivity(intent);
        break;
    }

}

@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

}
}

and here is my activity_main.xml

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" >

and my map fragment xml

package com.VaSuRa.sugboways;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class MapFragmentActivity extends Activity {

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_map);

    Intent i = getIntent();
}
}

and lastly my activity_map.xml

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">

    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    tools:layout="@layout/activity_main" />

What's line no. 44 of MainActivity? There is a classcast exception: com.VaSuRa.sugboways.MainActivity cannot be cast to android.location.LocationListener – Romance 26/9, 2014 at 4:32

just nothing a line space but before that is this line locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(provider, 20000, 1, (android.location.LocationListener) this); – Carliecarlile 27/9, 2014 at 17:50

R

In your MainActivity class definition you have:

public abstract class MainActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener,

So, you are defining MainActivity as an abstract class but java documentation says:

Abstract classes cannot be instantiated, but they can be subclassed.

and since the error you are getting is precisely:

InstantiationException: can't instantiate class MainActivity

You have have to remove 'abstract' from MainActivity class definition.

i'm getting another error.. – Carliecarlile 26/9, 2014 at 4:26

i have posted it above.. @SweetWisherツ – Carliecarlile 26/9, 2014 at 6:12

First issue is that you can not set your MainActivity to Abstract class as Abstract classes cannot be instantiated.

Second Issue is in your line,

  locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(provider, 20000, 1,
            (android.location.LocationListener) this);

you can not assign your MainActivity i.e. activity to android.location.LocationListener. Instead use

  locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(provider, 20000, 1,
            MainActivity.this);

Kamchatka answered 26/9, 2014 at 4:39 Comment(4)

what do i do? it asks if i would cast the argument to location.listener or implement it to main activity? – Carliecarlile 26/9, 2014 at 6:8

@KristofferRyanGarcesSupan : then implement its method to main activity. And let me know if it worked for you or not? – Kamchatka 26/9, 2014 at 12:6

Unfortunately, no.. another error :(((( – Carliecarlile 26/9, 2014 at 13:24

Very much wrong of an answer @Bini, did you ever check the parameters of requestLocationUpdates() method, it takes LocationListner for the last parameter, how can it be MainActivity.this you suggested? Do not provide incorrect answers please. – Valente 25/6, 2015 at 18:27
