java.lang.IllegalStateException: Not on the main thread Google Maps

Question

I am getting the above error when my Android app code receives data from a cloud messaging platform and I try to put that data on the map -

    java.lang.IllegalStateException: Not on the main thread
    at maps.w.c.a(Unknown Source)
    at maps.y.F.a(Unknown Source)
    at maps.ad.u.b(Unknown Source)
    at vo.onTransact(:com.google.android.gms.DynamiteModulesB:92)
    at android.os.Binder.transact(Binder.java:380)
    at com.google.android.gms.maps.internal.IGoogleMapDelegate$zza$zza.animateCamera(Unknown Source)
    at com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap.animateCamera(Unknown Source)
    at com.pabba.mtracker.tracking.view.TrackingActivity.onLocationReceived(TrackingActivity.java:54)

The following is the code that is called by my presenter (I am using MVP Pattern for my android app) when it receives a Location message from the Cloud Messaging service.

@Override
public void onLocationReceived(LatLng latLng) {
    Log.i(TAG, latLng.toString());
    mGoogleMap.addPolyline(new PolylineOptions().add(latLng));
    mGoogleMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newCameraPosition(new CameraPosition.Builder().target(latLng)
            .zoom(13).build()));
}

And the error is occurring in the addPolyLine function call. Please tell me what can be done to resolve it.

Run it on UI thread

you must run this code in the UIThread:

activity.runOnUIThread(new Runnable(){
    public void run(){
        mGoogleMap.addPolyline(new PolylineOptions().add(latLng));
        mGoogleMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newCameraPosition(new CameraPosition.Builder().target(latLng)
        .zoom(13).build()));
    }
});

the activity runs also in the UIThread , any update on the UI should be in the UIThread not any other thread.

The following code will help you. Add your activity.

runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
   @Override
   public void run() {
      MapView mMapView = (MapView) dialog.findViewById(R.id.mapView);
      MapsInitializer.initialize(context);
      mMapView.onCreate(dialog.onSaveInstanceState());
      mMapView.onResume();
      mMapView.getMapAsync(new OnMapReadyCallback() {
      @Override
      public void onMapReady(final GoogleMap googleMap) {
            LatLng myLocation=new LatLng(Double.parseDouble(lat), Double.parseDouble(lon));
            googleMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_TERRAIN);
            googleMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(myLocation).title("My location").icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_GREEN)));
            float zoomLevel = (float) 16.0; //This goes up to 21
            googleMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(myLocation, zoomLevel));  
            googleMap.getUiSettings().setZoomControlsEnabled(true);
         }
      });
   }
});
