how to get current location in google map android
I think that better way now is:
Location currentLocation = LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation(googleApiClient);

Please check the sample code for the Google Maps Android API v2. Using this will solve your problem.
private void setUpMapIfNeeded() {
// Do a null check to confirm that we have not already instantiated the map.
if (mMap == null) {
// Try to obtain the map from the SupportMapFragment.
mMap = ((SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();
mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
// Check if we were successful in obtaining the map.
if (mMap != null) {
mMap.setOnMyLocationChangeListener(new GoogleMap.OnMyLocationChangeListener() {
@Override
public void onMyLocationChange(Location arg0) {
mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(new LatLng(arg0.getLatitude(), arg0.getLongitude())).title("It's Me!"));
}
});
}
}
}
Call this function in onCreate function.
Update:
The method mMap.setOnMyLocationChangeListener is now deprecated, you need to use the FusedLocationProviderClient now.
private FusedLocationProviderClient fusedLocationClient;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
fusedLocationClient = LocationServices.getFusedLocationProviderClient(this);
}
To request the last known location, call the getLastLocation() method. The following code snippet illustrates the request and a simple handling of the response:
fusedLocationClient.getLastLocation()
.addOnSuccessListener(this, new OnSuccessListener<Location>() {
@Override
public void onSuccess(Location location) {
// Got last known location. In some rare situations this can be null.
if (location != null) {
// Logic to handle location object
}
}
});
