How can I show current location on a Google Map on Android Marshmallow?

Question

I want google maps to show the location of the user. I tried this code, but it did not work on Android 6.

private GoogleMap map;
LocationManager lm;
Location

Sorry but that's just much too much overhead (above), short and quick, if you have the MapFragment, you also have to map, just do the following:

if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            googleMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true)
} else {
    // Show rationale and request permission.
}

Code is in Kotlin, hope you don't mind.

have fun
