Answer 1

I am explaining, How to get current location and Directly move to the camera to current location with assuming that you have implemented map-v2. For more details, You can refer official doc.

Add location service in gradle

implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:11.0.1"

Add location permission in manifest file

Make sure you ask for RunTimePermission. I am using Ask-Permission for that. Its easy to use.

Now refer below code to get the current location and display it on a map.

private FusedLocationProviderClient mFusedLocationProviderClient;

@Override
public void onCreate(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        mFusedLocationProviderClient = LocationServices
                .getFusedLocationProviderClient(getActivity());

}

private void getDeviceLocation() {
        try {
            if (mLocationPermissionGranted) {
                Task locationResult = mFusedLocationProviderClient.getLastLocation();
                locationResult.addOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onComplete(@NonNull Task task) {
                        if (task.isSuccessful()) {
                            // Set the map's camera position to the current location of the device.
                            Location location = task.getResult();
                            LatLng currentLatLng = new LatLng(location.getLatitude(),
                                    location.getLongitude());
                            CameraUpdate update = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(currentLatLng,
                                    DEFAULT_ZOOM);
                            googleMap.moveCamera(update);
                        }
                    }
                });
            }
        } catch (SecurityException e) {
            Log.e("Exception: %s", e.getMessage());
        }
}

When user granted location permission call above getDeviceLocation() method

private void updateLocationUI() {
        if (googleMap == null) {
            return;
        }
        try {
            if (mLocationPermissionGranted) {
                googleMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
                googleMap.getUiSettings().setMyLocationButtonEnabled(true);
                getDeviceLocation();
            } else {
                googleMap.setMyLocationEnabled(false);
                googleMap.getUiSettings().setMyLocationButtonEnabled(false);
            }
        } catch (SecurityException e) {
            Log.e("Exception: %s", e.getMessage());
        }
    }
