I\'ve looked high and low for an answer on this, and no one, in any forum question has been able to help. I\'ve searched through the tutorials. The API Guide says:
Java code:
public class MapActivity extends FragmentActivity implements LocationListener {
GoogleMap googleMap;
LatLng myPosition;
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_map);
// Getting reference to the SupportMapFragment of activity_main.xml
SupportMapFragment fm = (SupportMapFragment)
getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map);
// Getting GoogleMap object from the fragment
googleMap = fm.getMap();
// Enabling MyLocation Layer of Google Map
googleMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
// Getting LocationManager object from System Service LOCATION_SERVICE
LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
// Creating a criteria object to retrieve provider
Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
// Getting the name of the best provider
String provider = locationManager.getBestProvider(criteria, true);
// Getting Current Location
Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(provider);
if (location != null) {
// Getting latitude of the current location
double latitude = location.getLatitude();
// Getting longitude of the current location
double longitude = location.getLongitude();
// Creating a LatLng object for the current location
LatLng latLng = new LatLng(latitude, longitude);
myPosition = new LatLng(latitude, longitude);
googleMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(myPosition).title("Start"));
}
}
}
activity_map.xml:
You will get your current location in a blue circle.
