How to display my location on Google Maps for Android API v2

Question

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:

Answer 1

From android 6.0 you need to check for user permission, if you want to use GoogleMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true) you will get Call requires permission which may be rejected by user error

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