how to get current location in google map android

Question

Actually my problem is I am not getting current location latitude and longitude I tried so many ways.I know that this question already asked in SO I tried that answers also

Answer 1

public void getMyLocation() {
        // create class object
        gps = new GPSTracker(HomeActivity.this);
        // check if GPS enabled
        if (gps.canGetLocation()) {
            latitude = gps.getLatitude();
            longitude = gps.getLongitude();
            Geocoder geocoder;
            List<Address> addresses;
            geocoder = new Geocoder(this, Locale.getDefault());
            try {
                addresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(latitude, longitude, 1);
                postalCode = addresses.get(0).getPostalCode();
                city = addresses.get(0).getLocality();
                address = addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(0);
                state = addresses.get(0).getAdminArea();
                country = addresses.get(0).getCountryName();
                knownName = addresses.get(0).getFeatureName();
                Log.e("Location",postalCode+" "+city+" "+address+" "+state+" "+knownName);

            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        } else {
            gps.showSettingsAlert();
        }
    }

Answer 2

If you don't need to retrieve the user's location every time it changes (I have no idea why nearly every solution does that by using a location listener), it's just wasteful to do so. The asker was clearly interested in retrieving the location just once. Now FusedLocationApi is deprecated, so as a replacement for @Andrey's post, you can do:

    LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) this.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
    String locationProvider = LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER;
    // I suppressed the missing-permission warning because this wouldn't be executed in my 
    // case without location services being enabled
    @SuppressLint("MissingPermission") android.location.Location lastKnownLocation = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(locationProvider);
    double userLat = lastKnownLocation.getLatitude();
    double userLong = lastKnownLocation.getLongitude();

This just puts together some scattered information in the docs, this being the most important source.

Answer 3

FusedLocationApi has been Deprecated (Why Google always deprecated everything!)

location: retrieve-current

Here is the way to get it now:

private lateinit var fusedLocationClient: FusedLocationProviderClient

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    // ...

    fusedLocationClient = LocationServices.getFusedLocationProviderClient(this)
}

Answer 4

Why not to use FusedLocationApi instead of OnMyLocationChangeListener? You need to initialize GoogleApiClient object and use LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates() method to register location change listener. It is important to note, that don't forget to remove the registered listener and disconnect GoogleApiClient.

private LocationRequest  mLocationRequest;
private GoogleApiClient  mGoogleApiClient;
private LocationListener mLocationListener;

private void initGoogleApiClient(Context context)
{
    mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(context).addApi(LocationServices.API).addConnectionCallbacks(new GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks()
    {
        @Override
        public void onConnected(Bundle bundle)
        {
            mLocationRequest = LocationRequest.create();
            mLocationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
            mLocationRequest.setInterval(1000);

            setLocationListener();
        }

        @Override
        public void onConnectionSuspended(int i)
        {
            Log.i("LOG_TAG", "onConnectionSuspended");
        }
    }).build();

    if (mGoogleApiClient != null)
        mGoogleApiClient.connect();

}

private void setLocationListener()
{
    mLocationListener = new LocationListener()
    {
        @Override
        public void onLocationChanged(Location location)
        {
            String lat = String.valueOf(location.getLatitude());
            String lon = String.valueOf(location.getLongitude());
            Log.i("LOG_TAG", "Latitude = " + lat + " Longitude = " + lon);
        }
    };

    LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, mLocationRequest, mLocationListener);
}

private void removeLocationListener()
{
    LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.removeLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, mLocationListener);
}

Answer 5

I think that better way now is:

Location currentLocation = LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation(googleApiClient);
