Step 1 :- Create New Android Project.

Step 2 :- Add Google-play-services_lib to your project.

Step 3 :- Open AndroidManifest.xml file.


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.mapv2.demo"
android:versionCode="2"
android:versionName="1.0.1" >

<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="17" />

<permission
android:name="com.mapv2.demo.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
android:protectionLevel="signature"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.mapv2.demo.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"/>

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>

<uses-feature
android:glEsVersion="0x00020000"
android:required="true"/>

<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name="com.mapv2.demo.MainActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>

<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
android:value="AIzaSyCmX7SLVHXxU9pSqb2QbAOvdnjAGUulOrk"/>

</application>

</manifest>

Step 4 :- Open activity_main.xml.

 


<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity" >

<TextView
android:id="@+id/tv_location"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>

<fragment
android:id="@+id/map"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_below="@id/tv_location"
class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
/>

</RelativeLayout>

Step 5 :- Open MainActivity.java


package com.mapv2.demo;

import android.app.Dialog;
import android.location.Criteria;
import android.location.Location;
import android.location.LocationListener;
import android.location.LocationManager;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.widget.TextView;

import com.google.android.gms.common.ConnectionResult;
import com.google.android.gms.common.GooglePlayServicesUtil;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.CameraUpdateFactory;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.LatLng;

public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity implements LocationListener {

GoogleMap googleMap;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

// Getting Google Play availability status
int status = GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(getBaseContext());

// Showing status
if(status!=ConnectionResult.SUCCESS){ // Google Play Services are not available

int requestCode = 10;
Dialog dialog = GooglePlayServicesUtil.getErrorDialog(status, this, requestCode);
dialog.show();

}else { // Google Play Services are available

// 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){
onLocationChanged(location);
}

locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(provider, 20000, 0, this);
}

}

@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {

TextView tvLocation = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tv_location);

// 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);

// Showing the current location in Google Map
googleMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(latLng));

// Zoom in the Google Map
googleMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(15));

// Setting latitude and longitude in the TextView tv_location
tvLocation.setText("Latitude:" + latitude + ", Longitude:"+ longitude );

}

@Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}

@Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}

@Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
return true;
}
}

Step 6 :- Run Code.
