It is necessary to find current location in android studio programmatically when you are developing location-based applications.
Globally, the location of any object is found in terms of the latitude and longitude.
For example, if you want to find restaurants near by you, you need your current gps location latitude and longitude.
With the help of latitude and longitude, you will be able to find location regardless of how far the object is from you.
In current GPS location android example tutorial, you will learn to get current latitude and longitude of Android device.
We will use Google’s FusedLocationAPI for getting current location with latitude and longitude.
Step 1. Create a new project in Android Studio.
Make a fresh new project in Android Studio. Make sure you have select Empty activity as a Main Activity while creating a new project.
Step 2. Update build.gradle(Module:app) file
Add below source code in build.gradle(Module:app)
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:11.8.0'
We need to use google’s play services to accomplish our task of getting current latitude and longitude.
Above line will import all the necessary classes from google api.
Step 3. Implement necessary interfaces
These interfaces are required.
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks, GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener, com.google.android.gms.location.LocationListener
Step 4. Declare instances:
Declare Necessary statements as per below source code.
private GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;
private Location mLocation;
private LocationManager mLocationManager;
private LocationRequest mLocationRequest;
Step 5. Put following in onCreate() method
Update your onCreate() method as per following:
mLatitudeTextView = (TextView) findViewById((R.id.latitude_textview));
mLongitudeTextView = (TextView) findViewById((R.id.longitude_textview));
mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
.addConnectionCallbacks(this)
.addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
.addApi(LocationServices.API)
.build();
mLocationManager = (LocationManager)this.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
Step 6. Last but not least, put required permissions in AndroidManifest.xml
Below two permissions are must to get desired results.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
AndroidManifest.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

In the above layout file, I have used four TextViews. Two are static which will give you reference about which digit is latitude and which is other.
Other two textview represents the location factors and will be changed frequently.
