In this article i'll continue google maps into your android application and adding current location using Google Api Client with Location listener using Fuse Api.
Here i'll be handling Android runtime permission to enable Fine location permission for Fetching current location of users running 6.0 or above.
Location dialog will also be available to prompt user to enable location services so that fuse api can fetch the user's current location.
1. Add latest google play services dependency to your module gradle for eg :
2. Add Api keys and google play services version to the manifest file.

Here i'll be handling Android runtime permission to enable Fine location permission for Fetching current location of users running 6.0 or above.
Location dialog will also be available to prompt user to enable location services so that fuse api can fetch the user's current location.
1. Add latest google play services dependency to your module gradle for eg :
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.0.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:10.2.0'
}
2. Add Api keys and google play services version to the manifest file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="kamal.com.androidv2mapsdemo"> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/> <application android:allowBackup="true" android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher" android:label="@string/app_name" android:supportsRtl="true" android:theme="@style/AppTheme"> <activity android:name=".MapsActivity"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity> <!--Defining Map Configs here. Including Google play services version and Map Key--> <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" /> <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY" android:value="Your Api key" /> </application> </manifest>3. Add a container to add map on runtime in Xml layout.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/activity_maps" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"> <!-- The map fragments will go here --> <RelativeLayout android:id="@+id/map_container" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"></RelativeLayout> </RelativeLayout>4. MapsActivity to inflate map.
