The Google Maps API location now works, even has listeners, you can do it using that, for example:
private GoogleMap.OnMyLocationChangeListener myLocationChangeListener = new GoogleMap.OnMyLocationChangeListener() {
@Override
public void onMyLocationChange(Location location) {
LatLng loc = new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());
mMarker = mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(loc));
if(mMap != null){
mMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(loc, 16.0f));
}
}
};
and then set the listener for the map:
mMap.setOnMyLocationChangeListener(myLocationChangeListener);

};
and then set the listener for the map:
mMap.setOnMyLocationChangeListener(myLocationChangeListener);
This will get called when the map first finds the location.
No need for LocationService or LocationManager at all.
> `OnMyLocationChangeListener` interface is deprecated.
use com.google.android.gms.location.FusedLocationProviderApi instead. FusedLocationProviderApi provides improved location finding and power usage and is used by the "My Location" blue dot. See the MyLocationDemoActivity in the sample applications folder for example example code, or the Location Developer Guide.
