I need to set my own location on my map to create the route from where I am to the point I want to reach. I can create a bookmark for the destination but I do not know how to request the android my own location and bookmark on the map.
I know that I need to mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true); but without LatLng I can not position or mark on the map.
Assuming you're already using google play services and have already connected (example below):
if (mGoogleApiClient == null) {
mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
.addConnectionCallbacks(this)
.addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
.addApi(LocationServices.API)
.build();
}
if (mGoogleApiClient != null) {
mGoogleApiClient.connect();
}
Now it's just:
@Override
public void onConnected(Bundle connectionHint) {
myLocation = LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation(
mGoogleApiClient);
if (myLocation != null) {
latText.setText(String.valueOf(myLocation.getLatitude()));
longText.setText(String.valueOf(myLocation.getLongitude()));
}
}
The documentation also has the example of getting your own location too: Android Developers
