How to Display Current Location on Google Map with Kotlin Android

How to display my current location on google map in android with using Kotlin Android

So Lets start how to display current location on google map with Kotlin Android with Google Map API services.

Step 1 : You need to Google Developer Console and sign in

https://console.developers.google.com/project

Step 2 : Create your new project by clicking on CREATE PROJECT and give name of project.

Step 3 : Now click on API's and Services and open Dashboard.

Step 4 : Now Click on Enable API and Services.

Step 5 : Now Enable the Google Map Android API.

Step 6 : Now click on Credentials.

Step 7 : Click on Create Credentials and choose API key

Step 8 : Now there is your API key for Google Map , copy it and paste it on you android code , location is in your app/res/values/ here google_maps_api.xml file is there.

Now create Android Studio project with google Map.

class MapsActivity : AppCompatActivity(), OnMapReadyCallback {

    private lateinit var mMap: GoogleMap

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_maps)
      
        val mapFragment = supportFragmentManager
                .findFragmentById(R.id.map) as SupportMapFragment
        mapFragment.getMapAsync(this)
    }

    override fun onMapReady(googleMap: GoogleMap) {
        mMap = googleMap

 
        val sydney = LatLng(20.59, 78.96)
        mMap.addMarker(MarkerOptions().position(sydney).title("Marker in India"))
        mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(sydney))
    }
}

This is the code for static location display on map , you can get my code here Source Code ,

 In this code you can get Current Location with Kotlin Android language.

       mLastLocation = location;
        if (mCurrLocationMarker != null) {
            mCurrLocationMarker.remove();
        }
//Showing Current Location Marker on Map
        LatLng latLng = new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());
        MarkerOptions markerOptions = new MarkerOptions();
        markerOptions.position(latLng);
        LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager)
                getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
        String provider = locationManager.getBestProvider(new Criteria(), true);
        if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this,
                Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED &&
                ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION)
                        != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            return;
        }
        Location locations = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(provider);
        List<String> providerList = locationManager.getAllProviders();
        if (null != locations && null != providerList && providerList.size() > 0) {
            double longitude = locations.getLongitude();
            double latitude = locations.getLatitude();
            Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(getApplicationContext(),
                    Locale.getDefault());
            try {
                List<Address> listAddresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(latitude,
                        longitude, 1);
                if (null != listAddresses && listAddresses.size() > 0) {
                    String state = listAddresses.get(0).getAdminArea();
                    String country = listAddresses.get(0).getCountryName();
                    String subLocality = listAddresses.get(0).getSubLocality();
                    markerOptions.title("" + latLng + "," + subLocality + "," + state
                            + "," + country);
                }
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
        markerOptions.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_BLUE));
        mCurrLocationMarker = mMap.addMarker(markerOptions);
        mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(latLng));
        mMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(11));
        if (mGoogleApiClient != null) {
            LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.removeLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, (com.google.android.gms.location.LocationListener) this);
        }
    }
