ANDROID APPLICATION FOR LOCATION BASED SERVICE
Date :

Aim :
To create a simple Android application that displays the user's current location on a
map using Google Maps and the device's GPS.
Procedure :
1. Set Up Development Environment:
a. Install Android Studio and create a new project.
2. Add Required Permissions:
a. Update the AndroidManifest.xml to request permissions for location access.
3. Integrate Google Maps:
a. Enable the Google Maps API and obtain an API key.
b. Add the Maps dependency to the build.gradle file.
4. Create User Interface:
a. Design a layout that includes a MapFragment to display the map.
5. Implement Location Services:
a. Use the Fused Location Provider API to get the user's location.
6. Display User Location:
a. Mark the user’s location on the map when the app starts.
7. Testing:
a. Run the app on a physical device or emulator with location services enabled.

Program :
AndroidManifest.xml
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.locationbasedservice">

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />

<application
...>
<activity android:name=".MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
android:value="YOUR_API_KEY_HERE" />
</application>
</manifest>
activity_main.xml
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">

<fragment
android:id="@+id/map"
android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
</RelativeLayout>
MainActivity.kt
import android.Manifest
import android.content.pm.PackageManager
import android.location.Location
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity
import android.os.Bundle
import com.google.android.gms.location.*
import com.google.android.gms.maps.CameraUpdateFactory
import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap
import com.google.android.gms.maps.OnMapReadyCallback
import com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.LatLng
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.MarkerOptions

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity(), OnMapReadyCallback {


private lateinit var fusedLocationClient: FusedLocationProviderClient
private lateinit var map: GoogleMap

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {


super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)

fusedLocationClient = LocationServices.getFusedLocationProviderClient(this)
val mapFragment = supportFragmentManager.findFragmentById(R.id.map) as
SupportMapFragment
mapFragment.getMapAsync(this)

// Request location permission


requestPermissions(arrayOf(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION), 1)
}

override fun onMapReady(googleMap: GoogleMap) {


map = googleMap
if (checkSelfPermission(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) ==
PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
fusedLocationClient.lastLocation.addOnSuccessListener { location: Location? ->
location?.let {
val userLocation = LatLng(it.latitude, it.longitude)
map.addMarker(MarkerOptions().position(userLocation).title("You are here"))
map.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(userLocation, 15f))
}
}
}
}
}
Sample Output
1. Initial Map Display:
o When the app is launched, the map will display a prompt for location access.
2. User Location:
o Once permission is granted, a marker will appear on the map indicating the user's
current location.

Result:
The study of the app successfully retrieves and displays the user's current location on a
Google Map, showcasing the essential features of a location-based service application. was
studied successfully.
