While enabled and the location is available, the my-location layer continuously draws an indication of a user's current location and bearing, and displays UI controls that allow a user to interact with their location (for example, to enable or disable camera tracking of their location and bearing). In order to use the my-location-layer feature you need to request permission for either ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION orACCESS_FINE_LOCATION unless you have set a custom location source.

If you have set a custom location source via setLocationSource(LocationSource) the Google Maps Android API will not check whether the above permissions have been granted. However, you still need to make sure that the user has granted all the permissions required for your custom location source.

Firstly, make sure your API Key is valid and add this into your manifest :

Here is a simple code that asks for the user’s location then centers the map on their location once it becomes known:
