I am working on an app that calculate the distance between 2 points but i don't now how to get the current position.I'm using a google maps activity.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The code:

LocationManager service = (LocationManager) this.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
Criteria criteria = new Criteria(); 
String provider = service.getBestProvider(criteria, false); service.requestLocationUpdates(provider,1000,0,locationListenerGPS); Location location = service.getLastKnownLocation(provider); 
LatLng userLocation = new LatLng(location.getLatitude(),location.getLongitude());

Use the documentation for this . LocationManager is not the best way. Use GooglePlayServices.

Check out the step by step way in the official docs
