GOOGLE MAPS API - How to get my position without map.setMyLocationEnabled(boolean)?

Question

I'm confused about how to get my location when clicking a button.

I was trying with my code below:

private void showMyLocation() {
    FusedLocationProviderApi fusedLocationApi = LocationServices.FusedLocationApi;
    Location location = fusedLocationApi.getLastLocation(googleApiClient);

    LatLng latLng = new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());

    CameraUpdate cameraUpdate = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(latLng);

    map.animateCamera(cameraUpdate);
}

and the result is a force close app. I can't read logcat , because logcat is gone when the app crashes.

Are there any suggestions?

You can find your application logs in the Run tab at the bottom of Android studio even your application is crashed. — Vishal, Feb 14 '20 at 08:58
Have you requested the location permission on the device? Little hard to know without seeing the logs. I did make this [location repository](https://github.com/plusmobileapps/location-android) in the past which might help you in the basics of doing location on Android. — Andrew Steinmetz, Feb 14 '20 at 09:04

Firstly create Location mLocation as globally then inside onLocationChanged

    @Override
    public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
    mLastLocation = location;}

then

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_maps);
    btn = findViewById(R.id.btn);
    // add code 
    btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            if (mLastLocation != null) {
                LatLng latLng = new LatLng(mLastLocation.getLatitude(), mLastLocation.getLongitude());
                lat = mLastLocation.getLatitude();
                Log.d("MapActivity", "lat of current" + lat);
                lng = mLastLocation.getLongitude();
                Log.d("MapActivity", "lng of current" + lng);

                if (marker != null) {
                    marker.remove();
                }

                marker = mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
                    .position(latLng)
                    .title("You are here!!!")
                    .icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(R.drawable.a1)));
                mMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(latLng, 15));
            }
        }          
    }
});

implements your class by implements OnMapReadyCallback, GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks, GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener, LocationListener it will generate override method for you. — Pratiksha Shaha, Feb 14 '20 at 10:21
