Implementing Play Services Lab

Introduction

Note: This should be done independently.

We covered implementing Sign In during the lesson, an extremely important part of play services that lets you handle authentication with your app. There are many other services, though, and one of the most popular is the location service.

In this lab, you will be creating an app that uses the maps & location services to get the user's current location and show where they are. Use the links in the additional resources section to learn about the locations service and how to implement it.

You need to show a map inside of your Activity, NOT launch the Google Maps app.

Exercise

Requirements

  • Have your Activity use Google Maps
  • Use the maps & location API to get the user's current location
  • Move the map to the user's current location

Bonus:

  • Show the user's location on the map with a Marker

Deliverable

A working app that meets the requirements above.
