Current location is not showing in my android app

Question

I have written code for getting current location in android project. But it is not picking my location automatically and showing marker somewhere in the world although I'm sitting in Pakistan.

Map Activity code is here

            // Obtain the SupportMapFragment and get notified when the map is ready to be used.
            SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
                    .findFragmentById(R.id.map);
            mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);

        }
        /**

Answer 1

I have the same issue. When you test your app in AVD map will show google corporation as your place. But if your code is correct, when you test the app in your device, you will get your current location correctly.

Answer 2

Your Android emulator doesn't use your real location. Most of the times the location is set in the Emulator settings, like in Android Studio.

Use a real device for testing, or open the settings to change your location.

You can find more information about the emulator here:
