Develop an android application to implement a Location Based Services
Aim:
To Develop a Map Application with user current location.
Algorithm:
1. Open android studio and then select New Project from file.
2. Then choose the Empty Activity to develop a new application.
3. Then enter a name for the application as Map and other details in that page and click
finish.
4. Then gradle will build.
5. After finishing gradle building, start the design for the Location page.
6. Write a suitable code in activity_main.xml with necessary constraints for Map.
7. After designing the Action Bar page.
8. If there is no error then connect a physical device like phone or tablet to debug the app.
9. Then run the project. After installation process the app will open on phone with your
current Location page.
Program:
