1. TITLE OF THE LAB EXPERIMENT
1. Implement timestamp along with latitude and longitude information.
2. Show nearby restaurants and hospital from your current location.
2.OBJECTIVES:
➢ To make a simple location finder app using Android Studio
➢ To show the current time, latitude, and longitude on the screen
➢ To let users see nearby restaurants on Google Maps
➢ To let users see nearby hospitals on Google Maps
➢ To ask for location permission from the user and use it
➢ To show messages using Toast when location is not ready or permission is denied
➢ To make the app interface clean, simple, and attractive
3.PROCEDURE :
Step: 01
➢ Open Android Studio.
➢ Click on “New Project”.
➢ Choose “Empty Activity”.
➢ Give your project the name “MyLocationFinder”.
➢ Select Java as the programming language.
➢ Click “Finish” to create the project.
Step: 02
➢ Open the file named activity_main.xml.
➢ Use LinearLayout to design the screen layout.
➢ Add a TextView to show the title “ My Location Finder”.
➢ Add another LinearLayout or CardView to show location and time.
➢ Add two Buttons: one for “Show Nearby Restaurants” and one for “Show Nearby
Hospitals”.
➢ Change background color, add padding and margin, set text size, and choose button
colors to make the app look nice.
2
Step: 03
➢ Open the file MainActivity.java.
➢ Connect TextView and Buttons to the code using findViewById().
➢ Create a FusedLocationProviderClient to get the user’s current location.
➢ Request location permission from the user using ActivityCompat.
➢ Add click listeners on both Buttons to open Google Maps for restaurants and
hospitals.
➢ Get the current date and time and show it along with latitude and longitude in the
TextView.
➢ Show a small message (Toast) if location is not ready or permission is denied.
Step: 04
➢ Create a method getCurrentLocation() to get latitude and longitude.
➢ Use fusedLocationClient.getLastLocation() to get the location.
➢ Format the current time using SimpleDateFormat and show it on the screen.
➢ Save latitude and longitude in variables to use when opening Google Maps.
Step: 05
➢ Create a method openMap(String placeType) to open Google Maps.
➢ Use Intent.ACTION_VIEW with a geo URI to search for restaurants or hospitals.
➢ Set the package to “com.google.android.apps.maps” so it opens in Google Maps.
➢ Start the activity with startActivity(intent).
Step: 06
➢ Override onRequestPermissionsResult() to handle user’s location permission.
➢ If permission is granted, call getCurrentLocation() again.
➢ If permission is denied, show a Toast message saying “Permission denied”.
Step: 07
➢ Run the app on an emulator or real Android phone.
➢ Allow location permission when asked.
➢ Check if current time, latitude, and longitude appear on the screen.
➢ Press “Show Nearby Restaurants” or “Show Nearby Hospitals” to see results in
Google Maps.

5. ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION:
In this project, I made a simple location finder app. It shows the current time, latitude, and
longitude. Users can find nearby restaurants and hospitals using Google Maps. I learned how to
get location from the device, ask for permissions, use buttons to open Maps, show messages with
Toast, and design a simple and attractive interface.
