This sample shows a simple way of getting a device's last known location, which is usually equivalent to the device's current location. The accuracy of the location returned is based on the location permissions you've requested and the location sensors that are currently active for the device.
To run this sample, location must be enabled.
This sample uses [FusedLocationProviderClient] (https://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/gms/location/LocationServices.html).
To run this sample, location must be enabled.
