import android.support.v4.app.FragmentAc         


        

Answer 1

Location loc = map.getMyLocation(); didn't wait for your current location

See the example: http://developer.xamarin.com/recipes/android/os_device_resources/gps/get_current_device_location/

Also see this: http://developer.android.com/training/location/retrieve-current.html

Answer 2

This is the code for getting current location on the map.

public class ShowMap extends FragmentActivity implements LocationListener{

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_show_location_map);

        getMap();

  }
  public void getMap(){

      int status = GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(getBaseContext());

        // Showing status
        if(status!=ConnectionResult.SUCCESS){ // Google Play Services are not available

            int requestCode = 10;
            Dialog dialog = GooglePlayServicesUtil.getErrorDialog(status, this, requestCode);
            dialog.show();

        }else { // Google Play Services are available

            // Getting reference to the SupportMapFragment of activity_main.xml
            SupportMapFragment fm = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map);
            // Getting GoogleMap object from the fragment
            googleMap = fm.getMap();

            // Enabling MyLocation Layer of Google Map
           googleMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
        }
    }


   @Override
   public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
   // Getting latitude of the current location
   double latitude = location.getLatitude();

   // Getting longitude of the current location
   double longitude = location.getLongitude();

   // Creating a LatLng object for the current location
   LatLng latLng = new LatLng(latitude, longitude);

   // Showing the current location in Google Map
   googleMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(latLng));

   // Zoom in the Google Map
   googleMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(15));


   }

   @Override
   public void onProviderDisabled(String arg0) {
      // TODO Auto-generated method stub

   }

   @Override
   public void onProviderEnabled(String arg0) {
       // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }

    @Override
    public void onStatusChanged(String arg0, int arg1, Bundle arg2) {
       // TODO Auto-generated method stub

  }

and you need to import google play store into your project as a library. and add support v4 into your project like Right click your project -> select properties ->java build path -> select Libraries Tab -> click Add External JARs, and give path of your support v4 jar.

I am sure this step will help you.
