Show Current Location Inside Google Map Fragment

How can I get current location google map in a fragment using view pager?

You should use MapView here as well instead of MapFragment:

MapFragment mapFragment = (MapFragment) getFragmentManager()
            .findFragmentById(R.id.googlemap);

mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);

Try this example below:

public class SomeFragment extends Fragment {

    MapView mapView;
    GoogleMap map;

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.some_layout, container, false);

        // Gets the MapView from the XML layout and creates it
        mapView = (MapView) v.findViewById(R.id.mapview);
        mapView.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        // Gets to GoogleMap from the MapView and does initialization stuff
        map = mapView.getMap();
        map.getUiSettings().setMyLocationButtonEnabled(false);
        map.setMyLocationEnabled(true);

        // Needs to call MapsInitializer before doing any CameraUpdateFactory calls
        try {
            MapsInitializer.initialize(this.getActivity());
        } catch (GooglePlayServicesNotAvailableException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        // Updates the location and zoom of the MapView
        CameraUpdate cameraUpdate = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(new LatLng(43.1, -87.9), 10);
        map.animateCamera(cameraUpdate);

        return v;
    }

    @Override
    public void onResume() {
        mapView.onResume();
        super.onResume();
    }

    @Override
    public void onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy();
        mapView.onDestroy();
    }

    @Override
    public void onLowMemory() {
        super.onLowMemory();
        mapView.onLowMemory();
    }

}

Layout:

<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" >

    <com.google.android.gms.maps.MapView android:id="@+id/mapview"
        android:layout_width="match_parent" 
        android:layout_height="match_parent" />

</FrameLayout>

How can I show current location on a Google Map on Android Marshmallow?

For using FusedLocationProviderClient with Google Play Services 11 and higher:

see here:
How to get current Location in GoogleMap using FusedLocationProviderClient

For using (now deprecated) FusedLocationProviderApi:

If your project uses Google Play Services 10 or lower, using the FusedLocationProviderApi is the optimal choice.

The FusedLocationProviderApi offers less battery drain than the old open source LocationManager API.
Also, if you're already using Google Play Services for Google Maps, there's no reason not to use it.

Here is a full Activity class that places a Marker at the current location, and also moves the camera to the current position.

It also checks for the Location permission at runtime for Android 6 and later (Marshmallow, Nougat, Oreo).
In order to properly handle the Location permission runtime check that is necessary on Android M/Android 6 and later, you need to ensure that the user has granted your app the Location permission before calling mGoogleMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true) and also before requesting location updates.

public class MapLocationActivity extends AppCompatActivity
        implements OnMapReadyCallback,
        GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks,
        GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener,
        LocationListener {

    GoogleMap mGoogleMap;
    SupportMapFragment mapFrag;
    LocationRequest mLocationRequest;
    GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;
    Location mLastLocation;
    Marker mCurrLocationMarker;

        getSupportActionBar().setTitle("Map Location Activity");

        mapFrag = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map);
        mapFrag.getMapAsync(this);
    }

    @Override
    public void onPause() {
        super.onPause();

        //stop location updates when Activity is no longer active
        if (mGoogleApiClient != null) {
            LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.removeLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, this);

Show permission explanation if needed using an AlertDialog (this happens if the user denies a permission request, or grants the permission and then later revokes it in the settings):

Prompt the user for Location permission by calling ActivityCompat.requestPermissions():

How to retrieve current device location & show it on map fragment in a fragment

How about using the newly introduced fused location provider
as referenced from: http://developer.android.com/training/location/retrieve-current.html

public static class XYZ extends Fragment
            implements

                Bundle savedInstanceState) {

            if (view != null) {
                ViewGroup parent = (ViewGroup) view.getParent();
                if (parent != null)
                    parent.removeView(view);

        }

        @Override

With the XML as:

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="0dp"

                        android:layout_height="match_parent"
                        />

                    <ImageView

                        android:layout_width="match_parent"
                        android:layout_height="match_parent"
                        android:background="@android:color/transparent" />

            </RelativeLayout>

You may get a blank map if you don't have all the requirements, https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/start

1. Get Play services on your project by following this post
   https://blog-emildesign.rhcloud.com/?p=435

2. Then get an api key: https://blog-emildesign.rhcloud.com/?p=403

3. Add the permissions to you manifest,

      <uses-permission android:name="your.application.package.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"/>
      <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
      <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
      <uses-permission    android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES"/>
      <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
      <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
   

4. To test the map application you need to have a real device, if not then push play services to emulator via adb, read this post to learn how to install play services via adb https://stackoverflow.com/a/13869332/826657

5. After all steps above, clean your project, uninstall the previous .apk from emulator, and run the project.
