androidLocationManager

An complete, easy-to-use and reusable LocationManager for Android, using GoogleAPIs. Plus, a direct tutorial to configure your project from start to end, resuming Google's guides and adding some tips!

This repo is dedicated to Android beginners and lazy seniors :p

Getting started

You can choose any of these two ways to start:

1. Create a project in Android Studio with a GoogleMaps activity OR
2. Follow this tutorial to configure an existing project

Any of them are pretty simple to do. Plus, take this shorcut to get your SHA1 fingerprint easily.

ATTENTION: don't forget to activate your api key at google developers console after create it! If not, the service will not work. TIP: you can compare your project configuration with my sample code and search for workarounds ;)

Usage
