Android Location Example (with Google Play Services)

This is an example project of how to use Location Services from Google Play Services to find a user's current location and display it on a map. It is built on the "Google Map Activity" template from Android Studio and is featured in a Treehouse blog post about location in Android.

This is an alternative way to organize location-related code which makes for a cleaner Activity. Location code has been abstracted into a custom LocationProvider class. If you would like to see the original project that is used on the blog post, check out its project page.
