You need a server, which will collect the information from your app. And the app after installation will send the location info( if it is available ) through internet to your server. After you have the location info, you will be able to put the marks on google maps.

I want to build an application where the user can see his current location, and all the users logged in to the app as well.
I want to build it for Android and IOS.
Can I use Apple Maps on IOS and Google Maps API on Android?
Will the application be able to show the current logged in users location on both IOS and Android with no problems? even though am using Apple maps on IOS and Google Maps API on Android?
To be more clear: the android user can also see the IOS users on the map and Vice-Versa
Or I have to use Google Maps API on IOS as well?
Its possible. Just you need to save the lat long on your server of every logged in user. And while any client i.e. Android or iOS app login the app you can have an endpoint that returns the location of all logged in users in server. For server component, you need to develop one endpoint to save the lat long and one endpoint to fetch all the lat long's saved on server.
Of course can. iOS and Android native components will return you same location (as much as possible apart) in spherical coordinate system, then you can do with this location what do you want.
Yes you can. The information is sent by the clients, on the server side you can manage/handle that information as you want/need ;)
I am a dummy in android app development. I have developed an app that when a button is clicked, the google maps application opens. I want to get the name of the location that has been selected in the google maps application and use it in my own application. Is it possible to do so? Plus, can it be done without integrating google maps or google places API in the application?
You want to use the "Start activity for result" construct. With that, and some data in an intent, you can request a location like that from Google Maps.
I would also recommend allowing a person to share a location from Maps to your app. Depending on what your app would be doing with the data.
You can get location name from the point you clicked on a map.
You can do it using the device to query into the Google Map Api or you can write a rest service where you pass in your location and the service hand you back the location name.
Ours is a financial app and to curb forgeries we wanted to access users location history from our android app.
The purpose behind this is if the user is requesting the service from a place where he hasn't been often or never been there, we would flag them or ignore them or implement another layer of security.
I have searched and found that google maps maintains location history and google plus may have an undocumented API also.
Please suggest how to get access to location history of device.
That's not possible unless you keep track of the location history yourself.
Google maps app allow us to set Home and Office location.Is there a way i can read these locations in my android code.I am writing an app and i need to know whether user has set his/her Home and Office location in google maps and if yes then what are they?I can put the google map in my app and can ask the user to locate his/her Home and office location but it would be duplicate effort by the user and won't look good.Any other suggestions are also welcome here
You can use the Google Geocoding API for getting the address - GeoCoding API
Hope this helps.
I am new to mobile programming and this is my first time to use Android. I have to develop a location based services on mobile application.
I had done the step which able to allow user to login my application using (Google Oauth), get user location, get places nearby.
Now I want to show user review in the Map application from Google and user able to put their review for a place. How can I do that? I had read the document here. (https://developers.google.com/places/documentation/index)
But still I am not sure where should I put it. Is there any documents for me to refer? A sample code will be big help for me...
