How to get current location and not last location?
I am trying to get the current device location.
All I find is how to get last known location - and for that, I have to first open an app that used location service such as Google Maps.
But what if I want to be the one to get the current location first, without having to open some other GPS-using app?

You need to request location updates. Like mFusedLocationClient.requestLocationUpdates(getLocationRequest(), mLocationCallback, null); And you will get current location inside your mLocationCallback. You can look here https://developer.android.com/training/location/receive-location-updates#updates

You need to define a LocationListener to handle changes in location.
