GOOGLE MAPS API - How to get my position without map.setMyLocationEnabled(boolean)?

I'm confused about how to get my location when clicking a button.

I was trying with my code below:

private void showMyLocation() {
    FusedLocationProviderApi fusedLocationApi = LocationServices.FusedLocationApi;
    Location location = fusedLocationApi.getLastLocation(googleApiClient);

    LatLng latLng = new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());

    CameraUpdate cameraUpdate = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(latLng);

    map.animateCamera(cameraUpdate);
}

and the result is a force close app. I can't read logcat , because logcat is gone when the app crashes.

Are there any suggestions?

Firstly create Location mLocation as globally then inside onLocationChanged

    @Override
    public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
    mLastLocation = location;}

then 

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_maps);
    btn = findViewById(R.id.btn);
    // add code 
    btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            if (mLastLocation != null) {
                LatLng latLng = new LatLng(mLastLocation.getLatitude(), mLastLocation.getLongitude());
                lat = mLastLocation.getLatitude();
                Log.d("MapActivity", "lat of current" + lat);
                lng = mLastLocation.getLongitude();
                Log.d("MapActivity", "lng of current" + lng);

                if (marker != null) {
                    marker.remove();
                }

                marker = mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
                    .position(latLng)
                    .title("You are here!!!")
                    .icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(R.drawable.a1)));
                mMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(latLng, 15));
            }
        }          
    }
});
