LocationService
Android library to simplify the ease of getting location from location provider. We have written a wrapper on top of Fused location provider. Improved accuracy & threshold checks for minimum horizontal accuracy and using Kalman Filter.
Application context is only necessary while initialising location manager and run-time will be asked automatically if not given.
Installing
Step 1:- Add it in your root build.gradle at the end of repositories:
all projects {
repositories {
...
maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}
}
Step 2:- Add the dependency:
implementation 'com.github.aadit33:LocationService:1.9.2'
Add the required permissions
For fine location (GPS location), add the following permission in your AndroidManifest.xml:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
For coarse location (network location), add the following permission in your AndroidManifest.xml:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.location.gps" />
Retrieve the location from the device
Add the following code in activity/ fragment
private CoordinateManager locationManager;
private void requestLocationUpdates() {
locationManager = new CoordinateManager(getApplication());
locationManager.activityAttached(this);
locationManager.addObserver(locationObserver);
}
private DisposableObserver<TTNewLocation> locationObserver = new DisposableObserver<TTNewLocation>() {
@Override
public void onNext(TTNewLocation ttNewLocation) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Latitude:" + ttNewLocation.getLat() + " And Longitude:" + ttNewLocation.getLng() + " isAccurate:"
+ ttNewLocation.getAccurate() + " Accuracy:" + ttNewLocation.getAccuracy(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
@Override
public void onError(Throwable e) {
}
@Override
public void onComplete() {
}
}
//call for run time permission
@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, @NonNull String permissions[], @NonNull int[] grantResults) {
locationManager.onRequestPermissionResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
}
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
locationManager.onPermissionReceived(requestCode , resultCode);
}
//stop location updates
@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
locationManager.removeObserver(locationObserver);
}
