LocationManager

To get Location this library follows few steps:

• Checks for the permission
• Ask for the permission at runtime
• Check whether user granted the permissions or not
• If granted, starts fetching the location

How to use

Add following line on root-level build.gradle file.

allprojects {
		repositories {
			...
			maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
		}
	}

Add lastest dependency on app-level build.gradle. You can always see Latest Release from here.

dependencies {
          implementation 'com.github.nawinkhatiwada:LocationManager:xyz'
  }

Add following two lines on AndroidManifest.xml

 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />

After syncing the project, initialize the location manager. Implement LocationListener of package com.androidbolts.library.LocationListener to override some required methods for fetching the location. You must add locationManager to the lifecycler observer in order to get the location. If you don't want to showProgressbar while fetching the location, you can set showLoading(false). You can also change the timeout duration using setRequestTimeOut(LocationConstants.TIME_OUT_LONG). Use LocationConstants.TIMEOUT_NONE if you want to disable timeout. You can see the sample project here for proper implementation.

class MainActivity: AppCompatActivity(), LocationListener {
   private var locationManager: LocationManager ?= null
   private var location:Location ?= null

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
      setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
  initLocationManager()
  }

  fun initLocationManager(){
      locationManager = LocationManager.Builder(this)
          .showLoading(true)
          .setListener(this)
          .setRequestTimeOut(LocationConstants.TIME_OUT_LONG)
          .build()
      locationManager?.let {
             lifecycle.addObserver(it)
          }
  locationManager?.getLocation()
  }

  override fun onRequestPermissionsResult(
      requestCode: Int,
      permissions: Array<out String>,
      grantResults: IntArray
  ) {
      super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults)
      if(requestCode == LocationConstants.LOCATION_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_CODE) {
          locationManager?.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults)
      }
  }

  override fun onPermissionGranted(alreadyHadPermission: Boolean) {
      //override if needed
  }

  override fun onPermissionDenied() {
      //override if needed
  }
  
  override fun onLocationChanged(location: Location?) {
      this.location = location
      Log.d("Location fetched:", "${this.location?.latitude}, ${this.location?.longitude}")
      tvLocation.text = "Latitude: ${this.location?.latitude}\nLongitude: ${this.location?.longitude}"
  }
