akpboston.blogg.se - Get current location android kotlin github

If I don't get any updates and timer elapses I have to use last known values.

If I get update from location listener I use the provided value.

It's 20 seconds in my example, may not be enough for GPS so you can enlarge it.

If any provider is available I start location listeners and timeout timer.

Some may be disabled on the device, some may be disabled in application manifest.

First of all I check what providers are enabled.

Is there a simpler way to accomplish this? I've tried using getBestProvider() in the past to cut the solution down to just using one location provider, but that seems to only give you the best "theoretical" provider rather than the provider that's actually going to give you the best results. Not only that, but I have to duplicate the same code in multiple activities to satisfy #2. It seems like it shouldn't be that hard, but it appears to me that I have to spin up two different location providers (GPS and NETWORK) and manage each's lifecycle.

Work for any device as long as it has either a GPS or a Network Location provider.

Maybe if I want to be fancy I'll update the location once every few mins or so, but it's not a huge priority. Just grabbing one location is sufficient as long as it's not way off.

I don't particularly care about accuracy or frequency of update.

Preload the user's location so that by the time I need it in Activity X, it will be available.Show the user a list of nearby locations.It doesn't need to worry about if the user is moving around or anything like that.

The app I'm working on isn't really a location app per se, but it does need to get the user's location in order to display a list of nearby businesses. The LocationManager API on Android seems like it's a bit of a pain to use for an application that only needs an occasional and rough approximation of the user's location.
