LOCATION

Version

Current version uses Google Play Services 9.8.0.

Version will follows google play services version so that it is going to be even easier to implement.

HOW TO

Dependencies

dependencies {
    ...
    compile('com.tengio:location:latest_version') {
        transitive = true;    
    }
}

By adding locations library dependency you will automatically get the following dependencies:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:9.8.0'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v13:25.0.0'

Android manifest

You need to add permission :

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

Activity or Fragment

private LocationClient locationClient = GoogleLocationClient.Builder.newInstance().build();

@Override
protected void onResume() {
    ...
    locationClient.register(new LocationListener() {
                @Override
                public void onProviderDisabled() {
                    Log.d(TAG, "GPS Disabled");
                }
    
                @Override
                public void onConnectionFailed() {
                    Log.e(TAG, "Error retrieving GPS signal");
                }
    
                @Override
                public void onShowRequestPermissionRationale() {
                    Log.d(TAG, "GPS Permission missing, inform the user");
                }
    
                @Override
                public void onPermissionDenied() {
                    Log.d(TAG, "GPS Permission denied");
                }
    
                @Override
                public void onLocationChanged(double latitude, double longitude) {
                    Log.i(TAG, "Latitude: " + latitude + "\nLongitude: " + longitude);
                }
            }, this);
}

@Override
protected void onPause() {
    ...
    locationClient.unregister();
}

The library asks for location permission to Marshmallow or greater devices. You have to pass the result to the library from your activity or fragment:

@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions, int[] grantResults) {
    ...
    locationClient.onRequestPermissionResult(this, requestCode, grantResults);
}

Library updates

We use bintray to deploy changes to jcenter. To deploy a new version make sure to define BINTRAY_USER and BINTRAY_KEY variables. Then run:

gradle bintrayUpload
