I would like to be able to determine my current location in an android project, in order to get the latitude and longitude of my position to use them in a specific method, I have reviewed the resolved questions, but I do not understand the code they have given in response , if you could give me a hand, I would appreciate it
As in one of the answers given to you in other questions, LocationManager
LocationManager lm = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
Location location = lm.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
double longitude = location.getLongitude();
double latitude = location.getLatitude();
This will bring you the current position, if there is no current position it will return null obviously but there is a method that does this work asynchronously
private final LocationListener locationListener = new LocationListener() {
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
longitude = location.getLongitude();
latitude = location.getLatitude();
}
}
lm.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 2000, 10, locationListener);
How to get latitude and longitude when starting the application:
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
String bestProvider = locationManager.getBestProvider(criteria, true);
Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(bestProvider);
if (location != null) {
onLocationChanged(location);
}
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(bestProvider, 20000, 0, this);
Did you see the documentation of Apache Cordova? There comes out how to do it, I achieve it but in ionic. I leave the link, greetings.
