Get User Location (Android) Follow
This article describes how to get the user’s location using the Android SDK.
Get a User’s Location
A user’s most recent location can be retrieved with the LocationRequest class. This request is asynchronous.
private LocationRequest request = null; private static final EditorKey appKey = new EditorKey("5809862863224832"); @Override public void onResume() { super.onResume(); request = LocationRequest.requestCurrentLocation(getActivity(), appKey, new LocationRequest.LocationRequestListener() { @Override public void onResult(MeridianLocation location) { // Update UI with new Location } @Override public void onError(LocationRequest.ErrorType location) { // Notify user that there was an error retrieving the location } }); } @Override public void onPause() { if (request != null && request.isRunning()) { request.cancel(); request = null; } super.onPause(); }
Get Continuous Updates About a User’s Location
MeridianLocationManager determines the user’s location by gathering all available location data for your Meridian-powered app. Implement the MeridianLocationManager.LocationUpdateListener interface to get callbacks as new locations are gathered.
// In an Activity that implements the LocationUpdateListener interface private static final EditorKey appKey = new EditorKey("5809862863224832"); private MeridianLocationManager locationHelper; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); locationHelper = new MeridianLocationManager(this, appKey, this); // Build out the UI ... } @Override protected void onStart() { locationHelper.startListeningForLocation(); super.onStart(); } @Override protected void onStop() { locationHelper.stopListeningForLocation(); super.onStop(); } @Override public void onLocationUpdate(MeridianLocation location) { // Update the UI with the new location } @Override public void onLocationError(Throwable tr) { // Update the UI to inform the user that their location could not be determined. }
