This library allows you to find the user's approx location based on network call. No Location specific permission check required. Simple and Easy!
This library DO NOT need following permissions
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
To get started with RoughLocations, you'll need to get
add the dependency to your project's (app level) build.gradle file:
dependencies {
//other dependencies
implementation 'info.ankurpandya.roughlocation:roughlocation:1.0.4'
}
and sync up your project. If you get error Could not resolve all files while gralde Sync, then make sure you have added jcenter() repositories in your Projet level build.gradle file:
allprojects {
repositories {
//other repositories
jcenter()
}
}
Good. Now you are all set to use RoughLocations.
In order to retrieve the location, call this method:
RoughLocationFetcher.getLocationInBackground(context, new LocationListener() {
@Override
public void onLocationReceived(RoughLocation roughLocation) {
//handle location success
}
@Override
public void onLocationFailed() {
//handle location failed
}
@Override
public void onNetworkError() {
//handle network error
}
});
