Google Play API Installation

In case you haven't done it already, you will also need to install the corresponding Google Play SDK. To do this run

$ cd /path/to/your/android-sdk/tools
$ android sdk

and select the Google Play SDK extras as pictured below:

Example

var AndroidGeolocation = require('react-native-android-geolocation');

AndroidGeolocation.getCurrentLocation(
  (position) => this.setState({position: position}),
  (error) => this.setState({error: error})
);
