LocGetter

_

Overview

Simple multithread-friendly library for getting latest user locations using RxJava 2.

Install

Gradle

Step 1. Add it in your root build.gradle at the end of repositories:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
}

Step 2. Add the dependency

dependencies {
    implementation 'codes.titanium:locgetter:1.2.0'
    implementation 'codes.titanium:connectableactivity:1.0.3'
}

Basic Usage

Main features:

• Getting updates of user locations
• Getting latest saved user location
• Getting current user location
• Catching all errors connects to getting locations

All you need is to create LocationGetter instance using LocationGetterBuilder

 LocationGetter locationGetter = new LocationGetterBuilder(getApplicationContext())
            .build();

Optional you can add to builder:

• Logger to get logs of everything happening inside LocationGetter
• Accept mock locations behavior

Start getting locations using one of methods for e.g.

locationGetter.getLatestLocation()
            .observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
            .subscribe(location -> {
                ((TextView) findViewById(R.id.locations_tv)).setText(location.toString());
            }, Throwable::printStackTrace);

More examples can be found in sample package with sample app.

Error handling

All exceptions are handled in library.

In case of no permissions -> user will be asked to give permissions, if user declines -> NoLocationPermission will be thrown

In case of turned off location -> user will be asked to turn it on, if user declines -> LocationSettingsException will be thrown

Accept mock locations behavior

By default mock locations are accepted. You can filter all mock locations that are received by location manager. Just set acceptMockLocations to false when you are building location getter.

In case if mock location will be received MockLocationException will be thrown with that mocked location and you can decide what to do with it.
