So I have implemented the new Fused Location Provider API to get a location of the user but for some reason, I cannot get any location unless the GPS is on. Not always, will users have their GPS on and I would like to not have to ask them to turn their GPS on every time the load the app. How can I tell the API to give me a location with whatever provider it has available?
Here is my code:
public class FusedLocationService implements
LocationListener,
GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks,
GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener {
public interface OnLocationChangedListener {
public void OnLocationChanged(Location location);
}
private final String TAG = "SE8611";
private boolean mRequestingLocationUpdates = true;
private OnLocationChangedListener mCallBack;
Service locationService;
private LocationRequest locationRequest;
private GoogleApiClient googleApiClient;
private Location mCurrentLocation;
private FusedLocationProviderApi fusedLocationProviderApi = LocationServices.FusedLocationApi;
public FusedLocationService(Service locationService, final long INTERVAL, final long FASTEST_INTERVAL) {
Logger.log(TAG, "FusedLocationService called");
this.mCallBack = (OnLocationChangedListener)locationService;
locationRequest = LocationRequest.create();
locationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
locationRequest.setInterval(INTERVAL);
locationRequest.setFastestInterval(FASTEST_INTERVAL);
this.locationService = locationService;
googleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(locationService)
.addApi(LocationServices.API)
.addConnectionCallbacks(this)
.addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
.build();
if (googleApiClient != null) {
googleApiClient.connect();
}
}
@Override
public void onConnected(Bundle connectionHint) {
if(mRequestingLocationUpdates) {
startLocationUpdates();
}else{
Logger.log(TAG, "Location updates are already running.");
}
}
protected void startLocationUpdates() {
this.fusedLocationProviderApi.requestLocationUpdates(
googleApiClient, locationRequest, this);
this.mRequestingLocationUpdates = false;
}
@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location mCurrentLocation) {
Logger.log(TAG, "onLocationChanged called");
this.mCurrentLocation = mCurrentLocation;
this.mCallBack.OnLocationChanged(this.mCurrentLocation);
}
public void startLocationUpdatesAfterResume(){
if (googleApiClient.isConnected() && !mRequestingLocationUpdates) {
Logger.log(TAG, "startLocationUpdatesAfterResume called");
this.startLocationUpdates();
}
}
public void stopLocationUpdates() {
Logger.log(TAG, "stopping Location Updates");
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.removeLocationUpdates(
googleApiClient, this);
}
public Location getLocation() {
return this.mCurrentLocation;
}
@Override
public void onConnectionSuspended(int i) {
this.mRequestingLocationUpdates = true;
}
@Override
public void onConnectionFailed(ConnectionResult connectionResult) {
this.mRequestingLocationUpdates = true;
}
}
