I'm an Android noob and also this is my first post on stackoverflow. I've been trying for some time to find a solution to my problem but couldn't find anything so that's why I'm asking here.
I'm trying to make an app that has a courier activity and a client activity. In the courier activity i'm trying to get the current location of the user periodically (preferably every few seconds). I've seen several examples online with LocationRequest() but when i try it in my code it says that it's deprecated now.
Here is my code so far:
public class CurierMapActivity extends FragmentActivity implements OnMapReadyCallback {
private GoogleMap mMap;
private ActivityCurierMapBinding binding;
private Button btn_logout;
@RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.M)
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
binding = ActivityCurierMapBinding.inflate(getLayoutInflater());
setContentView(binding.getRoot());
// Obtain the SupportMapFragment and get notified when the map is ready to be used.
SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
.findFragmentById(R.id.map);
mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
btn_logout = findViewById(R.id.btn_logout_curier);
btn_logout.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
FirebaseAuth.getInstance().signOut();
Intent intent = new Intent(CurierMapActivity.this, MainActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
finish();
}
});
}
@RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.M)
@Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
checkLocationPermission();
FusedLocationProviderClient mFusedLocationClient = LocationServices.getFusedLocationProviderClient(this);
mFusedLocationClient.getLastLocation().addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<Location>() {
@Override
public void onSuccess(Location location) {
if(location != null) {
LatLng my_position = new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());
mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(my_position).title("My position"));
mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(my_position));
} else {
Log.d("locatie", "Locatia nu a fost transmisa");
}
}
});
}
@RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.M)
public void checkLocationPermission() {
if (checkSelfPermission(Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(this,
Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)) {
} else {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this,
new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION},
1234);
}
}
}
}
Right now I'm only getting the current location once and I can't seem to figure out how to get it every few seconds and also transfer it to the other activity.
Please help
