About

RX-location-services is a simple rxJava3 wrapper around some of Androids Location APIs. Currently supported:

• GoogleLocationService - using GoogleFusedLocationProvider for Location updates
• AndroidLocationService - using LocationManager for Location updates
• BearingSensorService - using accelerometer and magnetic sensor for bearing updates

Gradle

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.ericneid:rx-location-services:0.7.0'
}

Usage

// create service instances in application
// you can use lazy loading, because applicationContext is only available after onCreate
val locationServiceGoogle: GoogleLocationService by lazy { GoogleLocationService(applicationContext) }

val locationServiceAndroid: AndroidLocationService by lazy { AndroidLocationService(applicationContext) }

val bearingService: BearingSensorService by lazy { BearingSensorService(applicationContext) }

// do not forget to dispose subscription
subscriptions.add(locationServiceGoogle.getLocationUpdates()
    .observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
    .subscribe({ location ->
        myLocationConsumer.onLocationChanged(location)
    }, { error ->
        // handle error
    }))

subscriptions.add(bearingService.getBearingUpdatesFromRotation()
    .observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
    .subscribe({ bearing ->
        myBearingConsumer.onBearingChanged(bearing.azimuth)
    }, { error ->
        // handle error
    }))
