android-location

Legacy library for Android applications, based on android-protips-location.

• Add the library to an existing Android application:

1. Right-click on your application in Eclipse -> Properties
2. Select Android -> Library
3. Click on Add ...
4. Select the library and click Ok

Usage

package de.s2hmobile.location;

import android.location.Location;
import android.os.Bundle;

import de.s2hmobile.location.LocationHelper;
import de.s2hmobile.location.LocationHelper.OnLocationUpdateListener;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        final Location location = LocationHelper.getLastBestLocation(this, 100);

        // TODO use last location here
        
        LocationHelper.requestLocation(this, new OnLocationUpdateListener(){

			@Override
			public void onLocationUpdate(Location location) {

				// TODO use updated location here

			}});
    }
}
