Showing the User's Location
MapLayr includes a LocationMarker
class which can be added to the MapView
to display the user's location.
Add the positionlayr-google
Dependency
The LocationMarker
class takes a LocationProvider
parameter, which is provided by the positionlayr-google
library. In your module build.gradle
file add the following dependency:
An example can be found here: app/build.gradle
Add a Location Marker
Then construct a LocationMarker
instance using either GoogleLocationId.HighAccuracy
, GoogleLocationId.Balanced
or GoogleLocationId.Passive
and add it to the map view. The position of the location marker will then automatically update with the user's location provided by Google location services.
val locationMarker = LocationMarker(GoogleLocationId.HighAccuracy)
mapView.addLocationMarker(locationMarker)
Location Permission
The MapLayr SDK does not handle location permissions so these must be implemented by the consuming application.
