This JAVA Class Helps The Users To Determine Their Current Location Easily, Efficiently & Hassle-Free.
/*
FEATURES:
- One Line Implementation
- Simple Calls To Retreive Latitude & Longitude In DOUBLE Format
- Simple Calls To Retreive Latitude & Longitude In STRING Format
- Detects GPS And Location Services Availability
- Redirects To The Location Settings If Services Found Disabled
- Returns Location Accurate Upto 10 Metres
- Returns Location Offline - Without Internet Connectivity; COURTESY - OffPay
- Returns Last Known Location In Case Of No Network Connectivity
- Customizable & Modifiable For Easy Reactive Use
- Custom Listeners & Easily Usable As A Broadcast Receiver Or Unlimited Cycle Service
USAGE:
- Initialize It Your JAVA Class Like This:
GPSTracker gps = new GPSTracker(getApplicationContext());
- Custom Function To Handle Returns
private void getCoordinates() {
if (gps.canGetLocation()) {
Double dlatitude = gps.getLatitude();
Double dlongitude = gps.getLongitude();
String slatitude = gps.getStringLatitude();
String slongitude = gps.getStringLongtitude();
}
else {
gps.showSettingsAlert();
}
}
