Android上的LocationManager API似乎对一个只需要偶尔粗略估计用户位置的应用程序来说有点麻烦。
我正在开发的应用程序本身并不是一个定位应用程序，但它确实需要获取用户的位置，以便显示附近企业的列表。它不需要担心用户是否在移动或类似的事情。
以下是我想做的：
向用户显示附近位置的列表。预加载用户的位置，以便在“活动X”中需要它时，它将可用。我并不特别关心更新的准确性或频率。只要不太远，只要抓住一个位置就足够了。也许如果我想变得更漂亮，我会每隔几分钟左右更新一次位置，但这不是一个很大的优先事项。适用于任何具有GPS或网络位置提供商的设备。
这似乎并不难，但在我看来，我必须组建两个不同的位置提供商（GPS和NETWORK），并管理每个提供商的生命周期。不仅如此，我还必须在多个活动中复制相同的代码以满足#2。过去，我曾尝试使用getBestProvider（）将解决方案简化为仅使用一个位置提供程序，但这似乎只提供了最好的“理论”提供程序，而不是实际会为您提供最佳结果的提供程序。
有没有更简单的方法来实现这一点？

建议使用LocationClient：
首先，定义位置更新间隔值。根据您的需要进行调整。
private static final int MILLISECONDS_PER_SECOND = 1000;
private static final long UPDATE_INTERVAL = MILLISECONDS_PER_SECOND * UPDATE_INTERVAL_IN_SECONDS;
private static final int FASTEST_INTERVAL_IN_SECONDS = 1;
private static final long FASTEST_INTERVAL = MILLISECONDS_PER_SECOND * FASTEST_INTERVAL_IN_SECONDS;
让您的活动实现GooglePlayServicesClient.ConnectionCallbacks、GooglePlayServicesClient OnConnectionFailedListener和LocationListener。
public class LocationActivity extends Activity implements
GooglePlayServicesClient.ConnectionCallbacks, GooglePlayServicesClient.OnConnectionFailedListener, LocationListener {}
然后，在Activity的onCreate（）方法中设置LocationClient：
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
mLocationClient = new LocationClient(this, this, this);
mLocationRequest = LocationRequest.create();
mLocationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
mLocationRequest.setInterval(UPDATE_INTERVAL);
mLocationRequest.setFastestInterval(FASTEST_INTERVAL);
}
将所需方法添加到“活动”中；onConnected（）是LocationClient连接时调用的方法。onLocationChanged（）是检索最新位置的位置。
@Override
public void onConnectionFailed(ConnectionResult connectionResult) {
Log.w(TAG, "Location client connection failed");
}
@Override
public void onConnected(Bundle dataBundle) {
Log.d(TAG, "Location client connected");
mLocationClient.requestLocationUpdates(mLocationRequest, this);
}
@Override
public void onDisconnected() {
Log.d(TAG, "Location client disconnected");
}
@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
if (location != null) {
Log.d(TAG, "Updated Location: " + Double.toString(location.getLatitude()) + "," + Double.toString(location.getLongitude()));
} else {
Log.d(TAG, "Updated location NULL");
}
}
确保连接/断开LocationClient，以便它仅在绝对必要时使用额外的电池，这样GPS不会无限期运行。LocationClient必须连接才能从中获取数据。
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
mLocationClient.connect();
}
public void onStop() {
if (mLocationClient.isConnected()) {
mLocationClient.removeLocationUpdates(this);
}
mLocationClient.disconnect();
super.onStop();
}
获取用户的位置。首先尝试使用LocationClient；如果失败，请返回LocationManager。
public Location getLocation() {
if (mLocationClient != null && mLocationClient.isConnected()) {
return mLocationClient.getLastLocation();
} else {
LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) this.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
if (locationManager != null) {
Location lastKnownLocationGPS = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
if (lastKnownLocationGPS != null) {
return lastKnownLocationGPS;
} else {
return locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
}
} else {
return null;
}
}
}

这是我请求用户权限的方式。
在AndroidManifest.xml中的应用程序标记外添加这些权限请求。
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
然后在App Gradle文件中添加Google的位置依赖项。
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:15.0.0'
现在声明一些全局变量。
private lateinit var mFusedLocationProvider:FusedLocationProviderClient
private lateinit var mLocationCallback: LocationCallback
private lateinit var mLocationRequest: LocationRequest
private var mLocationPermissionGranted:Boolean = false
在活动的OnCreate方法中（我无法正确格式化代码，对此深表歉意）
mFusedLocationProvider = LocationServices.getFusedLocationProviderClient(this)
//Location Callback
mLocationCallback = object: LocationCallback(){
override fun onLocationResult(p0: LocationResult?) {
if(p0==null){
//todo(request user to enable location from settings then remove return)
return
}else{
getDeviceLocation()
}
}
}
//Location Request
mLocationRequest = LocationRequest.create()
mLocationRequest.priority = LocationRequest.PRIORITY_BALANCED_POWER_ACCURACY
//Set the Interval for Latest Interval Update
mLocationRequest.interval = 5000
//Set How Many Location Updated you Want
mLocationRequest.numUpdates = 1
getLocationPermission()
getDeviceLocation()
现在创建这两个函数。
private fun getLocationPermission() {
val permission:Array<String> = arrayOf(android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION,android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION)
if(ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(applicationContext,Constant.FINE_LOCATION)== PermissionChecker.PERMISSION_GRANTED){
if(ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(applicationContext,Constant.COARSE_LOCATION)== PermissionChecker.PERMISSION_GRANTED){
mLocationPermissionGranted = true
}
}else{
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this,permission,Constant.LOCATION_REQUEST_CODE)
}
}
第二种方法
private fun getDeviceLocation() {
try{
if(mLocationPermissionGranted){
mFusedLocationProvider.lastLocation.addOnCompleteListener(this,{task: Task<Location> ->
if(task.isSuccessful){
var currentLocation: Location? = task.result
if(currentLocation!=null){
Log.i("Location","Latitude is ${currentLocation.latitude} and Longitude" +
"${currentLocation.longitude}")
}
else
mFusedLocationProvider.requestLocationUpdates(mLocationRequest,mLocationCallback,null)
}
})
}
}catch (e:SecurityException){
Log.e("Error", "Security Exception ${e.message}")
}
}
对于常量.kt
class Constant{
companion object {
//Location Request Settings
const val SET_INTERVAL:Long = 2000
const val NUM_UPDATES:Int = 1
//Location Permission
const val FINE_LOCATION:String = android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
const val COARSE_LOCATION:String = android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION
}
}
我已经创建了一个小应用程序，并逐步描述以获取当前位置GPS坐标。
以下URL中的完整示例源代码：
获取当前位置坐标，城市名称-在Android中
查看其工作原理：
我们只需要在清单文件中添加此权限<uses permission android:name=“android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION”></使用权限>并像这样创建LocationManager实例LocationManager LocationManager=（LocationManager）getSystemService（Context.LOCATION_SERVICE）；检查GPS是否已启用然后实现LocationListener和Get CoordinatesLocationListener LocationListener=新的MyLocationListeners（）；locationManager.requestLocationUpdates（LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER，5000，10，locationListener）；下面是要做的示例代码
/*----------Listener class to get coordinates ------------- */
private class MyLocationListener implements LocationListener {
@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location loc) {
editLocation.setText("");
pb.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
Toast.makeText(
getBaseContext(),
"Location changed: Lat: " + loc.getLatitude() + " Lng: "
+ loc.getLongitude(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
String longitude = "Longitude: " + loc.getLongitude();
Log.v(TAG, longitude);
String latitude = "Latitude: " + loc.getLatitude();
Log.v(TAG, latitude);
/*-------to get City-Name from coordinates -------- */
String cityName = null;
Geocoder gcd = new Geocoder(getBaseContext(), Locale.getDefault());
List<Address> addresses;
try {
addresses = gcd.getFromLocation(loc.getLatitude(),
loc.getLongitude(), 1);
if (addresses.size() > 0)
System.out.println(addresses.get(0).getLocality());
cityName = addresses.get(0).getLocality();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
String s = longitude + "\n" + latitude + "\n\nMy Current City is: "
+ cityName;
editLocation.setText(s);
}
@Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {}
@Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {}
@Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {}
}
以下是我所做的：
首先，我检查是否启用了网络或GPS提供商。有些可能在设备上禁用，有些可能在应用程序清单中禁用。如果启用了任何提供程序，我将获取该提供程序的缓存最后位置，并启动该提供程序位置更新侦听器。有一种方法可以确定某个位置是否优于链接中提到的上次接收位置：-https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/location/strategies.html#BestEstimate如果我从位置侦听器获得更新，我会检查这个位置是否比以前接收的位置更好。以及如果它比将此位置替换为先前的最佳位置（mFinalLocation）更好。还有一个两分钟的处理程序（计时器），它最终会停止服务，在服务的onDestroy（）方法中，停止侦听每个提供程序的位置更新。
以下是服务代码。您可以根据需要的位置更新频率运行它。
