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?


当前回答

我已经在demonuts.com上写了详细的教程,介绍了当前位置。您可以在这里找到更多描述,也可以下载整个演示源代码以更好地理解。

这里已经有很多答案,但我想展示使用Google API获取位置的最新方法,这样新程序员就可以使用新方法:

首先,将其放在gradle文件中

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0'

然后实现必要的接口

public class MainActivity  extends BaseActivitiy implements GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks, GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener, com.google.android.gms.location.LocationListener

声明实例

  private GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;
  private Location mLocation;
  private LocationManager locationManager;
  private LocationRequest mLocationRequest;

将其放入onCreate()中

 mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
                .addConnectionCallbacks(this)
                .addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
                .addApi(LocationServices.API)
                .build();
        locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);

最后,重写必要的方法

 @Override
    public void onConnected(Bundle bundle) {
        if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            // TODO: Consider calling
            //    ActivityCompat#requestPermissions
            // here to request the missing permissions, and then overriding
            //   public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions,
            //                                          int[] grantResults)
            // to handle the case where the user grants the permission. See the documentation
            // for ActivityCompat#requestPermissions for more details.
            return;
        }
        mLocation = LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation(mGoogleApiClient);
        if(mLocation == null){
            startLocationUpdates();
        }
        if (mLocation != null) {
            double latitude = mLocation.getLatitude();
            double longitude = mLocation.getLongitude();
        } else {
            // Toast.makeText(this, "Location not Detected", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    }

    protected void startLocationUpdates() {
        // Create the location request
        mLocationRequest = LocationRequest.create()
                .setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY)
                .setInterval(UPDATE_INTERVAL)
                .setFastestInterval(FASTEST_INTERVAL);
        // Request location updates
        if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            // TODO: Consider calling
            //    ActivityCompat#requestPermissions
            // here to request the missing permissions, and then overriding
            //   public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions,
            //                                          int[] grantResults)
            // to handle the case where the user grants the permission. See the documentation
            // for ActivityCompat#requestPermissions for more details.
            return;
        }
        LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient,
                mLocationRequest, this);
        Log.d("reque", "--->>>>");
    }

    @Override
    public void onConnectionSuspended(int i) {
        Log.i(TAG, "Connection Suspended");
        mGoogleApiClient.connect();
    }

    @Override
    public void onConnectionFailed(ConnectionResult connectionResult) {
        Log.i(TAG, "Connection failed. Error: " + connectionResult.getErrorCode());
    }

    @Override
    public void onStart() {
        super.onStart();
        mGoogleApiClient.connect();
    }

    @Override
    public void onStop() {
        super.onStop();
        if (mGoogleApiClient.isConnected()) {
            mGoogleApiClient.disconnect();
        }
    }
    @Override
    public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {

    }

在运行应用程序之前,不要忘记在设备中启动GPS。

其他回答

在Activity Class中创建自定义方法:

private void getTheUserPermission() {
        ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]
                {Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION}, REQUEST_LOCATION);
        locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
        LocationGetter locationGetter = new LocationGetter(FreshMenuSearchActivity.this, REQUEST_LOCATION, locationManager);


        if (!locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER)) {

            locationGetter.OnGPS();
        } else {

            locationGetter.getLocation();
        }
    }

生成用户定义的类名LocationGetter:-

public class LocationGetter {

        private int REQUEST_LOCATION;
        private FreshMenuSearchActivity mContext;
        private LocationManager locationManager;
        private Geocoder geocoder;

        public LocationGetter(FreshMenuSearchActivity mContext, int requestLocation, LocationManager locationManager) {
            this.mContext = mContext;
            this.locationManager = locationManager;
            this.REQUEST_LOCATION = requestLocation;
        }


        public void getLocation() {

            if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(mContext, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(mContext,

                    Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(mContext, new String[]
                        {Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION}, REQUEST_LOCATION);
            } else {
                Location LocationGps = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
                Location LocationNetwork = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
                Location LocationPassive = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.PASSIVE_PROVIDER);

                if (LocationGps != null) {
                    double lat = LocationGps.getLatitude();
                    double longi = LocationGps.getLongitude();
                    getTheAddress(lat, longi);
                } else if (LocationNetwork != null) {
                    double lat = LocationNetwork.getLatitude();
                    double longi = LocationNetwork.getLongitude();
                    getTheAddress(lat, longi);
                } else if (LocationPassive != null) {
                    double lat = LocationPassive.getLatitude();
                    double longi = LocationPassive.getLongitude();
                    getTheAddress(lat, longi);
                } else {
                    Toast.makeText(mContext, "Can't Get Your Location", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }

            }

        }

        private void getTheAddress(double latitude, double longitude) {
            List<Address> addresses;
            geocoder = new Geocoder(mContext, Locale.getDefault());

            try {
                addresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(latitude, longitude, 1);
                String address = addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(0);
                String city = addresses.get(0).getLocality();
                String state = addresses.get(0).getAdminArea();
                String country = addresses.get(0).getCountryName();
                String postalCode = addresses.get(0).getPostalCode();
                String knownName = addresses.get(0).getFeatureName();
                Log.d("neel", address);
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }


        }

        public void OnGPS() {

            final AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(mContext);

            builder.setMessage("Enable GPS").setCancelable(false).setPositiveButton("YES", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                    mContext.startActivity(new Intent(Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS));
                }
            }).setNegativeButton("NO", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {

                    dialog.cancel();
                }
            });
            final AlertDialog alertDialog = builder.create();
            alertDialog.show();
        }

    }

实际上,我们可以使用两个提供商(GPS和网络)。他们只是分享一个公共听众:

locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 10 * 1000, (float) 10.0, listener);
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 90 * 1000, (float) 10.0, listener);

这是必要的,因为总是需要及时调用OnLocationChanged()方法。

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。

        }
    }
}

使用Fedor的解决方案,我经历了多次执行回调gotLocation。当gotLocation方法“足够长”时,这似乎是由于重写的LocationListener.onLocationChanged方法中的竞争条件所致。我不确定,但我猜removeUpdates会阻止Looper队列中新消息的入队,但它不会删除那些已经入队但尚未使用的消息。这就是比赛条件。

为了减少这种错误行为的可能性,可以在激发onLocationChanged事件之前调用removeUpdates,但我们仍然有竞争条件。

我找到的最佳解决方案是用requestSingleUpdate替换requestLocationUpdates。

这是我的版本,基于Fedor的解决方案,使用Handler向looper线程发送消息:

public class LocationResolver {
    private Timer timer;
    private LocationManager locationManager;
    private LocationResult locationResult;
    private boolean gpsEnabled = false;
    private boolean networkEnabled = false;
    private Handler locationTimeoutHandler;

    private final Callback locationTimeoutCallback = new Callback() {
        public boolean handleMessage(Message msg) {
            locationTimeoutFunc();
            return true;
        }

我从定制的looper线程中使用这个类,如下所示:

public class LocationGetter {
    private final Context context;
    private Location location = null;
    private final Object gotLocationLock = new Object();
    private final LocationResult locationResult = new LocationResult() {            
        @Override
        public void gotLocation(Location location) {
            synchronized (gotLocationLock) {
                LocationGetter.this.location = location;
                gotLocationLock.notifyAll();
                Looper.myLooper().quit();
            }
        }
    };

    public LocationGetter(Context context) {
        if (context == null)
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("context == null");

        this.context = context;
    }

    public synchronized Coordinates getLocation(int maxWaitingTime, int updateTimeout) {
        try {
            final int updateTimeoutPar = updateTimeout;
            synchronized (gotLocationLock) {            
                new Thread() {
                    public void run() {
                        Looper.prepare();
                        LocationResolver locationResolver = new LocationResolver();
                        locationResolver.prepare();
                        locationResolver.getLocation(context, locationResult, updateTimeoutPar);
                        Looper.loop();
                    }
                }.start();

                gotLocationLock.wait(maxWaitingTime);
            }
        } catch (InterruptedException e1) {
            e1.printStackTrace();
        }

        if (location != null)
            coordinates = new Coordinates(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());
        else
            coordinates = Coordinates.UNDEFINED;
        return coordinates; 
    }
}

其中Coordinates是一个简单的类,具有两个财产:纬度和经度。

地理定位的简单和最佳方式。
