Requirmenets
Location permissions in [AndroidManifest.xml](app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml#L8-L9)
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />

How to use
Geofence
- Create [Receiver](app/src/main/java/com/sprotte/geolocator/demo/kotlin/GeofenceIntentService.kt)
class GeofenceIntentService : GeofenceIntentService() {
override fun onGeofence(geofence: Geofence) {
Log.v(GeoFenceIntentService::class.java.simpleName, "onGeofence $geofence")
}
}
Add receiver to your [manifest](app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml#L45-L47)
<service android:name=".kotlin.GeoFenceIntentService" android:permission="android.permission.BIND_JOB_SERVICE" />
[Start geofence tracking](app/src/main/java/com/sprotte/geolocator/demo/kotlin/MainActivity.kt#L33-L46)
val geofence = Geofence(
id = UUID.randomUUID().toString(),
latitude = 51.0899232,
longitude = 5.968358,
radius = 30.0,
title = "Germany",
message = "Entered Germany",
transitionType = GEOFENCE_TRANSITION_ENTER
)
Geofencer(this).addGeofence(geofence, GeoFenceIntentService::class.java) { /* successfully added geofence */ }
Location Tracker
- Create [Receiver](app/src/main/java/com/sprotte/geolocator/demo/kotlin/LocationTrackerService.kt)
class LocationTrackerService : LocationTrackerUpdateIntentService() {
override fun onLocationResult(locationResult: LocationResult) {
Log.v(GeoFenceIntentService::class.java.simpleName, "onLocationResult $location")
}
}
Add receiver to [manifest](app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml#L49-L51)
<service android:name=".kotlin.LocationTrackerService" android:permission="android.permission.BIND_JOB_SERVICE" />
[Start tracking](app/src/main/java/com/sprotte/geolocator/demo/kotlin/MainActivity.kt#L48-L51)
LocationTracker.requestLocationUpdates(this, LocationTrackerService::class.java)
- Stop tracking
LocationTracker.removeLocationUpdates(requireContext())
How to use in Java
Geofence
- Create [Receiver](app/src/main/java/com/sprotte/geolocator/demo/java/GeofenceIntentService.java)
public class GeoFenceIntentService extends GeofenceIntentService {
@Override
public void onGeofence(@NotNull Geofence geofence) {
Log.v(GeoFenceIntentService.class.getSimpleName(), "onGeofence " + geofence);
}
}
Add receiver to your [manifest](app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml#L63-L65)
<service android:name=".java.GeoFenceIntentService" android:permission="android.permission.BIND_JOB_SERVICE" />
[Start geofence tracking](app/src/main/java/com/sprotte/geolocator/demo/java/AddGeoFenceActivity.java#L48-L63)

"Germany",
"Entered Germany",
GEOFENCE_TRANSITION_ENTER);
Geofencer geofencer = new Geofencer(this);
geofencer.addGeofence(geofence, GeoFenceIntentService.class,
() -> /* successfully added geofence */ Unit.INSTANCE);
Location Tracker
- Create [Receiver](app/src/main/java/com/sprotte/geolocator/demo/java/LocationTrackerService.java)
public class LocationTrackerService extends LocationTrackerUpdateIntentService {
@Override
public void onLocationResult(@NotNull LocationResult location) {
Log.v(GeoFenceIntentService.class.getSimpleName(), "onLocationResult " + location); );
}
}
Add receiver to [manifest](app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml#L66-L68)

LocationTracker.INSTANCE.requestLocationUpdates(this, LocationTrackerService.class);
- Stop tracking
LocationTracker.INSTANCE.removeLocationUpdates(this);
How to install
jCenter / mavenCentral
implementation 'com.sprotte:Geolocator:latest'
or Jiptack
Step 1. Add the JitPack repository to your build file
Add it in your root build.gradle at the end of repositories:
allprojects {
repositories {
maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}
}
Step 2. Add the dependency
dependencies {
implementation 'com.github.exozet:Geolocator:latest'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:17.0.0'
}
Configuration
Default Location tracking update intervals can be overriden, by adding following parameter into your app/res/ - folder, e.g. [app/res/config.xml](app/src/main/res/values/config.xml#L4-L7)
<!-- Location Tracker -->
<integer name="location_update_interval_in_millis">0</integer>
<integer name="location_fastest_update_interval_in_millis">0</integer>
<integer name="location_max_wait_time_interval_in_millis">0</integer>
<integer name="location_min_distance_for_updates_in_meters">0</integer>
<!-- Geofencer -->
<integer name="loitering_delay">1</integer>
<integer name="notification_responsiveness">1</integer>
<integer name="expiration_duration">-1</integer> // -1 == NEVER_EXPIRE
You can also set this values at runtime in some step before call method requestLocationUpdates
int interval = 1000;
int fastestInterval = 2000;
int priority = LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY;
int maxWaitTime = 10000;
int smallestDisplacement = 20;
LocationTrackerParams locationTrackerParams = new LocationTrackerParams(
interval, fastestInterval, priority, maxWaitTime, smallestDisplacement);
LocationTracker.INSTANCE.requestLocationUpdates(this, LocationTrackerService.class, locationTrackerParams);
LocationTrackerParams is a open class for kotlin or a not final class for java, so if you don't need to setup all params you can extend it.
