Flutter Location Plugin #

This plugin handle getting location on Android and iOS. It also provides callbacks when location is changed.

Getting Started #

In order to use this plugin in Android, you have to add this permission in AndroidManifest.xml :

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />

And to use it in iOS, you have to add this permission in Info.plist :

NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription
NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription

Then you just have to import the package with

import 'package:location/location.dart';

Look into the example for utilisation, but a basic implementation can be done like this for one time call :

Map<String,double> location;
// Platform messages may fail, so we use a try/catch PlatformException.
try {
  location = await _location.getLocation;
} on PlatformException {
  location = null;
}

You can also get continuous callbacks when you position is changing :

StreamSubscription<Map<String,double>> _locationSubscription;
Location _location = new Location();

_locationSubscription =
    _location.onLocationChanged.listen((Map<String,double> result) {
      setState(() {
        _currentLocation = result;
      });
    });
