Plugin that enables an application to access the GPS capabilities of the users device. For example the latitude, longitude and the altitude of the users device.


Google Play services requirement

In order for the plugin to work properly on an Android device, Google Play services must be installed on the device.


Key features

  • Get the location of the device.

  • Setup watches for location updates.

  • Clear watches of updates.

 

How to use this plugin?

Retrieving the current position can be done as a single act by using the action GetLocation. If everything runs without errors, the Location is returned.

 

It is also possible to keep track of the position, for that, a combination of WatchPosition and LocationTracker should be used. Use the WatchPosition to register a watcher and place LocationTracker anywhere in the interface in order to register an event handler for OnChangedPosition event. Remember that, if a screen redirect happens and the new screen doesn’t contain LocationTracker, no OnChangedPosition event will be triggered.

Starting on version 5.1.0 the plugin can be used in web browsers and PWAs.
