Getting the latitude and longitude in the Log console in mapbox

Question

I'm trying to get the lat, long coordinates as a precise float number, in order to make some calculations for my application. I want to receive the current float location every one second, so I can calculate the distance between 'a point' and my current location... how can I solve this problem? (I don't want to use my mobile app as a navigator). Below is the code that I have done till now.Have you got any ideas?

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements
        OnMapReadyCallback, PermissionsListener, OnLocationClickListener, OnCameraTrackingChangedListener {

    private PermissionsManager permissionsManager;
    private MapboxMap mapboxMap;
    private MapView mapView;
    private LocationComponent locationComponent;
    private boolean isInTrackingMode;


    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        // Mapbox access token is configured here. This needs to be called either in your application
        // object or in the same activity which contains the mapview.
        Mapbox.getInstance(this, getString(R.string.access_token));

        // This contains the MapView in XML and needs to be called after the access token is configured.
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        Log.d("LocOptionsActivity", "isInTrackingMode = " + isInTrackingMode);


        mapView = findViewById(R.id.mapView);
        mapView.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        mapView.getMapAsync(this);

    }

    @Override
    public void onMapReady(MapboxMap mapboxMap) {
        MainActivity.this.mapboxMap = mapboxMap;
        enableLocationComponent();

    }


   // @SuppressLint("WrongConstant")
    @SuppressWarnings( {"MissingPermission"})
    private void enableLocationComponent() {
        // Check if permissions are enabled and if not request
        if (PermissionsManager.areLocationPermissionsGranted(this)) {
            //
            LocationComponentOptions options = LocationComponentOptions.builder(this)
                    .elevation(5)
                    .accuracyAlpha(.6f)
                    .accuracyColor(Color.RED)
                    .foregroundDrawable(R.drawable.gps)
                    .build();

            // Get an instance of the component
            LocationComponent locationComponent = mapboxMap.getLocationComponent();

            locationComponent.setRenderMode(RenderMode.GPS);

            // Add the location icon click listener
            locationComponent.addOnLocationClickListener(this);

            // Add the camera tracking listener. Fires if the map camera is manually moved.

Answer 1

you must add location Engine to your location provider

private void enableLocationComponent() {
        locationEngine = new LocationEngineProvider(this).obtainLocationEngineBy(LocationEngine.Type.GOOGLE_PLAY_SERVICES);
        locationEngine.setInterval(1000);//this is means get location every 1 second
        locationEngine.setFastestInterval(1000);
        locationEngine.setPriority(LocationEnginePriority.HIGH_ACCURACY);
        locationEngine.addLocationEngineListener(new LocationEngineListener() {
            @SuppressLint("MissingPermission")
            @Override
            public void onConnected() {
                locationEngine.requestLocationUpdates();
            }

            @Override
            public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
                mCurrentLocation = location;
            }
        });
        locationEngine.activate();
        // Check if permissions are enabled and if not request
        if (PermissionsManager.areLocationPermissionsGranted(this)) {

            LocationComponentOptions options = LocationComponentOptions.builder(this)
                .elevation(5)
                .accuracyAlpha(.6f)
                .accuracyColor(Color.RED)
                .foregroundDrawable(R.drawable.gps)
                .build();
            // Get an instance of the component
            LocationComponent locationComponent = mapboxMap.getLocationComponent();

            //ADD THIS LINE 
            locationComponent.setLocationEngine(locationEngine);
            // Activate
            locationComponent.activateLocationComponent(this);

            // Enable to make component visible
            locationComponent.setLocationComponentEnabled(true);

            // Set the component's camera mode
            locationComponent.setCameraMode(CameraMode.TRACKING_GPS_NORTH);


            // Set the component's render mode
            locationComponent.setRenderMode(RenderMode.GPS);

            // Add the location icon click listener
            locationComponent.addOnLocationClickListener(this);

            // Add the camera tracking listener. Fires if the map camera is manually moved.
            locationComponent.addOnCameraTrackingChangedListener(this);


            //Set the component's zoom level
            locationComponent.zoomWhileTracking(22);

        } else {
            permissionsManager = new PermissionsManager(this);
            permissionsManager.requestLocationPermissions(this);
        }
    }

Don't forget add private LocationEngine locationEngine; above of onCreate()

And this dependencie

implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:16.0.0'
