react-native-location-finder v0.0.4

react-native-location-finder

In this library, we can easily get the information of current location by just passing four parameters.

First,

In the version of 0.0.2, this package depends on two other libraries, which are react-native and react-native-geolocation-service.

import { PermissionsAndroid, Platform,} from 'react-native';
import Geolocation from 'react-native-geolocation-service';

How to implement

Step 1

Add following lines inside /android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml

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

Step 2

Add following command in /android/build.gradle

buildscript {
    ext {
        compileSdkVersion = 30
        targetSdkVersion = 30
         // Other dependencies
        googlePlayServicesVersion = "17.0.0" // ---- ADD THIS LINE
    }
    repositories {
        google()
       // Other dependencies
    }
}

Step 3

If the location permission is granted, then don't waste your time by reading the next sentence. If not, we have to manually go to Application setting and allow the location permission. I know, its weird. In the next version, we will rectify this.

Cheers!!!

import { locationFinder } from 'react-native-location-finder';

let params = { Geolocation: Geolocation, Platform: Platform, PermissionsAndroid: Platform.OS === 'android' ? PermissionsAndroid : '', GoogleApiKey: 'your Google API KEY', };

const country = locationFinder(params);

## Explanation
