A Flutter geolocation plugin which provides easy access to platform specific location services ([FusedLocationProviderClient](https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/location/FusedLocationProviderClient) or if not available the [LocationManager](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/LocationManager) on Android and [CLLocationManager](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corelocation/cllocationmanager) on iOS).

## Features

* Get the last known location;
* Get the current location of the device;
* Get continuous location updates;
* Check if location services are enabled on the device;
* Calculate the distance (in meters) between two geocoordinates;
* Calculate the bearing between two geocoordinates;

> **IMPORTANT:**
> 
> Version 7.0.0 of the geolocator plugin contains several breaking changes, for a complete overview please have a look at the [Breaking changes in 7.0.0](https://github.com/Baseflow/flutter-geolocator/wiki/Breaking-changes-in-7.0.0) wiki page.
> 
> Starting from version 6.0.0 the geocoding features (`placemarkFromAddress` and `placemarkFromCoordinates`) are no longer part of the geolocator plugin. We have moved these features to their own plugin: [geocoding](https://pub.dev/packages/geocoding). This new plugin is an improved version of the old methods.

## Usage

To add the geolocator to your Flutter application read the [install](https://pub.dev/packages/geolocator/install) instructions. Below are some Android and iOS specifics that are required for the geolocator to work correctly.
  
<details>
<summary>Android</summary>
  
**Upgrade pre 1.12 Android projects**
  
Since version 5.0.0 this plugin is implemented using the Flutter 1.12 Android plugin APIs. Unfortunately this means App developers also need to migrate their Apps to support the new Android infrastructure. You can do so by following the [Upgrading pre 1.12 Android projects](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/wiki/Upgrading-pre-1.12-Android-projects) migration guide. Failing to do so might result in unexpected behaviour.

**AndroidX** 

The geolocator plugin requires the AndroidX version of the Android Support Libraries. This means you need to make sure your Android project supports AndroidX. Detailed instructions can be found [here](https://flutter.dev/docs/development/packages-and-plugins/androidx-compatibility). 

The TL;DR version is:

1. Add the following to your "gradle.properties" file:

```
android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true
```
2. Make sure you set the `compileSdkVersion` in your "android/app/build.gradle" file to 35:

```
android {
  compileSdkVersion 35

  ...
}
```
3. Make sure you replace all the `android.` dependencies to their AndroidX counterparts (a full list can be found here: [Migrating to AndroidX](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/migrate)).

**Permissions**

On Android you'll need to add the `ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION` permission to your Android Manifest, and the `ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION` permission if your app needs precise location. To do so open the AndroidManifest.xml file (located under android/app/src/main) and add the following line(s) as direct children of the `<manifest>` tag:

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

<!-- Include only if your app benefits from precise location access. -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
```

Since Android 12 (API level 31) users can grant only approximate location even when your app requests `ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION`, so request both permissions together in a single runtime request rather than `ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION` on its own.

Starting from Android 10 you need to add the `ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION` permission (next to the `ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION` or the `ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION` permission) if you want to continue receiving updates even when your App is running in the background:

``` xml
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION" />
```

Starting from Android 14 (SDK 34) the [`FOREGROUND_SERVICE_LOCATION`](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission#FOREGROUND_SERVICE_LOCATION) permission is required to run a foreground service of type location, which this plugin uses to keep delivering updates while your app is in the foreground. The plugin's own manifest already declares it, so it is merged into your app automatically — no action needed on your part.

> **NOTE:** Specifying the `ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION` permission results in location updates with an accuracy approximately equivalent to a city block. It might take a long time (minutes) before you will get your first locations fix as `ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION` will only use the network services to calculate the position of the device. More information can be found [here](https://developer.android.com/training/location/retrieve-current#permissions). 


</details>

<details>
<summary>iOS</summary>

On iOS you'll need to add the following entry to your Info.plist file (located under ios/Runner) in order to access the device's location. Simply open your Info.plist file and add the following (make sure you update the description so it is meaningful in the context of your App):

``` xml
<key>NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription</key>
<string>This app needs access to location when open.</string>
```

If you don't need to receive updates when your app is in the background, then add a compiler flag as follows: in XCode, click on Pods, choose the Target 'geolocator_apple', choose Build Settings, in the search box look for 'Preprocessor Macros' then add the `BYPASS_PERMISSION_LOCATION_ALWAYS=1` flag.
Setting this flag prevents your app from requiring the `NSLocationAlwaysAndWhenInUseUsageDescription` entry in Info.plist, and avoids questions from Apple when submitting your app. 

You can also have the flag set automatically by adding the following to the `ios/Podfile` of your application:
```agsl
post_install do |installer|
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    if target.name == "geolocator_apple"
      target.build_configurations.each do |config|
        config.build_settings['GCC_PREPROCESSOR_DEFINITIONS'] ||= ['$(inherited)', 'BYPASS_PERMISSION_LOCATION_ALWAYS=1']
      end
    end
  end
end
```

When your project uses Swift Package Manager (SPM) instead of CocoaPods, set the `BYPASS_PERMISSION_LOCATION_ALWAYS` environment variable to `1` when building. This defines the same preprocessor macro for the `geolocator_apple` package:
```bash
BYPASS_PERMISSION_LOCATION_ALWAYS=1 flutter build ios
```
Leaving the variable unset (or `0`) keeps the default behavior and requests the "always" authorization.

If you do want to receive updates when your App is in the background (or if you don't bypass the permission request as described above) then you'll need to:
* Add the Background Modes capability to your XCode project (Project > Signing and Capabilities > "+ Capability" button) and select Location Updates. Be careful with this, you will need to explain in detail to Apple why your App needs this when submitting your App to the AppStore. If Apple isn't satisfied with the explanation your App will be rejected.
* Add an `NSLocationAlwaysAndWhenInUseUsageDescription` entry to your Info.plist (use `NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription` if you're targeting iOS <11.0) 

When using the `requestTemporaryFullAccuracy({purposeKey: "YourPurposeKey"})` method, a dictionary should be added to the Info.plist file.
```xml
<key>NSLocationTemporaryUsageDescriptionDictionary</key>
<dict>
  <key>YourPurposeKey</key>
  <string>The example App requires temporary access to the device&apos;s precise location.</string>
</dict>
```
The second key (in this example called `YourPurposeKey`) should match the purposeKey that is passed in the `requestTemporaryFullAccuracy()` method. It is possible to define multiple keys for different features in your app. More information can be found in Apple's [documentation](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/information_property_list/nslocationtemporaryusagedescriptiondictionary).

> NOTE: the first time requesting temporary full accuracy access it might take several seconds for the pop-up to show. This is due to the fact that iOS is determining the exact user location which may take several seconds. Unfortunately this is out of our hands.
</details>

On iOS 16 and above you need to specify `UIBackgroundModes` `location` to receive location updates in the background.

``` xml
<key>UIBackgroundModes</key>
<array>
  <string>location</string>
</array>
```

<details>
<summary>macOS</summary>

On macOS you'll need to add the following entries to your Info.plist file (located under macOS/Runner) in order to access the device's location. Simply open your Info.plist file and add the following (make sure you update the description so it is meaningfull in the context of your App):

``` xml
<key>NSLocationUsageDescription</key>
<string>This app needs access to location.</string>
```

You will also have to add the following entry to the DebugProfile.entitlements and Release.entitlements files. This will declare that your App wants to make use of the device's location services and adds it to the list in the "System Preferences" -> "Security & Privace" -> "Privacy" settings.
```xml
<key>com.apple.security.personal-information.location</key>
<true/>
```

When using the `requestTemporaryFullAccuracy({purposeKey: "YourPurposeKey"})` method, a dictionary should be added to the Info.plist file.
```xml
<key>NSLocationTemporaryUsageDescriptionDictionary</key>
<dict>
  <key>YourPurposeKey</key>
  <string>The example App requires temporary access to the device&apos;s precise location.</string>
</dict>
```
The second key (in this example called `YourPurposeKey`) should match the purposeKey that is passed in the `requestTemporaryFullAccuracy()` method. It is possible to define multiple keys for different features in your app. More information can be found in Apple's [documentation](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/information_property_list/nslocationtemporaryusagedescriptiondictionary).

> NOTE: the first time requesting temporary full accuracy access it might take several seconds for the pop-up to show. This is due to the fact that macOS is determining the exact user location which may take several seconds. Unfortunately this is out of our hands.
</details>

<details>
<summary>Web</summary>

To use the Geolocator plugin on the web you need to be using Flutter 1.20 or higher. Flutter will automatically add the endorsed [geolocator_web]() package to your application when you add the `geolocator: ^6.2.0` dependency to your `pubspec.yaml`.

The following methods of the geolocator API are not supported on the web and will result in a `UnsupportedError`:

- `getLastKnownPosition({ bool forceAndroidLocationManager = true })`
- `openAppSettings()`
- `openLocationSettings()`
- `getServiceStatusStream()`

**NOTE**

Geolocator Web is available only in [secure_contexts](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Secure_Contexts) (HTTPS). More info about the Geolocator API can be found [here](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Geolocation_API).

</details>

<details>
<summary>Windows</summary>

To use the Geolocator plugin on Windows you need to be using Flutter 2.10 or higher. Flutter will automatically add the endorsed [geolocator_windows]() package to your application when you add the `geolocator: ^8.1.0` dependency to your `pubspec.yaml`.

</details>

### Example

The code below shows an example on how to acquire the current position of the device, including checking if the location services are enabled and checking / requesting permission to access the position of the device:

```dart
import 'package:geolocator/geolocator.dart';

/// Determine the current position of the device.
///
/// When the location services are not enabled or permissions
/// are denied the `Future` will return an error.
Future<Position> _determinePosition() async {
  bool serviceEnabled;
  LocationPermission permission;

  // Test if location services are enabled.
  serviceEnabled = await Geolocator.isLocationServiceEnabled();
  if (!serviceEnabled) {
    // Location services are not enabled don't continue
    // accessing the position and request users of the 
    // App to enable the location services.
    return Future.error('Location services are disabled.');
  }

  permission = await Geolocator.checkPermission();
  if (permission == LocationPermission.denied) {
    permission = await Geolocator.requestPermission();
    if (permission == LocationPermission.denied) {
      // Permissions are denied, next time you could try
      // requesting permissions again (this is also where
      // Android's shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale 
      // returned true. According to Android guidelines
      // your App should show an explanatory UI now.
      return Future.error('Location permissions are denied');
    }
  }
  
  if (permission == LocationPermission.deniedForever) {
    // Permissions are denied forever, handle appropriately. 
    return Future.error(
      'Location permissions are permanently denied, we cannot request permissions.');
  } 

  // When we reach here, permissions are granted and we can
  // continue accessing the position of the device.
  return await Geolocator.getCurrentPosition();
}
```

## API

### Geolocation

#### Current location

To query the current location of the device simply make a call to the `getCurrentPosition` method. You can finetune the results by specifying the following parameters:

- `desiredAccuracy`: the accuracy of the location data that your app wants to receive;
- `timeLimit`: the maximum amount of time allowed to acquire the current location. When the time limit is passed a `TimeoutException` will be thrown and the call will be cancelled. By default no limit is configured.

``` dart
import 'package:geolocator/geolocator.dart';

final LocationSettings locationSettings = LocationSettings(
  accuracy: LocationAccuracy.high,
  distanceFilter: 100,
);

Position position = await Geolocator.getCurrentPosition(locationSettings: locationSettings);
```

#### Last known location

To query the last known location retrieved stored on the device you can use the `getLastKnownPosition` method (note that this can result in a `null` value when no location details are available):

``` dart
import 'package:geolocator/geolocator.dart';

Position? position = await Geolocator.getLastKnownPosition();
```

#### Listen to location updates

To listen for location changes you can call the `getPositionStream` to receive stream you can listen to and receive position updates. You can finetune the results by specifying the following parameters:

- `accuracy`: the accuracy of the location data that your app wants to receive;
- `distanceFilter`: the minimum distance (measured in meters) a device must move horizontally before an update event is generated;
- `timeLimit`: the maximum amount of time allowed between location updates. When the time limit is passed a `TimeoutException` will be thrown and the stream will be cancelled. By default no limit is configured.

``` dart
import 'package:geolocator/geolocator.dart';

final LocationSettings locationSettings = LocationSettings(
  accuracy: LocationAccuracy.high,
  distanceFilter: 100,
);
StreamSubscription<Position> positionStream = Geolocator.getPositionStream(locationSettings: locationSettings).listen(
    (Position? position) {
        print(position == null ? 'Unknown' : '${position.latitude.toString()}, ${position.longitude.toString()}');
    });
```

### Platform specific location settings

In certain situation it is necessary to specify some platform specific settings. This can be accomplished using the platform specific `AndroidSettings`, `AppleSettings` and `WebSettings` classes. When using a platform specific class, the platform specific package must be imported as well. For example:

```dart
import 'package:geolocator/geolocator.dart';
import 'package:geolocator_android/geolocator_android.dart';
import 'package:geolocator_android/geolocator_web.dart';
import 'package:geolocator_apple/geolocator_apple.dart';

late LocationSettings locationSettings;

if (defaultTargetPlatform == TargetPlatform.android) {
  locationSettings = AndroidSettings(
      accuracy: LocationAccuracy.high,
      distanceFilter: 100,
      forceLocationManager: true,
      intervalDuration: const Duration(seconds: 10),
      //(Optional) Set foreground notification config to keep the app alive 
      //when going to the background
      foregroundNotificationConfig: const ForegroundNotificationConfig(
        notificationText:
        "Example app will continue to receive your location even when you aren't using it",
        notificationTitle: "Running in Background",
        enableWakeLock: true,
      )
  );
} else if (defaultTargetPlatform == TargetPlatform.iOS || defaultTargetPlatform == TargetPlatform.macOS) {
  locationSettings = AppleSettings(
    accuracy: LocationAccuracy.high,
    activityType: ActivityType.fitness,
    distanceFilter: 100,
    pauseLocationUpdatesAutomatically: true,
    // Only set to true if our app will be started up in the background.
    showBackgroundLocationIndicator: false,
  );
} else if (kIsWeb) {
  locationSettings = WebSettings(
    accuracy: LocationAccuracy.high,
    distanceFilter: 100,
    maximumAge: Duration(minutes: 5),
  );
} else {
  locationSettings = LocationSettings(
    accuracy: LocationAccuracy.high,
    distanceFilter: 100,
  );
}

// supply location settings to getCurrentPosition
Position position = await Geolocator.getCurrentPosition(locationSettings: locationSettings);

// supply location settings to getPositionStream
StreamSubscription<Position> positionStream = Geolocator.getPositionStream(locationSettings: locationSettings).listen(
        (Position? position) {
      print(position == null ? 'Unknown' : '${position.latitude.toString()}, ${position.longitude.toString()}');
    });
```

#### Location accuracy (Android and iOS 14+ only)

To query if a user enabled Approximate location fetching or Precise location fetching, you can call the `Geolocator.getLocationAccuracy()` method. This will return a `Future<LocationAccuracyStatus>`, which when completed contains a `LocationAccuracyStatus.reduced` if the user has enabled Approximate location fetching or `LocationAccuracyStatus.precise` if the user has enabled Precise location fetching.
On Android, `LocationAccuracyStatus.reduced` means the app was only granted the `ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION` permission. Calling `getLocationAccuracy` before any location permission has been granted throws a `PlatformException` with the code `PERMISSION_DENIED`.
On iOS 14 and higher, calling `getLocationAccuracy` before the user has given permission returns `LocationAccuracyStatus.reduced` by default.
On iOS 13 or below, the method `getLocationAccuracy` will always return `LocationAccuracyStatus.precise`, since that is the default value for iOS 13 and below.

``` dart
import 'package:geolocator/geolocator.dart';

var accuracy = await Geolocator.getLocationAccuracy();
```

#### Location service information

To check if location services are enabled you can call the `isLocationServiceEnabled` method:

``` dart
import 'package:geolocator/geolocator.dart';

bool isLocationServiceEnabled  = await Geolocator.isLocationServiceEnabled();
```

To listen for service status changes you can call the `getServiceStatusStream`. This will return a `Stream<ServiceStatus>` which can be listened to, to receive location service status updates.

``` dart
import 'package:geolocator/geolocator.dart';

StreamSubscription<ServiceStatus> serviceStatusStream = Geolocator.getServiceStatusStream().listen(
    (ServiceStatus status) {
        print(status);
    });
```

### Permissions

When using the web platform, the `checkPermission` method will return the `LocationPermission.denied` status, when the browser doesn't support the JavaScript Permissions API. Nevertheless, the `getCurrentPosition` and `getPositionStream` methods can still be used on the web platform.

If you want to check if the user already granted permissions to acquire the device's location you can make a call to the `checkPermission` method:

``` dart
import 'package:geolocator/geolocator.dart';

LocationPermission permission = await Geolocator.checkPermission();
```

If you want to request permission to access the device's location you can call the `requestPermission` method:

``` dart
import 'package:geolocator/geolocator.dart';

LocationPermission permission = await Geolocator.requestPermission();
```

Possible results from the `checkPermission` and `requestPermission` methods are:

Permission | Description
-----------|------------
denied | Permission to access the device's location is denied by the user. You are free to request permission again (this is also the initial permission state).
deniedForever | Permission to access the device's location is permanently denied. When requesting permissions the permission dialog will not be shown until the user updates the permission in the App settings.
whileInUse | Permission to access the device's location is allowed only while the App is in use.
always | Permission to access the device's location is allowed even when the App is running in the background.

> Note: Android can only return `whileInUse`, `always` or `denied` when checking permissions. Due to limitations on the Android OS it is not possible to determine if permissions are denied permanently when checking permissions. Using a workaround the geolocator is only able to do so as a result of the `requestPermission` method. More information can be found in our [wiki](https://github.com/Baseflow/flutter-geolocator/wiki/Breaking-changes-in-7.0.0#android-permission-update).

### Settings

In some cases it is necessary to ask the user and update their device settings. For example when the user initially permanently denied permissions to access the device's location or if the location services are not enabled (and, on Android, automatic resolution didn't work). In these cases you can use the `openAppSettings` or `openLocationSettings` methods to immediately redirect the user to the device's settings page. 

On Android the `openAppSettings` method will redirect the user to the App specific settings where the user can update necessary permissions. The `openLocationSettings` method will redirect the user to the location settings where the user can enable/ disable the location services.

On iOS we are not allowed to open specific setting pages so both methods will redirect the user to the Settings App from where the user can navigate to the correct settings category to update permissions or enable/ disable the location services.

``` dart
import 'package:geolocator/geolocator.dart';

await Geolocator.openAppSettings();
await Geolocator.openLocationSettings();
```

### Utility methods

To calculate the distance (in meters) between two geocoordinates you can use the `distanceBetween` method. The `distanceBetween` method takes four parameters:

Parameter | Type | Description
----------|------|------------
startLatitude | double | Latitude of the start position
startLongitude | double | Longitude of the start position
endLatitude | double | Latitude of the destination position
endLongitude | double | Longitude of the destination position

``` dart
import 'package:geolocator/geolocator.dart';

double distanceInMeters = Geolocator.distanceBetween(52.2165157, 6.9437819, 52.3546274, 4.8285838);
```

If you want to calculate the bearing between two geocoordinates you can use the `bearingBetween` method. The `bearingBetween` method also takes four parameters:

Parameter | Type | Description
----------|------|------------
startLatitude | double | Latitude of the start position
startLongitude | double | Longitude of the start position
endLatitude | double | Latitude of the destination position
endLongitude | double | Longitude of the destination position

``` dart
import 'package:geolocator/geolocator.dart';

double bearing = Geolocator.bearingBetween(52.2165157, 6.9437819, 52.3546274, 4.8285838);
```

### Location accuracy

#### Android
On Android, the `LocationAccuracy` enum controls the accuracy of the location data the app wants to receive. It also provides control over the [priority given to the location stream](https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/location/Priority). This can be confusing, as a priority of **lowest** might not return any location, while one might expect it to give the quickest responses. The table below outlines the priority and its meaning per accuracy option:

| Location accuracy | Android priority | Description |
|-------------------|------------------|-------------|
| **lowest**        | [PRIORITY_PASSIVE](https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/location/Priority#public-static-final-int-priority_passive) | Ensures that no extra power will be used to derive locations. This enforces that the request will act as a passive listener that will only receive "free" locations calculated on behalf of other clients, and no locations will be calculated on behalf of only this request. |
| **low**           | [PRIORITY_LOW_POWER](https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/location/Priority#public-static-final-int-priority_low_power) | Requests a tradeoff that favors low power usage at the possible expense of location accuracy. |
| **medium**        | [PRIORITY_BALANCED_POWER_ACCURACY](https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/location/Priority#public-static-final-int-priority_balanced_power_accuracy) | Requests a tradeoff that is balanced between location accuracy and power usage. |
| **high**+         | [PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY](https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/location/Priority#public-static-final-int-priority_high_accuracy) | Requests a tradeoff that favors highly accurate locations at the possible expense of additional power usage. |

#### iOS
On iOS, the `LocationAccuracy` enum controls the accuracy of the location data the app wants to receive. It also provides control on the battery consumption of the device: the more detailed data is requested, the larger the impact on the battery consumption. More details can be found on [Apple's documentation](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corelocation/cllocationmanager/1423836-desiredaccuracy?language=objc). The table below shows how the `LocationAccuracy` values map to the native iOS accuracy settings.

| Location accuracy | iOS accuracy | Description |
|---|---|---|
| **lowest** | [kCLLocationAccuracyThreeKilometers](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corelocation/kcllocationaccuracythreekilometers?language=objc) | Accurate to the nearest three kilometers. |
| **low** | [kCLLocationAccuracyKilometer](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corelocation/kcllocationaccuracykilometer?language=objc) | Accurate to the nearest kilometer. |
| **medium** | [kCLLocationAccuracyHundredMeters](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corelocation/kcllocationaccuracyhundredmeters?language=objc) | Accurate to within one hundred meters. |
| **high** | [kCLLocationAccuracyNearestTenMeters](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corelocation/kcllocationaccuracynearesttenmeters?language=objc) | Accurate to within ten meters of the desired target. |
| **best** | [kCLLocationAccuracyBest](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corelocation/kcllocationaccuracybest?language=objc) | The best level of accuracy available. |
| **bestForNavigation** | [kCLLocationAccuracyBestForNavigation](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corelocation/kcllocationaccuracybestfornavigation?language=objc) | The highest possible accuracy that uses additional sensor data to facilitate navigation apps. |

- Added support to supply a locale identifier when requesting a placemark using a [Position](https://pub.dev/documentation/geolocator/latest/geolocator/Position-class.html) instance;
- \*_breaking_- Stop hiding parsing exceptions when converting coordinates into an address. Instead of returning `null` the `placemarkFromCoordinates` method will now throw and `ArgumentError` if illegal values are returned (which should never happen).

## 5.2.1

- Fixes a bug where `Placemark` instances where not correctly converted to json (thanks to @efraimrodrigues);
- Corrected a spelling mistake in the `CONTRIBUTING.md` file.

## 5.2.0

- iOS: keep trying to get the location when a `kCLErrorLocationUnknown` error is received (as per Apple's [documentation](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corelocation/cllocationmanagerdelegate/1423786-locationmanager));
- Android: synchronize gradle versions with current stable version of Flutter (1.12.13+hotfix.5).

- Extended the example application;
- Use the correct permission level enumeration;

# Added documentation regarding AndroidX support.

## 5.0.1

## 4.0.2

- Bug fix on Android which causing the `Reply already submitted` error;
- Updated `location_permission` plugin to version `2.0.0`.

## 4.0.1

- Updated to latest version of the Location Permissions plugin (1.1.0).

## 4.0.0

- Overhauled the permissions system to make sure the plugin only depends on the location API. This means when using this version of the plugin Apple requires only entries for the `NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription` and/ or `NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription` in the `Info.plist`.
- \*_breaking_- As part of the permission system overhaul, we removed the `disabled` permission status. To check if the location services are running you should call the `isLocationServiceEnabled` method. This means you can now also request permissions when the location services are disabled.

## 3.0.1

- Updated dependencies on Permission Handler and Google API Availability to remove Kotlin dependency.

## 3.0.0

- \*_breaking_- Updated to support AndroidX;
- Added API method `isLocationServiceEnabled` to check if location services are enabled or disabled

- Updated Gradle version

## 2.0.1

- Bug fix where a null reference exception occurs because the timestamp of the `Position` could be `null` when fetching a `Placemark` using the `placemarkFromAddress` or `placemarkFromCoordinates` methods.

## 2.0.0

- \*_breaking_- The `getPositionStream` method now directly returns an instance of the `Stream<Position>` class, meaning there is no need to `await` the method before being able to access the stream;
- \*_breaking_- Arguments for the methods `getCurrentPosition` and `getLastKnownPosition` are now named optional parameters instead of positional optional parameters;
- By default Geolocator will use FusedLocationProviderClient on Android when Google Play Services are available. It will fall back to LocationManager when it is not available. You can override the behaviour by setting `Geolocator geolocator = Geolocator()..forceAndroidLocationManager = true;`
- Allow developers to specify a desired interval for active location updates, in milliseconds (Android only).

## 1.7.0

- Added timestamp to instances of the `Position` class indicating when the GPS fix was acquired;
- Updated the dependency on the `PermissionHandler` to version >=2.0.0 <3.0.0.

## 1.6.5

- Fixed bug on Android when not supplying a locale while using the Geocoding features.

## 1.6.4

- Added support to supply a locale when using the `placemarkFromAddress` and `placemarkFromCoordinates` methods.
- Deprecated the static method `checkGeolocationStatus` in favor of the instance method `checkGeolocationPermissionStatus` (the static version will be removed in version 2.0 of the Geolocator plugin).

## 1.6.3

- Added feature to check the availability of Google Play services on the device (using the `checkGooglePlayServicesAvailability` method). This will allow developers to implement a more user friendly experience regarding the usage of Google Play services (for more information see the article [Set Up Google Play Services](https://developers.google.com/android/guides/setup));
- Fixed the error `'List<dynamic>' is not a subtype of type 'Future<dynamic>'` on Flutter 0.6.2 and higher (thanks @fawadkhanucp for reporting the issue and solution);
- Fixed an error when calling the `getCurrentPosition`, `getPositionStream`, `placemarkFromAddress` and `placemarkFromCoordinates` from an Android background service (thanks @sestegra for reporting the issue and creating a pull-request).

## 1.6.2

- Hot fix to solve cast exception

## 1.6.1

- Fixed a bug which caused stationary location updates not to be streamed when using the new `FusedLocationProviderClient` on Android (thanks @audkar for the PR).

## 1.6.0

- Use the Location Services (through the `FusedLocationProviderClient`) on Android if available, otherwise fallback to the `LocationManager` class;
- Make sure that on Android the last know location is returned immediately on the stream when requesting location updates through the `getPositionStream` method;
- Updated documentation on adding location permissions on Android.

## 1.5.0

- It is now possible to check the location permissions using the `checkGeolocationStatus` method [[ISSUE #51](https://github.com/BaseflowIT/flutter-geolocator/issues/51)].
- Improved the example App [[ISSUE #54](https://github.com/BaseflowIT/flutter-geolocator/issues/54)]
- Solved a bug on Android causing a memory leak when you stop listening to the position stream.
- \*_breaking_- Solved a bug on Android where permissions could be requested more then once simultaneously [[ISSUE #58](https://github.com/BaseflowIT/flutter-geolocator/issues/58)]
- Solved a bug on Android where requesting permissions twice would cause the App to crash [[ISSUE #61](https://github.com/BaseflowIT/flutter-geolocator/issues/61)]

> **Important:**
>
> To be able to correctly fix [issue #58](https://github.com/BaseflowIT/flutter-geolocator/issues/58) we had to change the `getPositionStream` method into a `async` method. This means the signature of the method has been changed from:
>
> `Stream<Position> getPositionStream([LocationOptions locationOptions = const LocationOptions()])`
>
> to
>
> `Future<Stream<Position>> getPositionStream([LocationOptions locationOptions = const LocationOptions()])`.
>
> Meaning as a developer you'll now have to `await` the result of the method to get access to the actual stream.

## 1.4.0

- Added feature to query the last known location that is stored on the device using the `getLastKnownLocation` method;
- \*_breaking_- Renamed the `getPosition` to `getCurrentPosition`;
- Fixed bug where calling `getCurrentPosition` on Android resulted in returning the last known location;
- \*_breaking_- Renamed methods `toPlacemark` and `fromPlacemark` respectively to the, more meaningful names, `placemarkFromAddress` and `placemarkFromCoordinates`;

## 1.3.1

- Added support for iOS `kCLLocationAccurayBestForNavigation` (defaults to `best` when on Android).

## 1.3.0

- Added the option to check the distance between two geocoordinates (using the `distanceBetween` method).

## 1.2.2

- Make sure that an Android App using the plugin is informed when the platform stops transmitting location updates.

## 1.2.1

- Added feature to throttle the amount of locations updates based on a supplied distance filter.

> **Important:**
>
> This introduces a breaking change since the signature of the `getPositionStream` has changed from `getPositionStream(LocationAccuracy accuracy)` to
> `getPositionStream(LocationOptions locationOptions)` .

- Made some small changes to ensure the plugin no longer is depending on JAVA 8, meaning the plugin will run using the default Android configuration.

## 1.2.0

- Added support to translate an address into geocoordinates and vice versa (a.k.a. Geocoding). See the [README.md](README.md) file for more information.

## 1.1.2

- Fixed reported formatting issues

## 1.1.1

- Fixed a warning generated by xCode when compiling the example project (see [issue #28](https://github.com/BaseflowIT/flutter-geolocator/issues/28))
- Fixed some warnings generated by Dart static code analyser, improving code quality

## 1.1.0

- Introduced the option to supply a desired accuracy.

> \*_Important:_-
>
> This introduces a breaking change, the `getPosition` and `onPositionChanged` properties have been replaced by methods (`getPosition([LocationAccuracy desiredAccuracy = LocationAccuracy.Best])` and `getPositionStream([LocationAccuracy desiredAccuracy = LocationAccuracy.Best])` respectively) accepting a parameter to indicate the desired accuracy.

- Updated the Android part to make use of the [LocationManager](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/LocationManager) instead of the [FusedLocationProviderClient](https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/location/FusedLocationProviderClient)
- Improved support for handling position requests that happen in rapid succession.

## 1.0.0

- Updated documentation
- API defined stable

## 0.0.2
