Android Question The best way to get the location of users quickly

[BerlinCoder]

Hi, I know there are a lot of topics about my question. I am using google map extra 2. Also, I use location-manager in my project. But, the speed is not really good, sometimes it does not show where is user and .....
so can you please give me a snippet code to get the location of a device quickly ?

Best,

Hi do you want to show where the device itself is? Or a second device?

 

[BerlinCoder]

yes I made a location base app like uber. I need to display the current location of the users on the map quickly

Look at GPS library/Tutorial.
Also have a look at FusedLocationProvider

Hmm sounds like either a slow device, a built up area(full of buildings), slow internet the device is indoors.

I personally use WebView with the GPS and WebViewExtra libraries with an app that I developed for a small courier company that relies on GPS location tracking for signatures. Try the libraries that I mentioned previously and look for source code on the forum, there's plenty to work from.

The app works all the time every time and it picks up the location and updated the WebView extremely quickly. When the save button is taped, the data is stored on both the device and also in the cloud.

Enjoy...

That is just the normal GPS library there's nothing special about that. If you are having problems, you should double check what I posted earlier.
