[rakeshh025]

🐛 Bug Report

Location is not being fetched in OnePlus 6, 7 and 8 devices. Also the location permission popup shows up twice.

Configuration

geolocator: ^5.3.1

Code

final Geolocator geolocator = Geolocator()..forceAndroidLocationManager;
  @override
  void initState() {
    _getCurrentLocation();
    super.initState();
  }

  _getCurrentLocation() async {
    final PermissionStatus permission = await _getLocationPermission();

    if (permission == PermissionStatus.granted) {
      geolocator
          .getCurrentPosition(desiredAccuracy: LocationAccuracy.best)
          .then((Position position) {
        setState(() {
          _currentPosition = position;
        });
        currentPosition =
            LatLng(_currentPosition.latitude, _currentPosition.longitude);
        _getAddressFromLatLng();
      }).catchError((e) {
        print(e);
      });
    }
  }

_getAddressFromLatLng() async {
    try {
      List<Placemark> p = await geolocator.placemarkFromCoordinates(
          _currentPosition.latitude, _currentPosition.longitude);
      Placemark place = p[0];
      setState(() {
        currentAddress = "${place.subLocality}";
      });
      locationAddress = currentAddress;
    } catch (e) {
      print(e);
    }
  }

  Future<PermissionStatus> _getLocationPermission() async {
    final PermissionStatus permission = await LocationPermissions()
        .checkPermissionStatus(level: LocationPermissionLevel.location);
    if (permission != PermissionStatus.granted) {
      final PermissionStatus permission = await LocationPermissions()
          .requestPermissions(
              permissionLevel: LocationPermissionLevel.location);
      locationPermission = permission;
      return permission;
    } else {
      locationPermission = permission;
      return permission;
    }
  }

Same on Huawei P30

It was same here in Xiaomi Mi 8 SE.

But, the code below works for me

  Future<void> getLocation() async {
    try {
      Geolocator geolocator = Geolocator()..forceAndroidLocationManager = true;
      Position position = await geolocator.getCurrentPosition(
        desiredAccuracy: LocationAccuracy.low,
      );

      print(position);
    } catch (error) {
      print(error.message);
    }
  }

小米Mi 8 SE中的情况与此相同。

但是，下面的代码对我有用

  Future<void> getLocation() async {
    try {
      Geolocator geolocator = Geolocator()..forceAndroidLocationManager = true;
      Position position = await geolocator.getCurrentPosition(
        desiredAccuracy: LocationAccuracy.low,
      );

      print(position);
    } catch (error) {
      print(error.message);
    }
  }

xiaomi 10 effective

Awesome let me check that out

[yy1300326388]

geolocator.getCurrentPosition(desiredAccuracy: LocationAccuracy.medium);
/// I set it to medium
LocationAccuracy.medium

Seems al these devices don't have Google Play Services installed. So using .forceAndroidLocationManager = true should fix this issue.

You could also try the latest release 6.0.0-rc.3 which has beter support for detecting if Google Play Services are installed internally.
