How to get Location user with CLLocationManager in swift?
I have this code on my view controller but this not working:
import UIKit
import CoreLocation
class ViewController: UIViewController, CLLocationManagerDelegate {
var location: CLLocationManager!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
location=CLLocationManager()
location.delegate = self
location.desiredAccuracy=kCLLocationAccuracyBest
location.startUpdatingLocation()
}
func locationManager(location:CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations:AnyObject[]) {
println("locations = \(locations)")
label1.text = "success"
}
I have the permissions how I read in other post. but I don't obtain never, no println..
Thanks!!
first add this two line in plist file
1) NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription
2) NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription
Then this is class working complete implement this
import UIKit
import CoreLocation
@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate, CLLocationManagerDelegate {
var window: UIWindow?
var locationManager: CLLocationManager!
var seenError : Bool = false
var locationFixAchieved : Bool = false
var locationStatus : NSString = "Not Started"
func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: NSDictionary?) -> Bool {
initLocationManager();
return true
}
// Location Manager helper stuff
func initLocationManager() {
seenError = false
locationFixAchieved = false
locationManager = CLLocationManager()
locationManager.delegate = self
locationManager.locationServicesEnabled
locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest
locationManager.requestAlwaysAuthorization()
}
// Location Manager Delegate stuff
func locationManager(manager: CLLocationManager!, didFailWithError error: NSError!) {
locationManager.stopUpdatingLocation()
if (error) {
if (seenError == false) {
seenError = true
print(error)
}
}
}
func locationManager(manager: CLLocationManager!, didUpdateLocations locations: AnyObject[]!) {
if (locationFixAchieved == false) {
locationFixAchieved = true
var locationArray = locations as NSArray
var locationObj = locationArray.lastObject as CLLocation
var coord = locationObj.coordinate
println(coord.latitude)
println(coord.longitude)
}
}
func locationManager(manager: CLLocationManager!,
didChangeAuthorizationStatus status: CLAuthorizationStatus) {
var shouldIAllow = false
switch status {
case CLAuthorizationStatus.Restricted:
locationStatus = "Restricted Access to location"
case CLAuthorizationStatus.Denied:
locationStatus = "User denied access to location"
case CLAuthorizationStatus.NotDetermined:
locationStatus = "Status not determined"
default:
locationStatus = "Allowed to location Access"
shouldIAllow = true
}
NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().postNotificationName("LabelHasbeenUpdated", object: nil)
if (shouldIAllow == true) {
NSLog("Location to Allowed")
// Start location services
locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
} else {
NSLog("Denied access: \(locationStatus)")
}
}
}
Following are the simple steps for getting user location in Swift 3
1) First add this line in plist file with description
NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription
2) Add CoreLocation.framework in your project(Under section Build Phases-> Link Binary With Library)
3) In AppDelegate class
import CoreLocation
4) Create locationManager Object as follows
var locationManager:CLLocationManager!
5) Write following code in didFinishLaunchingWithOptions
locationManager = CLLocationManager()
locationManager.delegate = self
locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest
locationManager.distanceFilter = 200
locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
6) Confirm CLLocationManagerDelegate delegate like as follows
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate, CLLocationManagerDelegate
7) Write CLLocationManagerDelegate delegate method for getting user location
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didFailWithError error: Error) {
print("location error is = \(error.localizedDescription)")
}
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager,
didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {
let locValue:CLLocationCoordinate2D = (manager.location?.coordinate)!
print("Current Locations = \(locValue.latitude) \(locValue.longitude)")
}
Since you're declaring location as an explicitly unwrapped optional (CLLocationManager!) it requires an initializer, either in an init method as suggested by jhurray, or just inline, as:
var location: CLLocationManager! = nil
Note that you've got other possible problems as well, including that iOS 8 has new requirements for querying the user for permission to use CoreLocation. See this question for more information.
