Logging the current location

Even if continuous tracking is disabled, you can manually log the user’s current location using the setLastKnownLocation() method.

• kotlin

Braze.getInstance(context).getCurrentUser(new IValueCallback<BrazeUser>() {
  @Override
  public void onSuccess(BrazeUser brazeUser) {
    brazeUser.setLastKnownLocation(LATITUDE_DOUBLE_VALUE, LONGITUDE_DOUBLE_VALUE, ALTITUDE_DOUBLE_VALUE, ACCURACY_DOUBLE_VALUE);
  }

Braze.getInstance(context).getCurrentUser { brazeUser ->
  brazeUser.setLastKnownLocation(LATITUDE_DOUBLE_VALUE, LONGITUDE_DOUBLE_VALUE, ALTITUDE_DOUBLE_VALUE, ACCURACY_DOUBLE_VALUE)
}

Continuously tracking the location

To continuously track a user’s location, you’ll need to declare your app’s intent to collect location data by adding at least one of the following permissions to your AndroidManifest.xml file.

Your AndroidManifest.xml should be similar to the following:

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

    <application ... >
        ...
    </application>
</manifest>

Disabling continuous tracking

You can disable continuous tracking at compile time or runtime.
