I've built an application where you can press a start button. Once the button is pressed the application will get user location every 10 second all the way till the stop button is pressed. When I leave the application or if the screen gets black, it will NOT get any more locations till I re-enter the application.
So, I'm currently trying to update the locations when the application is minimized. (I guess it's called in the background?), and also when the screen turns black. But my questions is:
Should I write this code in the AppDelegate?, if so. How can I know
if the button was pressed or not?
Where exactly in the AppDelegate should I add the code? And how can
I pass the locations back to the correct ViewController? (Since I
cannot make any prepare for segue from AppDelegate)
If you know the answers of this questions, please do not hesitate to answer them. :) I would really appreciate it!
The best way to get user's location in background is to use the Significant-Change Location Service according to apple's documentation put this func in your class:
func startReceivingSignificantLocationChanges() {
let authorizationStatus = CLLocationManager.authorizationStatus()
if authorizationStatus != .authorizedAlways {
// User has not authorized access to location information.
return
}
if !CLLocationManager.significantLocationChangeMonitoringAvailable() {
// The service is not available.
return
}
locationManager.delegate = self
locationManager.startMonitoringSignificantLocationChanges()
}
and also this func:
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations
locations: [CLLocation]) {
let lastLocation = locations.last!
// Do something with the location.
}
so you just need to call startReceivingSignificantLocationChanges() inside your button and it will call locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager,didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]), so do what you want with the location there.
Remember to ask permission to use location and to stop tracking with locationManager.stopMonitoringSignificantLocationChanges()
Take location permission for Always Allow
Set location manager for allowsBackgroundLocationUpdates true
from the above way you can get location in every location changes store this information and it send to server. Below is the sample code
typealias LocateMeCallback = (_ location: CLLocation?) -> Void
/*

I am asking for requestWhenInUseAuthorization from CLLocationManager and the user prompt displays but then quickly disappears.
According to other posts on SO it says that you have to declare your CLLocationManager var at the class level to fix this.
Problem is that I am already doing this and this still happens.
Any help would be appreciated.
class myLocation: CLLocationManagerDelegate {
var locationManager:CLLocationManager?
// Have also tried it as: let locationManager = CLLocationManager()
func start() {
if CLLocationManager.locationServicesEnabled() {
self.locationManager = CLLocationManager()
guard let manager = self.locationManager else {
print("Error creating Location Manager")
return
}
manager.delegate = self
manager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyNearestTenMeters
manager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
}
else {
print("Location Services Disabled")
}
}
//Delegate Methods
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didChangeAuthorization status: CLAuthorizationStatus) {
switch status {
case .authorizedAlways, .authorizedWhenInUse:
manager.startUpdatingLocation()
default:
manager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
}
}
...
}
The key to fixing this was that the var I instantiated this class too was a local var. I moved that to a class var and it no longer disappears.
So for example:
class ViewController: UIViewController {
let location = myLocation.init()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
location.start()
}
}
I am using CLLocationManager for getting user location. I need to update user location when they move. I am using this code :
import UIKit
import CoreLocation
class ViewController: UIViewController, CLLocationManagerDelegate {
private var locationManager = CLLocationManager()
lazy var locations = [CLLocation]()
var op:String = ""
#IBOutlet weak var resultTxt: UITextView!
#IBAction func Start(sender: AnyObject) {
startLocationManager()
showResult()
}
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
}
func startLocationManager(){
locationManager.delegate = self
locationManager.allowsBackgroundLocationUpdates = true
locationManager.distanceFilter = kCLDistanceFilterNone
locationManager.pausesLocationUpdatesAutomatically = false
locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest
locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
locationManager.requestAlwaysAuthorization()
locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
}
func startLocationTracking() {
NSLog("startLocationTracking")
if CLLocationManager.locationServicesEnabled() {
switch(CLLocationManager.authorizationStatus()) {
case .NotDetermined, .Restricted, .Denied:
print("No access")
self.startLocationManager()
case .AuthorizedAlways, .AuthorizedWhenInUse:
NSLog("authorizationStatus authorized")
}
} else {
print("Location services are not enabled")
self.startLocationManager()
}
}
func locationManager(manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {
for location in locations {
let howRecent = location.timestamp.timeIntervalSinceNow
if abs(howRecent) < 10 && location.horizontalAccuracy < 20 {
//update distance
self.locations.append(location)
showResult()
}
}
}
func showResult(){
let currentDate = NSDate()
let res:String = "Result LAT : \(self.locations.last?.coordinate.latitude) AND LNG : \(self.locations.last?.coordinate.longitude) Time : \(currentDate.toShortTimeString()) \n "
op += res
self.resultTxt.text = op
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
}
}
And I have already added NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription and NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription in .plist.
This code works fine for the first time. But when the user moves "didUpdateLocations" is not getting fired.
Can any one please help me, what I am doing wrong?
Try to add these lines, to be able to monitoring significant location changes when user moves:
locationManager.startMonitoringSignificantLocationChanges()
locationManager.distanceFilter = 300 //value is up to you
I am using XCode v7.2.1, Simulator v9.2 .
I have a UIViewController which shows a map & is supposed to get my location & show it on map:
import UIKit
import MapKit
class LocationVC: UIViewController, MKMapViewDelegate {
#IBOutlet weak var map: MKMapView!
let locationManager = CLLocationManager()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
map.delegate = self
}
override func viewDidAppear(animated: Bool) {
if CLLocationManager.authorizationStatus() == .AuthorizedWhenInUse {
map.showsUserLocation = true
} else {
locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
}
}
}
I have added the NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription in info.plist as shown below:
I have also selected the Debug -> Location -> Custom Location ... and set the longitude & latitude of Helsinki, Finland as shown below:
When I run my app, the map is shown, however it doesn't get my location. Why? (I mean I don't see the blue point in anywhere of the map).
===== UPDATE ====
I also tried this when my app is running, however it doesn't help either.
you are requesting the user's location, but not actually doing anything with the response. become the delegate of the location manager and respond to the authorization change.
this code works for me on 7.2.1 (after selecting "Apple" in Debug -> Location):
import UIKit
import MapKit
class ViewController: UIViewController, CLLocationManagerDelegate {
#IBOutlet weak var map: MKMapView!
let locationManager = CLLocationManager()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
locationManager.delegate = self
}
override func viewDidAppear(animated: Bool) {
super.viewDidAppear(animated)
if CLLocationManager.authorizationStatus() == .AuthorizedWhenInUse {
map.showsUserLocation = true
} else {
locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
}
}
func locationManager(manager: CLLocationManager, didChangeAuthorizationStatus status: CLAuthorizationStatus) {
guard status == .AuthorizedWhenInUse else { print("not enabled"); return }
map.showsUserLocation = true
}
}
I agree with #Casey 's answer,but sometimes you need to do a little more with CLLocationManagerDelegate method.
func locationManager(manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {
if let location = locations.first {
//reset mapView's center in case your custom location was wrong.
map.centerCoordinate = location.coordinate
//mannual call show annotations to avoid some bugs
map.showAnnotations(map.annotations, animated: true)
}
}
you just have to add
locationManager.delegate = self
mapView.showsUserLocation = true
I am trying to convert an old app in ObjC to Swift as a practice exercise and have ran in to some issues. The way I had it in the old app, it was establishing the CLLocation Manager and then I would use:
manager = [[CLLocationManager alloc]init];
manager.delegate = self;
manager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest;
[manager startUpdatingLocation]
which would call automatically:
-(void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation{
}
and from there I could extract all the information I needed. But in swift, there is no autocompletion of this method and I cannot figure out how to reproduce it. The documentation says that
startUpdatingLocation()
will still be called by the delegate, but it isn't happening.
This is what I have so far:
import UIKit
import corelocation
class ViewController: UIViewController,CLLocationManagerDelegate{
#IBOutlet var gpsResult : UILabel
var manager:CLLocationManager!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
manager = CLLocationManager()
manager.delegate = self
manager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest
manager.startUpdatingLocation()
}
func locationManager(manager:CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations:AnyObject[]) {
println("locations = \(locations)")
gpsResult.text = "success"
}
}
Any help or pointers on where to look would be appreciated. Thanks.
EDIT: Updated from Suggestions, but still not working
EDIT2: Seems to be some bug not allowing the method to work properly in the ViewController
You are missing two things. First, you have to ask for permission using requestAlwaysAuthorization or requestWhenInUseAuthorization(). So your viewDidLoad() should be like this:
var locationManager = CLLocationManager()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
locationManager.delegate = self
locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest
locationManager.requestAlwaysAuthorization()
locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
}
Second, edit your Info.plist as indicated here.
First add this two line in plist file
NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription
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
// If failed
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)
}
}
// authorization status
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)")
}
}
}
I'm not sure why, but it seems like startUpdatingLocation isn't presenting the user prompt on the iOS 7 simulator, but when I enabled it manually it worked as expected if I used the newer form of the delegate method:
var manager:CLLocationManager!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
manager = CLLocationManager()
manager.delegate = self
manager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest
manager.startUpdatingLocation()
}
func locationManager(manager:CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations:[AnyObject]) { // Updated to current array syntax [AnyObject] rather than AnyObject[]
println("locations = \(locations)")
}
The format you're using has been deprecated since iOS 5 or 6, so apparently it's not supported at all by the swift bridging layers.
had the same issue. didUpdateLocations - was not working. Run your app. Go to the Settings page -> Privacy -> Location and turn off Location Services. didFailWithError will catch the error about absent Location Services. Then turn it on. Since that moment didUpdateLocations will catch locations.
Here is my very simple code that works:
first add Core Location framework in General/Linked Frameworks and Libraries
then add following into Info.plist:
<key>NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription</key>
<string>blablabla</string>
<key>NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription</key>
<string>blablabla</string>
this is my ViewController.swift file:
import UIKit
import CoreLocation
class ViewController: UIViewController, CLLocationManagerDelegate {
var locationManager:CLLocationManager!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
locationManager = CLLocationManager()
locationManager.delegate = self
locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest
locationManager.requestAlwaysAuthorization()
locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
}
func locationManager(manager:CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {
print("locations = \(locations)")
}
}
For Swift 3
import UIKit
import CoreLocation
class ViewController: UIViewController,CLLocationManagerDelegate {
var locationManager:CLLocationManager!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
locationManager = CLLocationManager()
locationManager.delegate = self
locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest
locationManager.requestAlwaysAuthorization()
locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
func locationManager(_ manager:CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {
print("locations = \(locations)")
}
}
I hope there are two ways.
var locationManager: CLLocationManager = CLLocationManager()
var initialLocation :CLLocation?
var updatedUserLocation :CLLocation?
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad() {
//MapView Location
locationManager.delegate = self
locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyNearestTenMeters
locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
locationManager.startUpdatingHeading()
}
Implementing CLLocationManagerDelegate :
//CLLocationManager Delegate
func locationManager(manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {
// This only works when user location is updated.
gpsProviderStatusLabel.changeStatusToOn(gpsProviderStatusLabel)
}
func locationManager(manager: CLLocationManager, didFailWithError error: NSError) {
//Error indicates GPS permission restricted
gpsProviderStatusLabel.changeStatusToOff(gpsProviderStatusLabel)
//Initial Location
initialLocation = locations.first
//Getting Updated Location
updatedUserLocation = locations.last
}
Checking CLLocationDelegate Authorization:
func locationManager(manager: CLLocationManager, didChangeAuthorizationStatus status: CLAuthorizationStatus) {
//This method does real time status monitoring.
switch status {
case .NotDetermined:
print(".NotDetermined")
break
case .AuthorizedAlways:
print(".AuthorizedAlways")
gpsProviderStatusLabel.changeStatusToOn(gpsProviderStatusLabel)
break
case .Denied:
print(".Denied")
gpsProviderStatusLabel.changeStatusToOff(gpsProviderStatusLabel)
break
case .AuthorizedWhenInUse:
print(".AuthorizedWhenInUse")
gpsProviderStatusLabel.changeStatusToOn(gpsProviderStatusLabel)
break
case .Restricted:
print(".Restricted")
break
default:
print("Unhandled authorization status")
break
}
}
Note: changeStatusToOn or changeStatusToOff is a UILabel Extenion method which makes the Label text On/Off with Green/Red Colors.
don't forget to add
NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription or
NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription
in your configuration file (target/Info/custom iOS target properties
Add bellow 2 property in info.plist
NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription : Location information is used for fraud prevention
Privacy - Location Usage Description : Location information is used for fraud prevention
If you want to get the user location updated by default, without clicking 'Simulate location' everytime, go to
YourProject-->Build Phases-->Link Binary with libraries-->Add corelocation.framework
The location gets updated automatically/by default when you run the app in the simulator. Tested and works in Swift 2 !
This will ask for permission and track if given permission else quit with an alert. Stops tracking on back button press.
