How to use LocationRequest? Because direct constructor is not working nor .create()

Question

I am trying to get current location in a map fragment but unable to do so because LocationRequest.create() is not wokring. Neither works:

LocationRequest l = new LocationRequest();

OR

LocationReuest l = LocationRequest.create();

My MapsFragment.java:

import android.location.Location;
import android.location.LocationListener;
import android.location.LocationRequest;

public class MapsFragment extends SupportMapFragment {
    LocationRequest mLocationRequest;
    mLocationRequest = LocationRequest.create();
}

My build.gradle (app level):

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:19.0.1'
    implementation 'com.github.niqo01.rxplayservices:rx-play-services-location:0.4.0'
}

I have cleaned and rebuilded the app but it doesn't works. Please give a solution for this or just a code to make sure I get current location on a google map in a fragment

Answer 1

You are using the wrong class.

instead of using the class LocationRequest that is part of android.location package write the following in your imports section:

import com.google.android.gms.location.LocationRequest;
