Is 'constructor LocationRequest()' deprecated in google maps v2?

Question

I stumbled upon this message recently, and I was pretty sure that this constructor wasn't deprecated in prior versions to 18.0.0, but I cannot find information anywhere that this one has been deprecated either.

And what should we use instead, is there another way to create a locationRequest ?

Answer 1

Yes, the LocationRequest constructor is deprecated. You can use its static method LocationRequest.create() to create a location request.

Kotlin:

locationRequest = LocationRequest.create().apply {     interval = 100     fastestInterval = 50     priority = LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY     maxWaitTime= 100 } 

Java:

locationRequest = LocationRequest.create()     .setInterval(100)     .setFastestInterval(3000)      .setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY)     .setMaxWaitTime(100); 

Answer 2

For anyone who faces this error in geolocator 8.0.1 of Flutter. Try to edit FusedLocationClient.java:199 for now. Then wait for author to update the pub package

From

LocationRequest locationRequest = new LocationRequest(); 

To

LocationRequest locationRequest = LocationRequest.create(); 

This is the LocationRequest class
