Question: track geolocation only 1 time about react-native-background-geolocation HOT 6 CLOSED

Hmm... thanks. I am thinking of implementing it natively, but I am completely new to RN. If I can find a solution, I will share the implementation.

from react-native-background-geolocation.

@pewh Did you find a way to find current location?

from react-native-background-geolocation.

Unfortunately, no :/
Current solution in official RN is still buggy, and I still don't have any solution with this repo

from react-native-background-geolocation.

so just start and on location event stop service :) but in general is this good idea? bcs you need some time to get better accuracy

from react-native-background-geolocation.

Solution taken from the example app:

  toggleTracking() {
    if (this.state.isTracking) {
      this.stopTracking();
    } else {
      this.startTracking();
    }
  }
  
  startTracking() {
    if (this.state.isTracking) { return; }

    BackgroundGeolocation.start(() => {
      console.log('[DEBUG] BackgroundGeolocation started successfully');
    });
    this.setState({ isTracking: true });
  }

  stopTracking() {
    if (!this.state.isTracking) { return; }

    BackgroundGeolocation.stop();
    this.setState({ isTracking: false });
  }

  const Button = this.state.isTracking ? <Text>Stop</Text> : <Text>Start</Text>; 

  <TouchableOpacity onPress={this.toggleTracking.bind(this)}>
            {Button}            
  </TouchableOpacity>
