vhoen / android-geofence-21 Goto Github PK

Hey there, I was tried this tutorial it works very well, but I need to draw geofence with irregular shape like polygon since the Google maps API suggested to use Geofence.Builder() class to build the geofence with its regular circular shape but have no implentational methods to draw polygon of irregular shape. also I tried to built it by Polygon options but unable to find area of interior of polygon so please will anyone help me to find the interior area of that shape so to allow notification whenever user enters in that polygonal area and notifying when exiting that area, thank you.

why not are you using simply LocationServices.getGeofencingClient() like official google samples to get current user location?

mGeofencingClient = LocationServices.getGeofencingClient(this);
mGeofencingClient.addGeofences(getGeofencingRequest(), getGeofencePendingIntent())
                        .addOnCompleteListener(this);
                ...

Any special reason?

Best Regards.

Hi.. First of all thank you very much for such a great article and source shared.
I am trying to implement the code and run it. I got an error (red underline) in the manifest.xml that tell me:-
".Geofencereceiver cannot be assigned to Broadcastreceiver" in the < tag.

[The program runs nevertheless]

Can you please consider telling me what is the error means?

Thanks again for your effort, kindness and time.
