Location Display

Last updated: 2026-03-04 08:45

The enhanced Map SDK for Android provides the native location capabilities. To use the high-precision location capability, perform the following steps to configure the location source for high-precision location.

Before turning on the location display switch, you need to set a location source (LocationSource) which can provide a display position for the location.

  1. Implement LocationSource.
    The sample code is as follows:
    Java
    Kotlin
    Collapse
    Word wrap
    Dark theme
    Copy code
    1. private LocationSource.OnLocationChangedListener mLocationChangedListener;
    2. LocationSource hwLocationSource = new LocationSource() {
    3.     @Override
    4.     public void activate(LocationSource.OnLocationChangedListener listener) {
    5.         mLocationChangedListener = listener;
    6.     }
    7.     @Override
    8.     public void deactivate() {
    9.         mLocationChangedListener = null;
    10.     }
    11. };
    Collapse
    Word wrap
    Dark theme
    Copy code
    1. var mLocationChangedListener: LocationSource.OnLocationChangedListener? = null
    2.     var hwLocationSource: LocationSource = object : LocationSource {
    3.     override fun activate(listener: LocationSource.OnLocationChangedListener) {
    4.         mLocationChangedListener = listener
    5.     }
    6.     override fun deactivate() {
    7.         mLocationChangedListener = null
    8.     }
    9. }
  2. Set the location source and turn on the location display switch.
    The sample code is as follows:
    Java
    Kotlin
    Collapse
    Word wrap
    Dark theme
    Copy code
    1. hwMap.setLocationSource(hwLocationSource);
    2. hwMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
    Collapse
    Word wrap
    Dark theme
    Copy code
    1. hMap.setLocationSource(hwLocationSource)
    2. hMap.isMyLocationEnabled = true
