Get Current Location In Flutter

Hello friends, today in this article I am going to teach you how to get user’s current location in flutter. Its video tutorial is also on my YouTube channel, you can go by clicking here. For this I am going to use a flutter plugin.

So you have to install these two plugins in pubspec.yaml file.

 geolocator: ^6.2.0
 geocoding: ^1.0.5

Now you have to go android->app->src->main->AndroidManifest.xml

Open the AndroidManifest.xml file add the following line:

<manifest xmlns:android="...">
  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/> 

  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" /> 
  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
</manifast>

First of all we have to know the latitude and longitude for the location.

 Geolocator.getCurrentPosition(desiredAccuracy: LocationAccuracy.best,     forceAndroidLocationManager: true)
        .then((Position position) {
      setState(() {
        _currentPosition = position;
        _getAddressFromLatLng();
      });
      print(_currentPosition);

    }).catchError((e) {
      print(e);
    });

Once we have got the latitude and longitude, now we can easily get its address.

  try {
      List<Placemark> placemarks = await placemarkFromCoordinates(
          _currentPosition.latitude,
          _currentPosition.longitude
      );

      Placemark place = placemarks[0];

      setState(() {
        _currentAddress = " ${place.street},  ${place.locality}    ,${place.subAdministrativeArea},${place.administrativeArea}, ${place.postalCode}, ${place.country}";
        print(_currentAddress);
        
      });
 } catch (e) {
      print(e);
}

  void latandlon(){
    Geolocator.getCurrentPosition(desiredAccuracy: LocationAccuracy.best,     forceAndroidLocationManager: true)
        .then((Position position) {
