MOBILE APPLICATION
DEVELOPMENT
LECTURES – WEEK 10

SARA MASOOD
APP OF THE MODULE
GEO LOCATION

 Use the package GeoLocator


 geolocator | Flutter Package (pub.dev)

dependencies:
geolocator: ^8.0.0
import 'package:geolocator/geolocator.dart';
GEO LOCATION

 Current location
Position position = await Geolocator.getCurrentPosition(desiredAccuracy:
LocationAccuracy.high);

 Last known location


Position position = await Geolocator.getLastKnownPosition();
ADDING PERMISSIONS TO ANDROID MANIFEST
 Go to android > app > src > main > AndroidMenifest.xml and add following permissions (like added in below-given
picture)
 Location Permission
 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
 Internet permission
 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
PERMISSION FOR LOCATION SERVICES

 Checking the permission


 LocationPermission permission = await Geolocator.checkPermission();

 Request the permission


 LocationPermission permission = await Geolocator.requestPermission();
GEO LOCATION MUST BE ASYNC

void getLocation() async{


Position position =
await Geolocator.getCurrentPosition(
desiredAccuracy: LocationAccuracy.high);
}
ASYNCHRONOUS PROGRAMMING: FUTURES, ASYNC, AWAIT

 Asynchronous operations let your program complete work while waiting for another operation to
finish.
void example() async {
await …
}
 Future
 A future (lower case “f”) is an instance of the Future (capitalized “F”) class.
 A future represents the result of an asynchronous operation, and can have two states: uncompleted or
completed.
ASYNCHRONOUS PROGRAMMING: FUTURES, ASYNC, AWAIT

Future<void> printOrderMessage() async {


print('Awaiting user order...');
var order = await fetchUserOrder();
print('Your order is: $order');
}
INTERNAL STATE FOR A STATEFULWIDGET

 State is information that


 can be read synchronously when the widget is built
 might change during the lifetime of the widget.

 State objects have the different lifecycle


 State class - widgets library - Dart API (flutter.dev)
INTERNAL STATE FOR A STATEFULWIDGET

 initState() → void
 Called when this object is inserted into the tree

 activate() → void
 Called when this object is reinserted into the tree after having been removed via deactivate

 build(BuildContext context) → Widget


 Describes the part of the user interface represented by this widget

 deactivate() → void
 Called when this object is removed from the tree

 dispose() → void
 Called when this object is removed from the tree permanently
APIS
API (APPLICATION
PROGRAM
INTERFACE)

 An API is a set of routines,


protocols, and tools for
building software
applications.
 You must have API Keys.
API
GET WEATHER API KEY

 Go to Weather API – OpenWeatherMap and create


get API key.
USING HTTP PACKAGE

 A composable, Future-based library for making HTTP requests.


 This package contains a set of high-level functions and classes that make it easy to consume
HTTP resources.
 Installing
dependencies:
http: ^0.13.4

import 'package:http/http.dart’ as http;


 http | Dart Package (pub.dev)
 Fetch data from the internet | Flutter
USING HTTP PACKAGE - MAKE A NETWORK REQUEST

Future<http.Response> fetchWeather() async {


return await http.get(Uri.parse(' api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?
q={city name}&appid={API_key}'));
}

 The http.Response class contains the data received from a successful http call.
GETTING THE RESPONSE CODE AND BODY

 Get the response body


 response.body

 Get the resoonse code


 response.statusCode
HTTP RESPONSE CODES

 Informational responses (100–199)


 Successful responses (200–299)
 Redirection messages (300–399)
 Client error responses (400–499)
 Server error responses (500–599)
JSON (JAVASCRIPT OBJECT
NOTATION)

 '{"name":"John", "age":30, "car":null}'


 It defines an object with 3 properties:
 name
 age
 car
PARSING THE JSON

 Use the dart:convert library


 dart:convert library - Dart API

 import 'dart:convert’;
 Use the jsonDecode function
 Parses the string and returns the resulting Json object.
 var longitude = jsonDecode(data)[‘coord’][‘lon’];
 jsonDecode function - dart:convert library - Dart API
