it does only show if the extension uses the permission android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION and as this extension is not able to run in the background, you actually do not need “Allow all the time”…

solved it by add ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION in manifest.xml
Result : Allow all the time

but a problem i have with BLE Scan in samsung android 10 while screen is off Scan Stoping

which however does not help to get the extension running in the background…

Then how can you read the location even though the application is not used?

#41

this can be done with a service… for example my locationservice extension is able to do it…

however it currently runs only in MIT App Inventor… in Kodular we have to wait, until AndroidX libraries are supported

What is your query @Ayun ?? You can get users geolocation easily by using default Kodular blocks. Plenty of suggestions are available free of cost in our community

#53

does your extension work for Kodular today?

#54

yes

As the UsesServices annotation meanwhile has been added into Kodular, this extension now also works in Kodular.

Hi, I would like to understand how works the ProximityAlert block and how many of them I can use in the same screen. I have 8 zones (actually circle zones with a radius between 3 to 5 meters) and every time the Location Sensor detects a location change I test if I am inside one of them so I would know if the ProximityAlert block may help to somplify their management.
