May be problem with the extension used in the aia. Instead of extension(kio4) use default Google apps alone to get user location

@khodrolist

why Allow all the time permission does not show

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

@khodrolist

solved it by add ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION in manifest.xml

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?

@Ayun

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

this can be done with a service… for example my locationservice extension is able to do it…
https://puravidaapps.com/locationservice.php
however it currently runs only in MIT App Inventor… in Kodular we have to wait, until AndroidX libraries are supported

Regards.

[Ayun]

Sorry, can I try it first before buying the extension?

[Still-learning (1-2-3-4...)]

Then try his apk…

[Ayun]

why can’t this extension be used on codular?

[Ayun]

I have bought this extension but I am still confused about using it in mit app inv.
can anyone help me to make a simple arrangement?

@Ayun

I have bought this extension

what you mean by bought this extension is free

[Ayun]

I mean, I have purchased this extension for $ 12

[Still-learning (1-2-3-4...)]

@Ayun

extension for $ 12

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

Why can’t Location Service Extension be used on Kodular?

[Still-learning (1-2-3-4...)]

Refer here

Get Realtime Location From User Device

Should we call this a guide? Only a screenshot of designer screen and a copy paste of all blocks. And moreover you’re not asking user to enable Location when the button is clicked. An EPIC Guide should include this. And At least explain what blocks do.

does your extension work for Kodular today?

@lucas_dnts

does your extension work for Kodular today

yes

App Inventor Extensions: Location Service | Pura Vida Apps

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.
