1.5.015 Aug 2018

It is now possible to check the location permissions using the checkGeolocationStatus method [ISSUE #51].

It is now possible to check the location permissions using the checkGeolocationStatus method [ISSUE #51].
Improved the example App [ISSUE #54]
Solved a bug on Android causing a memory leak when you stop listening to the position stream.
*breaking- Solved a bug on Android where permissions could be requested more then once simultaneously [ISSUE #58]
Solved a bug on Android where requesting permissions twice would cause the App to crash [ISSUE #61]

Important:

To be able to correctly fix issue #58 we had to change the getPositionStream method into a async method. This means the signature of the method has been changed from:

Stream<Position> getPositionStream([LocationOptions locationOptions = const LocationOptions()])

to

Future<Stream<Position>> getPositionStream([LocationOptions locationOptions = const LocationOptions()]).

Meaning as a developer you'll now have to await the result of the method to get access to the actual stream.

Added feature to throttle the amount of locations updates based on a supplied distance filter.

Important:

This introduces a breaking change since the signature of the getPositionStream has changed from getPositionStream(LocationAccuracy accuracy) to getPositionStream(LocationOptions locationOptions) .

Made some small changes to ensure the plugin no longer is depending on JAVA 8, meaning the plugin will run using the default Android configuration.

Introduced the option to supply a desired accuracy.

*Important:-

This introduces a breaking change, the getPosition and onPositionChanged properties have been replaced by methods (getPosition([LocationAccuracy desiredAccuracy = LocationAccuracy.Best]) and getPositionStream([LocationAccuracy desiredAccuracy = LocationAccuracy.Best]) respectively) accepting a parameter to indicate the desired accuracy.

Updated the Android part to make use of the LocationManager instead of the FusedLocationProviderClient
Improved support for handling position requests that happen in rapid succession.
