Bearing

The Bearing library is for simplifying location based requests into a simple, fluent API. All requests are asynchronous and callback to configured listeners

Current location

Get the current location of the user

Bearing.with(context).locate().listen({...}).start();

The current location module also allows the definition of a required accuracy of the request.

Bearing.with(context).locate().accuracy(Accuracy.HIGH).listen({...}).start();

The default accuracy is MEDIUM which gives the location to the nearest 50m

Geocoding

To get a list of possible addresses with lat,lng coordinates for a given query

Bearing.with(context).geocode("New York, NY").listen({...}).start();

Other configurable options include the number of results to return (Default: 10)

Bearing.with(context).geocode("New York, NY").results(5).listen({...}).start();

Reverse Geocoding

Bearing also supports reverse geocoding. The action of turning a lat,lng pair into an address

Location location;
Bearing.with(context).geocode(location).listen({...}).start();

Bearing supports Reverse Geocoding for the following objects:

android.location.Location;
android.location.Address;
com.google.android.gms.maps.model.LatLng;
