Mapbox - Can I use the locationlistener without Mapbox map

问题

I know the way to use locationListener and triggering the GPS is done like that:

mapboxMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);

I want to open the locationListener at app start, but I don't want to use the map in the startActivity. Just using the locationListener without map.

How can I do with Mapbox ?

You can use an instance of LocationEngine to acquire location updates without showing the map.

final LocationEngine locationEngine = new LostLocationEngine(this);
locationEngine.setPriority(LocationEnginePriority.HIGH_ACCURACY);
locationEngine.addLocationEngineListener(new LocationEngineListener() {
  @Override
  public void onConnected() {
    locationEngine.requestLocationUpdates();
  }

  @Override
  public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {

  }
});
locationEngine.activate();

Make sure that once you finish getting the location information needed or your activity gets destroyed you remove all listeners, stop requesting updates and deactivate the engine.

The answer is no! You cannot do it and I recommend you should not do it as it will increase your apk size a lot. If you just need the location listener, there're a lot of libraries which can do it for you as: Smart Location Library:

SmartLocation.with(context).location()
.start(new OnLocationUpdatedListener() { ... });
