LocationRequest constructor is marked as internal

Question

I'm trying to set up location updates in my Android app using com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:12.0.0, but I'm getting the following error:

LocationRequest constructor is marked as internal and should not be accessed from apps

My location updates request looks like this:

locationClient.requestLocationUpdates(
    new LocationRequest()
        .setInterval(5000)
        .setFastestInterval(1000)
        .setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY),
    locationCallback,
    null
);

I have followed the docs and the example, which do it the same way. If I'm not supposed to call new LocationRequest(), then what is the proper way to do it?

Answer 1

Use static methodLocationRequest create ().

 LocationRequest locationRequest = LocationRequest.create();
 locationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
 locationRequest.setInterval(5000);
 locationRequest.setFastestInterval(1000);

Answer 2

LocationRequest initialization procedure has changed into latest Google Play Service dependencies ( > 12.0.0). Now you can use its create() method to initialize this. e.g.

LocationRequest request = LocationRequest.create();
