How To: Force to Android GPS and Network Providers (no gms)

[moiatto]

How can I force LocationEngineProvider to use Android GPS and Network Providers instead Google's Fused Location Providers ?

Short story:

The problem start from the last line:

MapboxNavigationOptions options = MapboxNavigationOptions.builder()
                .isDebugLoggingEnabled(true)
                .build();
navigation = new MapboxNavigation(requireContext(), options);
navigation.addNavigationEventListener(this);
navigation.addMilestoneEventListener(this);
navigation.setLocationEngine(LocationEngineProvider.getBestLocationEngine(requireContext()));

I have this dependencies in my app

implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:21.0.1'
implementation 'com.github.maplibre:maplibre-navigation-android:84e9f77a55' 
implementation 'org.maplibre.gl:android-sdk:9.6.0'    

The gms v21.0.1 is not compatible with maplibre-gl v9.6.0, throwing this error:

java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError: Found interface com.google.android.gms.location.FusedLocationProviderClient....

I have tried to update maplibre-gl to the last version v10.0.1, but there are 2 problems;

1. I don't understand the documentation to obtain a valid LocationEngine to pass in navigation.setLocationEngine

2. On run app I get errors about icons not found linked in the library file values.xml at pos: 9711:

   ....
   <style name="mapbox_LocationLayer">
       <item name="mapbox_foregroundDrawable">@drawable/mapbox_user_icon</item>
       <item name="mapbox_backgroundDrawable">@drawable/mapbox_user_stroke_icon</item>
       <item name="mapbox_bearingDrawable">@drawable/mapbox_user_bearing_icon</item>
       <item name="mapbox_gpsDrawable">@drawable/mapbox_user_puck_icon</item>
   
       <item name="mapbox_foregroundDrawableStale">@drawable/mapbox_user_icon_stale</item>
       <item name="mapbox_backgroundDrawableStale">@drawable/mapbox_user_stroke_icon</item>
   
       <item name="mapbox_accuracyAlpha">0.15</item>
       <item name="mapbox_accuracyColor">@color/mapbox_location_layer_blue</item>
   ....

   where can i find these icons?

So, the alternative is to use Android GPS and Network Providers instead of Google's Fused Location Providers.

This repo is now on v10.0.2, maybe you want to try again?

I will close this for now, as I haven't heard back. You can set the locationEngine when you init the MapboxNavigation class.
