6.2 Location Based Service :

 Location-based services (LBS) are applications or services that use geographical location data
(like GPS or network-based location) to provide relevant information or perform actions based
on where the user is located.

1. Creating the Project

 To use Google Maps in your application, you first need to create a new project in Google
Cloud Console.

 Go to the Google Cloud Console, create a new project, and enable the Google Maps SDK for
Android.

 Once enabled, you can generate an API key that will allow your app to access Google Maps
services.

2. Getting the Maps API Key

 Go to Google Cloud Console → APIs & Services → Credentials.

 Create new credentials for your app by selecting Create Credentials → API Key.

 Restrict the API Key to your app’s package name to prevent unauthorized access.

 Copy this key and use it in your app to authenticate your API requests.

3. Displaying the Map

 In your Android app, add a MapFragment or SupportMapFragment to your layout XML.

 In your activity, obtain a GoogleMap object using getMapAsync().

 Program to display a simple map:

public class CurrentLocation extends AppCompatActivity implements OnMapReadyCallback

{
private GoogleMap mMap;
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_current_location);
SupportMapFragment smp=(SupportMapFragment)
getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map);
smp.getMapAsync(this);
}

Mobile Application Development Unit-VI Security and Application Deployment

public void onMapReady(GoogleMap gmap)

{
mMap=gmap;

LatLng sydney=new LatLng(-34,151);

mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(sydney).title("Marker in sydney"));
mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(sydney));

}
}
Output :

4. Displaying the Zoom Control

● By default, zoom controls are enabled in Google Maps. If you want to enable them explicitly,
as
mMap.getUiSettings().setZoomControlsEnabled(true);

This will allow the user to zoom in and out of the map using on-screen buttons.

Department of Computer Engineering 5 Mrs. Kulkarni D.P.

Mobile Application Development Unit-VI Security and Application Deployment

5. Navigating to a Specific Location

● You can navigate to a specific location on the map by using CameraUpdateFactory to move
the camera to the desired coordinates:

LatLng location = new LatLng(40.7128, -74.0060); // New York City

mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(location, 15));

This will move the camera to New York City with a zoom level of 15.

6. Adding Markers

● To add a marker on the map, use the addMarker() method:

LatLng location = new LatLng(40.7128, -74.0060); // New York City

mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(location).title("Marker in NYC"));

This will place a marker at the specified latitude and longitude with a title.

7. Getting Location

Program to find Current location of user.

 You can use FusedLocationProviderClient to get the user’s current location (latitude and
longitude):

 Permissions to set in AndroidMenifest.xml

o <uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
o <uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>

 activity_current_location.xml

SupportMapFragment smp = (SupportMapFragment)
getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map);
smp.getMapAsync(this);
}

public void onMapReady(GoogleMap gmap)

{
mMap = gmap;
FusedLocationProviderClient objt =
LocationServices.getFusedLocationProviderClient(this);
obj.getLastLocation().addOnSuccessListener(this, new OnSuccessListener<Location>()
{
@Override
public void onSuccess(Location location)
{
if (location != null)
{
double latitude = location.getLatitude();
double longitude = location.getLongitude();
LatLng currentLocation = new LatLng(latitude, longitude);
mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(currentLocation).title("You are here"));
mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(currentLocation));
}
}
});
}
}

 Output :

8. Geocoding and Reverse Geocoding

 Geocoding: Convert an address into geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude).

 Reverse Geocoding: Convert geographic coordinates back into a human-readable address.

 Example of Geocoding:

Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(this, Locale.getDefault());

List<Address> addresses = geocoder.getFromLocationName("New York", 1);
if (addresses != null && !addresses.isEmpty())
{
Address address = addresses.get(0);
LatLng newYork = new LatLng(address.getLatitude(), address.getLongitude());
mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(newYork).title("New York"));
mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(newYork, 10));
}

Department of Computer Engineering 8 Mrs. Kulkarni D.P.

 Mobile Application Development Unit-VI Security and Application Deployment

 Example of Reverse Geocoding (getting address from latitude and longitude):

Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(this, Locale.getDefault());

List<Address> addresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(40.7128, -74.0060, 1);
if (addresses != null && !addresses.isEmpty())
{
Address address = addresses.get(0);
String addressText = address.getAddressLine(0); // Get the full address
Log.d("Geocoding", "Address: " + addressText);
}

9. Getting Location Data

 You can get details like the user’s location, speed, altitude, etc., from the Location object
provided by the FusedLocationProviderClient:

Location location = fusedLocationClient.getLastLocation();

if (location != null) {

double latitude = location.getLatitude();

double longitude = location.getLongitude();

float speed = location.getSpeed(); // Speed in meters/second

float altitude = location.getAltitude(); // Altitude in meters

10. Monitoring Location

● You can set up location updates to monitor the user’s movement in real-time using
FusedLocationProviderClient. This is useful for navigation apps or when you need to track
the user’s location continuously.

LocationRequest locationRequest = LocationRequest.create();

locationRequest.setInterval(10000); // 10 seconds
locationRequest.setFastestInterval(5000); // 5 seconds
locationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);

fusedLocationClient.requestLocationUpdates(locationRequest, locationCallback,
Looper.getMainLooper());

6.3. Android Security Model:

⎯ App Isolation (Sandbox):
o Each app runs in its own isolated space, like a separate room.
o This prevents apps from interfering with each other's data.

⎯ Unique User IDs:

o Every app gets a unique ID when installed.

o This reinforces the isolation, making it hard for bad apps to access good app's stuff.

⎯ App Signing:

o Apps are "signed" with a digital certificate, like a seal.

o This confirms who created the app and helps verify it's not tampered with.

⎯ Permissions at Installation:

o Apps must tell you what resources they need (like internet access) when you install
them.
o This is to ensure that you are aware of what an application is accessing.
⎯ Purpose of Permissions:
o Protects user privacy and system security.
o Apps must request permission for sensitive data & system features.
o Some permissions require user approval, while others are auto-granted.

⎯ Types of Permissions
1. Normal Permissions (Low-risk)
o Allow access to resources outside the app sandbox.
o Normal permissions allow an app to access non-sensitive system features that do not
affect user privacy or the functionality of other apps.
o Automatically granted at install time (No user approval needed).
o Example: Setting the time zone,Vibrate,Internet,Access Network state.
2. Signature Permissions (Restricted to Same Developer)
o Only granted when both apps are signed by the same developer certificate.
o Used mainly for internal communication between apps developed by the same
company or developer..
o Granted at install time without user interaction.
o Example : Read logs, Install Shortcuts etc.

Department of Computer Engineering 10 Mrs. Kulkarni D.P.

Mobile Application Development Unit-VI Security and Application Deployment

3. Dangerous Permission (High-risk)

o Allow access to sensitive user data (e.g., contacts, SMS, location).
o User must manually approve the request at runtime.
o Without approval, the app cannot access the data.
o Users can revoke these permissions anytime from device settings.
o Example: Reading contacts,Messages,Location etc

6.4. Publish your Android app on the Google Play Store:

Step 1: Create a Developer Account
 Sign up on Google Play Console and pay a one-time $25 fee.
 Fill in your details and wait for approval (can take up to 48 hours).
Step 2: Set Up a Merchant Account (If selling)
 If you want to sell apps or in-app purchases, create a Google Merchant Account to receive
payments.
Step 3: Create Your App
 In Google Play Console, click "Create App".
 Enter basic details like app name, category, and pricing (free or paid).
Step 4: Add Store Details
 Fill in app description, screenshots, app icon, and contact details.
 Add a privacy policy URL if your app collects user data.
Step 5: Upload Your App File (APK/AAB)
 Go to "Production Release" and upload your signed APK/AAB file.
 Add release notes (explain what’s new in this version).
Step 6: Set Content Rating
 Answer some questions about your app’s content (violence, age rating, etc.).
 Get an official Google Play content rating.
Step 7: Choose Pricing & Availability
 Decide if your app is free or paid (you can’t change free to paid later).
 Select the countries where your app should be available.
Step 8: Publish Your App
 Review everything and click "Start Rollout to Production".
 Google will review your app (can take a few hours to days).
 Once approved, your app will be live on the Play Store!
