Get device location in latitude-longitude in xamarin forms

Question

I have a scanner in my application, and as I am scanning any QR code I need to get a current location of device in latitude-longitude. I don't have any idea how to get location so I don't have any piece of code right now. Suggest me some ways to get location on scanning completion of QR code.

Geolocator Plugin example:

var locator = CrossGeolocator.Current;
locator.DesiredAccuracy = 50;
var position = await locator.GetPositionAsync (timeoutMilliseconds: 10000);
Console.WriteLine ("Position Status: {0}", position.Timestamp);
Console.WriteLine ("Position Latitude: {0}", position.Latitude);
Console.WriteLine ("Position Longitude: {0}", position.Longitude);
