How can I retrieve my Geopoint object from firestore

Question

I'm saving my current device location using Firestore's Geopoint object.

On retrieving it, It comes as below (toString()):

{geoPoint=GeoPoint { latitude=-1.2968733, longitude=36.8906349 }}

How can I retrieve the latitude and longitude?

If you know the field is a GeoPoint type object, just fetch it as a GeoPoint type field, then use its getLatitude and getLongitude methods to access those values. Don't bother converting it to a string.

GeoPoint gp = snapshot.getGeoPoint("your-field");
double lat = gp.getLatitude();
double lon = gp.getLongitude();
