Is 'constructor LocationRequest()' deprecated in google maps v2?

Question

I stumbled upon this message recently, and I was pretty sure that this constructor wasn't deprecated in prior versions to 18.0.0, but I cannot find information anywhere that this one has been deprecated either.

And what should we use instead, is there another way to create a locationRequest ?

Answer 1

LocationRequest.create().apply{ ... } is now also deprecated.

Please use LocationRequest.Builder() instead. I.E. like this:

(locationInterval, locationFastestInterval and locationMaxWaitTime corresponds to the values used before when using create())

        locationRequest = LocationRequest.Builder(Priority.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY, locationInterval)
            .setWaitForAccurateLocation(false)
            .setMinUpdateIntervalMillis(locationFastestInterval)
            .setMaxUpdateDelayMillis(locationMaxWaitTime)
            .build()
