App as location source

On many places in Locus Map is used grid with various location sources for point, search etc.

Your own application as another source? Definitely possible.

Workflow

1. Register intent-filter in your activity

<intent-filter>
    <action android:name="locus.api.android.INTENT_ITEM_GET_LOCATION" />
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>

2. Handle received click in your activity as follows:

public override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    ...

    // check intent that started activity
    if (IntentHelper.isIntentGetLocation(intent)) {

        // create and return a new location with the defined name
        IntentHelper.sendGetLocationData(act,
                "Non sence Loc ;)",
                Location().apply {
                    latitude = Math.random() * 85
                    longitude = Math.random() * 180
                })
    }
}

3. Received "Get location" request (intent) also may contain users GPS (if enabled) and map center location. It may be obtained by:

// GPS location
val locGps: Location? = IntentHelper.getLocationFromIntent(intent, LocusConst.INTENT_EXTRA_LOCATION_GPS)
// location of map center
val locMapCenter: Location? = IntentHelper.getLocationFromIntent(intent, LocusConst.INTENT_EXTRA_LOCATION_MAP_CENTER)
