Your question

Hi

I tried to add geolocator to an existing project, but the compilation fails on android with the following error :

/Users/xxx/.pub-cache/hosted/pub.dev/geolocator_android-4.5.2/android/src/main/java/com/baseflow/geolocator/location/FusedLocationClient.java:29: error: cannot find symbol import com.google.android.gms.location.Priority; ^ symbol: class Priority location: package com.google.android.gms.location /Users/xxx/.pub-cache/hosted/pub.dev/geolocator_android-4.5.2/android/src/main/java/com/baseflow/geolocator/location/FusedLocationClient.java:91: error: cannot find symbol LocationRequest.Builder builder = new LocationRequest.Builder(0); ^ symbol: class Builder location: class LocationRequest

And several related errors of the same type I tried to clean the pub cache, event the gradle cache, but I keep getting this error and can't find much about it on the internet.

Some relevant configurations items :

• compileSdkVersion 34
• jvmTarget = '17'
• sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
• minSdkVersion 26
• classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.1.2'
• classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.10'

Any help will be appreciated ! Thanks

Dear @galvin59,

Can you add the output of flutter doctor -v to this issue?

Kind regards,

[mvanbeusekom]

Hi @galvin59,

The types mentioned are declared as part of the com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:21.1.0 library. Normally when depending on the geolocator plugin this Android library should automatically be added to your project. However in certain cases (usually involving specific configuration in the build.gradle file) this library is excluded from the project.

Could you try adding the following to the dependencies section in your android/app/build.gradle file:

    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:21.1.0'

If this doesn't work, please provide the output of the flutter doctor -v command (as mentioned by @TimHoogstrate ) and if possible your build.gradle file.

Please let us know.

[galvin59]

Thanks for your help adding implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:21.1.0' did not help unfortunately

[Mastersam07]

I am also facing similar issue.

[DineshIT]

Could any other version set help us to resolve this issue?

[Mastersam07]

I did a dependency override for geolocation android and it worked.

geolocator_android: 4.2.0

[DineshIT]

But if I add this in dependency override, build issue has been resolved but the map is not loading

[Coosis]

did a dependency override for geolocation android and it worked.

geolocator_android: 4.2.0

I ran into the same error, and this worked, thanks! I have successfully reproduced the problem with the newest version of flutter:

1. flutter create a new project
2. flutter pub add geolocator
3. flutter pub get
4. flutter build apk Below are my error output:

BUILD FAILED in 12s

[ethicnology]

Could you provide more information on how you solve this issue because I added geolocator and geolocator_android and I'm still failing to build android apk

[ethicnology]

I solve the problem by editing android/settings.gradle

id "org.jetbrains.kotlin.android" version "1.9.22" apply false //1.9.22 is the latest kotlin version

[mvanbeusekom]

Hi @galvin59,

During a deeper dive we realized that a recents upgrade of the com.google.android.gms:play-services-location (from 21.0.1 to 21.1.0) also required an update of the Kotlin tooling. Something Google hasn't mentioned in their release notes unfortunately.

This means that for Flutter projects that use Kotlin (which is the default at the moment) as their Android native language some extra steps need to happen (also mentioned by @ethicnology).

Although the error is different from the error you report, I would appreciate it if you could give it a try. The steps to update the Kotlin version used in your project are (original comment):

1. Open the fileandroid/settings.gradle
2. Change the version number from "1.7.10" to "1.9.20" of the org.jetbrains.kotlin.android dependency in settings.gradle file:

Before:

plugins {
    id "dev.flutter.flutter-plugin-loader" version "1.0.0"
    id "com.android.application" version "7.3.0" apply false
    id "org.jetbrains.kotlin.android" version "1.7.10" apply false
}  

After:

 plugins {
    id "dev.flutter.flutter-plugin-loader" version "1.0.0"
    id "com.android.application" version "7.3.0" apply false
    id "org.jetbrains.kotlin.android" version "1.9.20" apply false
} 

3. Go to android/build.gradle and added the following block of code at the very top of the build.gradle file:

 buildscript {
    ext.kotlin_version = '1.5.31'
}

4. Run the following commands from the project directory:

cd android
./gradlew clean
cd ..
flutter clean
flutter pub get

5. Run the application to see if the problem is resolved.

[mvanbeusekom]

@Harsh-4002, please have a look at issue #1441. I contains details instructions (same as my comment above yours) on how to resolve it.

I will delete your question as it pollutes the question of the original poster.

[mvanbeusekom]

@galvin59, we have recently reverted the upgrade of the com.google.android.gms:play-services-location library from version 21.0.1 to 21.1.0.

As of version 4.5.3 of the geolocator_android package the Geolocator makes use of version 21.0.1 the com.google.android.gms:play-services-location library again which should resolve the issue you have reported.
