onLocationUpdated not called in service

[alexnix]

I use this library inside a service, the service extends OnLocationUpdatedListener so I am able to request updates like this:

SmartLocation.with(getApplicationContext()).location().config(LocationParams.NAVIGATION).start(this)

The issue is very strange as my code works on some phone but not on other. On those that does not work I am able to tell that the service did indeed start but onLocationUpdated is never called (GPS is on).

Might that have to do with permission request? I have

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />

in my manifest. But as of Android run time permission maybe I need to request it explicitly or something?

If you make an application for Android Marshmallow and above (api >23) you should request for permissions to the user. See the official docs for learning how to do that.

It is true. I requested permission before calling the library and it worked!

Would be nice if the library included this check too!
