Utility class for simple block-based getting of current user's location on iOS. This class encapsulates CLLocationManager under super-simple, block-based Objective-C interface.

Usage

Implement FTLocationManager into your project

1. Download FTLocationManager sources from this repository
2. Add files from FTLocationManager folder to your project (FTLocationManager.h/.m)
3. Link you project with CoreLocation.framework

Use it

//  Get FTLocationManager singleton instance
FTLocationManager *locationManager = [FTLocationManager sharedManager];

//  Ask the location manager to get current location and get notified using provided handler block
[locationManager updateLocationWithCompletionHandler:^(CLLocation *location, NSError *error, BOOL locationServicesDisabled) {
    if (error)
    {
        //  Handle error here
        if (locationServicesDisabled) {
            //  Location services are disabled, you can ask the user to enable them for example
        }
    }
    else
    {
        //  Do whatever you want with the current user's location
    }
}];

You are done!

Additional configuration

You can customize behavior of FTLocationManager using few properties, but you do not generally need to do this as it uses reasonable default values.

maxErrorsCount

Manager automatically skips few first received errors in order to really get some location.

Default value: 3 errors (handler block with error will be called on 3rd error returned by internal CLLocationManager

errorTimeout

Manager automatically uses timeout to make sure handler block will be really called in some reasonable time from requesting the location.

Default value: 3s (if the internal CLLocationManager does not give any location in 3s from calling updateLocationWithCompletionHandler:, handler block will be called with custom error with FTLocationManagerErrorDomain domain and FTLocationManagerErrorCodeTimedOut status code)

Implementation details

FTLocationManager makes use of CLLocationManager and encapulates it under very simple block-based interface. Please see example project and source code for details on implementation.

Compatibility

Tested on iOS 5.0+ with ARC
