Huawei Location Kit Flutter Plugin

Huawei Location Kit combines the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), Wi-Fi, and base station location functionalities into your app to build up global positioning capabilities, allowing you to provide flexible location-based services for global users. Currently, it provides three main capabilities: fused location, activity identification, and geofence. You can call one or more of these capabilities as needed.

• Fused Location

  Provides a set of easy-to-use APIs for your app to quickly obtain the device location based on the GNSS, Wi-Fi, and base station location data.

• Activity Identification

  Identifies user motion status through the acceleration sensor, cellular network information, and magnetometer, helping you adapt your app to user behavior.

• Geofence

  Allows you to set an interested area through an API so that your app can receive a notification when a specified action (such as leaving, entering, or staying in the area) occurs.

Installation

Please see pub.dev and AppGallery Connect Configuration.

AOSP 16 (Android 16) migration

• Location stream handlers register dynamic receivers with RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED on Android 13+ (API 33+).
• The plugin targets compileSdk / targetSdk 34; use Android Gradle Plugin 8.x and Gradle 8.x in your app.

Permissions (host app)

Permissions (host app)

Declare permissions your features need in android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml:

Feature	Typical permissions
Fused / foreground location	ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION
Background location	ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION, FOREGROUND_SERVICE, FOREGROUND_SERVICE_LOCATION (Android 14+), POST_NOTIFICATIONS (Android 13+)
setLogConfig	Storage / files access for log directory; use an app-specific path (e.g. getExternalFilesDir)

Request runtime permissions in your app (the example uses permission_handler). Init Fused Location (initFusedLocationService()) is required before fused APIs such as setLogConfig.

setLogConfig may return 10803 (PERMISSION_DENIED) without storage/location grants, or 10806 (NOT_YET_SUPPORTED) on some non-Huawei devices.

Example app

Run flutter-hms-location/example for fused location, background mode, geofence, and activity demos. See example/lib/utils/location_permissions.dart for the permission flow used in the sample.
