Starting

For getting current location one time:

    MbLocationServices mbLocationServices = MbLocationServices.with(this);

           // Optional Params
           mbLocationServices.setFastestInterval(1000 * 5);
           mbLocationServices.setInterval(1000 * 10);
           mbLocationServices.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
           mbLocationServices.setOneFix(true);

           mbLocationServices.init(new MbLocationListener() {
               @Override
               public void onLocationUpdate(Location location) {
                   Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Latitude=" + location.getLatitude() + ", Longitude=" + location.getLongitude(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
               }

               @Override
               public void onError(MbLocationError errorCode) {
                   Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Error=" + errorCode.message, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                   switch (errorCode.errorCode) {
                       case MbLocationUtil.LOCATION_PLAY_SERVICE_ERROR:
                           // Do your project specific stuff here..
                           break;
                       case MbLocationUtil.LOCATION_PROVIDER_ERROR:
                           // Do your project specific stuff here..
                           break;
                   }

               }
           });

For getting current location (Periodic):

      mbLocationServices.setOneFix(false);

Stopping

For stopping the location just use the stop method.

MbLocationServices.with(this).stopLocationUpdates();

Utility

// To get the human readable address
Address address = MbLocationUtil.with(mContext).getAddressFromLocation(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());
        
// Check if the location services are enabled
MbLocationUtil.with(mContext).locationServicesEnabled();
        
// Check if any provider (network or gps) is enabled
MbLocationUtil.with(mContext).isAnyProviderAvailable();
        
// Check if GPS is available
MbLocationUtil.with(mContext).isGpsAvailable();
        
// Check if Network is available
MbLocationUtil.with(mContext).isNetworkAvailable();
        
// Check if the passive provider is available
MbLocationUtil.with(mContext).isPassiveAvailable();
        
// Check if the location is mocked
MbLocationUtil.with(mContext).isMockSettingEnabled();
