This app shows how to use a foreground service and fetch location updates in background to visualize your current location on a map. You can find out how this is done in BackgroundPositioningExample.java. The app shows a status bar notification, so that users are actively aware that the app is fetching location updates until the service is stopped or the app is removed.

Build instructions:

1. Copy the AAR file of the HERE SDK for Android to your app's app/libs folder.

Note: If your AAR version is different than the version shown in the Developer Guide, you may need to adapt the source code of the example app.

2. Open Android Studio and sync the project.

Please do not forget: To run the app, you need to add your HERE SDK credentials to the MainActivity.java file. More information can be found in the Get Started section of the Developer Guide.
