IALocationManager Class Reference

Inherits from	NSObject
Declared in	IALocationManager.h

Overview

The IALocationManager class is central point for configuring the delivery of indoor location related events to your app. You use and instance of this class to establish the parameters that determine when location events should be delivered and to start and stop the actual delivery of those events. You can also use a location manager object to retrieve the most recent location data.

Authenticate your session

`– setApiKey:andSecret:`

Set IndoorAtlas API key and secret for authentication.

- (void)setApiKey:(nonnull NSString *)key andSecret:(nonnull NSString *)secret

Parameters

`key`	API key used for authentication.
`secret`	API secret used for authentication.

Discussion

This method must be called before further requests with server requiring authentication.

Declared In

IALocationManager.h

`– startUpdatingLocation`

Starts the generation of updates that report the user’s current location.

- (void)startUpdatingLocation

Discussion

This method returns immediately. Calling this method causes the location manager to obtain an initial location fix (which may take several seconds) and notify your delegate by calling its <indoorLocationManager:didUpdateLocations:> method. After that, the receiver generates update events whenever there is new estimate.

Calling this method several times in succession does not automatically result in new events being generated. Calling stopUpdatingLocation in between, however, does cause a new initial event to be sent the next time you call this method.

If you start this service and your app is suspended, the system stops the delivery of events until your app starts running again (only in foreground). If your app is terminated, the delivery of new location events stops altogether.

IALocationManager.h

`– stopUpdatingLocation`

Stops the generation of location updates.

- (void)stopUpdatingLocation

Discussion

Call this method whenever your code no longer needs to receive location-related events. Disabling event delivery gives the receiver the option of disabling the appropriate hardware (and thereby saving power) when no clients need location data. You can always restart the generation of location updates by calling the startUpdatingLocation method again.
