IALocation Class Reference

Inherits from	NSObject
Declared in	IALocationManager.h

Overview

An IALocation object represents the location data generated by an IALocationManager object. This object incorporates the geographical coordinates along with values indicating the accuracy of the measurements and when those measurements were made. This class also reports information about the the course, the direction in which the device is traveling.

Typically, you use an IALocationManager object to create instances of this class based on the last known location of the user’s device. You can create instances yourself, however, if you want to cache custom location data or get the distance between two points.

This class is designed to be used as is and should not be subclassed.

Initializing a Location Object

`+ locationWithCLLocation:`

Initializes and returns a location object with specified CoreLocation information.

+ (nonnull IALocation *)locationWithCLLocation:(nonnull CLLocation *)location

Parameters

`location`	CLLocation object. Might be initialized in code or from CLLocationManager. An explicit location is used as a hint in the system. This means that the inputted location is used only to determine the initial position and setting the location does not lock the floor or venue context.

`+ locationWithCLLocation:andFloor:`

Initializes and returns a location object with specified CoreLocation information.

+ (nonnull IALocation *)locationWithCLLocation:(nonnull CLLocation *)location andFloor:(nullable IAFloor *)floor

Parameters

`location`	CLLocation object. Might be initialized in code or from CLLocationManager.
`<IAFloor>`	object with level information. Nil IAFloor means that the floor is unknown. An explicit location is used as a hint in the system. This means that the inputted location is used only to determine the initial position and setting the location does not lock the floor or venue context.

Location Attributes

`location`

CoreLocation compatible location information. (read-only)

@property (nonatomic, readonly, nullable) CLLocation *location

Discussion

When running in the simulator, IALocationManager provides fake values. You must run your application on an actual iOS device to get the actual location of the device.

Declared In

IALocationManager.h

Optional attributes

`floor`

The logical floor of the building.

@property (nonatomic, readwrite, nullable) IAFloor *floor

Discussion

This property is included as CLLocation’s CLFloor is private interface. Thus it may be deprecated in future.

Declared In

IALocationManager.h

`region`

Region this location was obtained from.

@property (nonatomic, readwrite, nullable) IARegion *region

Declared In

IALocationManager.h

`soft`

Experimental feature for soft location updates. The API may be changed in future. Set to true before giving as a custom location to IALocationManager to make the location behave more like radio source rather than a location hint.

@property (nonatomic, assign) bool soft
