LocationRequest() is obsolete and deprecated

Question

I was building my Geolocation Xamarin App and recently found out upon trying to create a "mLocationRequest = new LocationRequest()" that LocationRequest() has been deprecated. Does anyone know how or what code to replace it with?

Hello,

Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

Yes, the LocationRequest constructor is deprecated. You can use its static method:

So, you can change your code like this:

    void CreateLocationRequest()  
    {  
       // mLocationRequest = new LocationRequest();  
        mLocationRequest = LocationRequest.Create();  

        mLocationRequest.SetInterval(UPDATE_INTERVAL);  
        mLocationRequest.SetFastestInterval(FASTEST_INTERVAL);  
        mLocationRequest.SetPriority(LocationRequest.PriorityHighAccuracy);  
        mLocationRequest.SetSmallestDisplacement(DISPLACEMENT);  
        locationClient = LocationServices.GetFusedLocationProviderClient(this);  
    }

Jessie,

I've run into another deprecated Xamarin/Google/Android Nuget. Do you know of a workaround for using the "PlaceAutoComplete.IntentBuilder" service in the Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Places API?

Here's a code sample:
private void LayoutDestination_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Intent intent = new PlaceAutocomplete.IntentBuilder(PlaceAutocomplete.ModeOverlay)
.Build(this);
StartActivityForResult(intent, 2);
}

    private void LayoutPickup_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)  
    {  
        Intent intent = new PlaceAutocomplete.IntentBuilder(PlaceAutocomplete.ModeOverlay)  
            .Build(this);  
        StartActivityForResult(intent, 1);  
    }  

My Warning messages say, 'PlaceAutocomplete' is obsolete: 'This class is obsolete in this android platform'.

In my emulator, Google can't find the address entered.![101868-placeautocomplete-deprecated.png][2]
