LocationButtonProvider

Kotlin |Java

public interface LocationButtonProvider

android.app.permissionui.LocationButtonProvider

The primary entry point for the Location Button API.

This interface allows an application to request a system-rendered button that, when tapped, grants the app temporary/one-time permission to access the user's precise location. It provides a trusted and standardized way for users to share their location for a specific task.

Instances of this interface are obtained from LocationButtonProviderFactory.
