42,478 PointsGetting device location with Android M style permissions
So I had followed the two courses building the weather app and then extending it with recycler views.
I had planned to make this use a device's current location which in the emulator is 'kinda works' I definately returns different data than using the default hard coded lat/lon though it doesn't seem to be getting the proper data.
I wanted to test on my physical device but don't know how to navigate Android M style permissions. I was hoping someone here has done it and would be willing to share their code. I initially put all the location stuff in Main Activity but its looking cumbersome and messy, Also I would think this like an http request should happen on an off thread and not the main thread.
