flutter why can't I print device's location on screen - flutter

Question

I was trying to print my emulated device's location but it just prints a bunch of stuff rather than the location of the device. I've checked and the device's location is turned on.
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:geolocator/geolocator.dart';
void main() {
runApp(LocationApp());
}
class LocationApp extends StatelessWidget {
void locationGet() async {
Position position = await Geolocator.getCurrentPosition(
desiredAccuracy: LocationAccuracy.low);
print(position);
}
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
home: Scaffold(
body: Center(
child: RaisedButton(
onPressed: () {
locationGet();
},
child: Text('LOCATION'),
),
),
),
);
}
}
and this is what I'm getting as an error while the location of the device is turned on and I have even allowed the use of location when it prompted me

Answer 1

you could try asking for permission:
LocationPermission permission = await Geolocator.checkPermission();
LocationPermission permission = await Geolocator.requestPermission();
Got it from here:
https://pub.dev/packages/geolocator
Also, in order to print the location, you should print something like this:
print(position == null ? 'Unknown' : position.latitude.toString() + ', ' + position.longitude.toString());
});

Answer 2

The problem is that some of the android virtual device's in android studio have bugs, in this case it was the google pixel 3, no matter what you do it will not return its location, you can fix it by just using a different device, the Nexus 5x works fine.

Answer 3

When you're using geolocator on a emulator, you always get the same position (37.4219983, -122.084). That's the default settings.
On a real device, I think there is actually a problem with the package on some android versions. I am getting the same error ("The location service on the device is disabled."). The issue has been reported on the github repository issue 585 . Some solutions has been proposed, like trying with different desiredAccuracy (best, high, medium).
