For me, it was because I used the wrong import.

Try using the right one:

import com.google.android.gms.location.LocationRequest;

You are using the wrong class.

instead of using the class LocationRequest that is part of android.location package write the following in your imports section:

import com.google.android.gms.location.LocationRequest;

LocationRequest locationRequest = 
 new LocationRequest.Builder(
  LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY,
  10000
 ).build();

locationRequest.setFastestInterval(5000);

Hello,

Before you start to use Api to access the Google location services, please install following nuget packages in your application.

Xamarin.AndroidX.Fragment.Ktx

Xamarin.GooglePlayServices.Location

Then, Android.Gms.Location.LocationRequest.Create is deprecated. Please use Android.Gms.Location.LocationRequest.Builder to do it.

For MAUI, you do not need to use Dependence service to invoke specific platform code. Please use Conditional compilation

You can refer to the following code.

private async void OnCounterClicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
#if ANDROID
            try
            {
               
                var locationRequest =new Android.Gms.Location.LocationRequest.Builder(Priority.PriorityHighAccuracy,100);
                LocationSettingsRequest.Builder builder = new LocationSettingsRequest.Builder().AddLocationRequest(locationRequest.Build());
                var response = await LocationServices.GetSettingsClient(Platform.CurrentActivity).CheckLocationSettingsAsync(builder.Build());
            }
            catch (ApiException exception)
            {
                switch (exception.StatusCode)
                {
                    case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.ResolutionRequired:
                        ResolvableApiException resolvable = (ResolvableApiException)exception;
                        resolvable.StartResolutionForResult(Platform.CurrentActivity, 0x1);
                        break;
                    default:
                        break;
                }
            }


#endif
        }

As note: please do not forget to add used Namespace in Conditional compilation.

#if ANDROID
using Android.Gms.Common.Apis;
using Android.Gms.Location;
#endif

Use static methodLocationRequest create ().

 LocationRequest locationRequest = LocationRequest.create();
 locationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
 locationRequest.setInterval(5000);
 locationRequest.setFastestInterval(1000);
