Yes, the LocationRequest constructor is deprecated. You can use its static method LocationRequest.create() to create a location request.

Kotlin:

locationRequest = LocationRequest.create().apply {
    interval = 100
    fastestInterval = 50
    priority = LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY
    maxWaitTime = 100
}

Java:

locationRequest = LocationRequest.create()
    .setInterval(100)
    .setFastestInterval(3000) 
    .setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY)
    .setMaxWaitTime(100);

Update

As @Shimon pointed out LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY is now deprecated, so instead use Priority.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY

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

You can use it like this

val locationRequest = LocationRequest.create().apply {
        interval = LOCATION_UPDATE_INTERVAL
        fastestInterval = LOCATION_FASTEST_INTERVAL
        priority = LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY
    }

Try using LocationRequest.Builder

Below code for creating location request

Kotlin

LocationRequest.Builder(Priority.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY, 10000)
            .apply {
                setWaitForAccurateLocation(false)
                setMinUpdateIntervalMillis(IMPLICIT_MIN_UPDATE_INTERVAL)
                setMaxUpdateDelayMillis(100000)
            }.build()

Java

new LocationRequest.Builder(Priority.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY, 10000)
    .setWaitForAccurateLocation(false)
    .setMinUpdateIntervalMillis(IMPLICIT_MIN_UPDATE_INTERVAL)
    .setMaxUpdateDelayMillis(100000)
    .build()

Just use Xamarin.Essentials the documents are on the official website.

I haven't used location services in a long, long time, so I'm just looking at the documentation for 'LocationRequest.Builder` and guessing at your equivalent code because it looks self-explanatory. Builders are a common pattern, used more often in Java-based APIs like this one than they are used in pure-Kotlin APIs. You can look up "java builder pattern" to read about it.

private fun NewLocation() { 
    val locationRequest = LocationRequest.Builder()
        .setPriority(Priority.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY)
        .setIntervalMillis(0L)
        .setMinUpdateIntervalMillis(0L)
        .setMaxUpdates(1)
        .build()
    mfusedlocation = LocationServices.getFusedLocationProviderClient(this)
    mfusedlocation.requestLocationUpdates(locationRequest, locationCallback, Looper.myLooper())
}

FYI since you're working on a portfolio:

• Function names in Kotlin start with a verb and lower-case letter by convention. Or if it returns a modified copy of an object, you can use a past participle instead of a phrase starting with a verb. For example, I would rename NewLocation() to something like beginLocationRequest().

• The mSomething pattern of naming variables (putting abbreviations in front of variable names) is called Hungarian notation. m stands for "member", but Kotlin properties are not even called member variables. I've never seen Hungarian notation used in Kotlin before, and it is rarely used in Java. It is widely regarded as making code less readable, especially with modern IDEs. I would advise against using it in a portfolio project as it is more likely to damage the impression you want to give than it is to help, especially if you are using it inconsistently.

LocationRequest.Builder works with 1 or 2 parameters. This is the code that worked for me :

 mLocationRequest = new LocationRequest.Builder(Priority.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY, 1000)
                .setWaitForAccurateLocation(false)
                .setMinUpdateIntervalMillis(500)
                .setMaxUpdateDelayMillis(1000)
                .build();
