A small Android library that wraps the Google Play Services location APIs in RxJava Observables, eliminating callback boilerplate. It supports last-known location, location updates, geofencing, geocoding, activity recognition, and the Current Place / autocomplete APIs.

Use cases

• get last known location on android with rxjava
• subscribe to location updates as an observable stream
• manage geofences without play services callback hell
• geocode a location to a list of addresses
• detect user activity like walking or driving
• fetch place autocomplete suggestions
• use the current place api reactively

When to choose

• your Android app already uses RxJava and you want reactive access to Play Services location APIs
• you want to avoid the LocationClient callback boilerplate
• you need geofencing, geocoding, or activity recognition wrapped in Observables

When to avoid

• you use Kotlin coroutines or Flow instead of RxJava
• you target modern AndroidX location APIs (FusedLocationProviderClient with ListenableFuture) in a new project
• you need a library with an explicit license or active maintenance guarantees
