OSMDroid - Set and mark position

General talk
1

Hello,

I’ve got a problem.
Background/Aim
I’m progamming an App, in which the currently GNSS position or by a user setting position is to take over to a map (OSMDroid). Therefore I want to use the class LocationListener from Android because it support many GNSS functions like hardware-data, some accurancy-data (Lon/Lat) and so on.
Currently I’m getting the GNSS position only by OSMDroid Framework with GNSS position and mark symbol. But it is my aim set the position by LocationListener(GNSS) or manuell set position by user.

Library

Der LocationListener isn’t implemented, yet.
Activity
