- List of all members, including inherited members

## Public Types

enum | Accuracy { Approximate, Precise }
enum | Availability { WhenInUse, Always }

## Public Functions

QLocationPermission::Accuracy | accuracy() const
QLocationPermission::Availability | availability() const
void | setAccuracy(QLocationPermission::Accuracy accuracy)
void | setAvailability(QLocationPermission::Availability availability)

## Detailed Description

By default the request is for approximate accuracy, and only while the application is in use. Use setAccuracy() and/or setAvailability() to override the default.

### Requirements

To request this permission at runtime, the following platform specific usage declarations have to be made at build time:

Platform | Type |
--- | --- | ---
macOS | Usage description | `NSLocationUsageDescription`
iOS | Usage description | `NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription`, and `NSLocationAlwaysAndWhenInUseUsageDescription` if requesting QLocationPermission::Always
Android | `uses-permission` | `android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION` for QLocationPermission::Precise `android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION` for QLocationPermission::Approximate `android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION` for QLocationPermission::Always Note: QLocationPermission::Always `uses-permission` string has to be combined with one or both of QLocationPermission::Precise and QLocationPermission::Approximate strings.

Please see the individual usage declaration types for how to add them to your project.

See also QPermission, QCoreApplication::requestPermission(), QCoreApplication::checkPermission(), and Application Permissions.
