Using LocationManager from another class than Main
- by iphonePom
Hi,
i'm new here,
i'm new in iphone development,
i'm new in Objective-c
and i'm new in engligh speaking, so don't hate me :P
I'm creating an application that will use the location manager to display the distance between the own position and the positions of a list of shops, like AroundME.
Now, i give the locationManager property to my main class and in the .m of that class, precisely in the viewDidLoad method, i make: [locationManager startUpdatingLocation].
It all works fine, but the problem is:
i need to know my position in other classes than the main, but i don't think that is a good idea making [locationManager startUpdatingLocation] every time i need it, is not time overhead?
The view of my main class is always below the others, so can i retrieve the updated location in my other classes? In what way?
Creating another instance of my main class is not useful, i think, but the locationManager, once started, doesn't stop until my main class is released, isn't true? So i think that it is accessible in some way.
Thanks for your attention and sorry for my awful english : )
