How can fetch data on the basis of location in Firestore?

Question

I want to fetch shops on the basis of user location in Firestore.

Firestore structure:

shopCollection
        shopDoc1
            city:"city",
            address:"xyz",
               lat:35,
               long:25
        shopDoc2....

I want to retrieve all the shops that are near to user with distance. How can i do this?

There is no way to simply query the Firestore database and get all shops that are nearby. To solve this, you need to use a library and for that I recommend you to use GeoFirestore for Android:

GeoFirestore is an open-source library for Android that allows you to store and query a set of documents based on their geographic location.

I just video on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mx1mMdHBi5Q it would not work in android ? – user7411343 Jan 22 '19 at 10:40
As I see, is not for Android. Never tested something like that but as I'm aware of, the above library can help you solve this problem. – Alex Mamo Jan 22 '19 at 10:44
people use this library in production? – user7411343 Jan 22 '19 at 11:01
I'm not sure about it. I just played with it but I saw many question here on SOF related to this topic. I also know that it's not a library made by Google/Firebase team but I think you should give it a try. – Alex Mamo Jan 22 '19 at 11:20
