I am trying to get current location here like this

    class _MapActivityState extends State<MapActivity> {

      Position currentLocation;

      @override
      void initState() {
        // TODO: implement initState
        super.initState();
       getUserLocation();
      }
        @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Container(
      child: MapboxMap(
        initialCameraPosition: CameraPosition(target: _center, zoom: 15),
        onMapCreated: _onMapCreated,
        myLocationEnabled: true,
      ),
    );
  }
      Future<Position> locateUser() async {
        return Geolocator()
            .getCurrentPosition(desiredAccuracy: LocationAccuracy.high);
      }

      getUserLocation() async {
        currentLocation = await locateUser();
        print(currentLocation);
      }
    }

Any help is appreciated

Open LastKnownLocationUsingLocationServicesTask file, delete the import statement which is causing this error, again import it using option + enter, I have seen this issue while using geolocator.

Similarly, open LocationUpdatesUsingLocationServicesTask file and delete import (with errors) and reimport it.

where is this file? – primo Apr 11 '19 at 10:00
If you are using Android studio, you can use shortcut `cmd + shift + o` and type the file name. – CopsOnRoad Apr 11 '19 at 10:01
You need top open this file in Android studio module, you are currently opening it in flutter module. See [how to open it in android module](https://stackoverflow.com/a/55548771/6618622). – CopsOnRoad Apr 11 '19 at 10:06
When you open `build.gradle` file it ask you to open this for editing in Android studio, when you do that, it will open up in a new window where you can open `LastKnownLocationUsingLocationServicesTask` using shortcut and delete imports. – CopsOnRoad Apr 11 '19 at 10:24
I'm sorry I never got a chance to use maps, so I can't help you with that. Seems like I know you because I have answered your question yesterday? Glad to see you accepting answers. – CopsOnRoad Apr 11 '19 at 10:45
