LocationClient class not found on google play services rev 22

Question

I just updated google play services to rev 22 and the `LocationClient` class appears to be missing. What is going on?

Accepted Answer

Building on what @CommnsWare said, here are steps to migrate to Fused api.

Step 1: Get an instance of `GoogleApiClient` instead of `LocationClient`.

The `ConnectionCallback` (mConnectionCallbacks, mOnConnectionFailedListener in example below) needs slight modification but that should be trivial.

```
googleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
        .addApi(LocationServices.API)
        .addConnectionCallbacks(mConnectionCallbacks)
        .addOnConnectionFailedListener(mOnConnectionFailedListener)
        .build();
```

Step 2: Update connect and disconnect calls.

Replace the `locationClient.connect()` with `googleApiClient.connect()` and `locationClient.disconnect()` with `googleApiClient.disconnect()`.

Step 3: Use LocationServices.FusedLocationApi to send your requests. e.g.

```
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation(googleApiClient)
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(googleApiClient, request, mLocationListener);
```

Hope this helps!
