var React = require('react-native');

// For registering the Callback-Listener
var { DeviceEventEmitter } = require('react-native');

var RNALocation = require('react-native-android-location');

var {
  AppRegistry,
  StyleSheet,
  Text,
  View,
} = React;

var RNALocation = React.createClass({
  // Create and Reset initial State Longitude (lng) and Latitude (lat)	
  getInitialState: function() { return { lng: 0.0, lat: 0.0}; },

  componentDidMount: function() {
  	  // Register Listener Callback !Important!
      DeviceEventEmitter.addListener('updateLocation', function(e: Event) {
          this.setState({lng: e.Longitude, lat: e.Latitude });
      }.bind(this));
      // Initialize RNALocation
      RNALocation.getLocation();
  },

  render() {
    return (
      <View style={styles.container}>

          Lng: {this.state.lng} Lat: {this.state.lat}
        </Text>
      </View>
