Retreive aircraft location

I cloned the dji-msdk project on android studio, and I would like to be able to retrieve the position of the drone when the application is launched and observe it throughout the execution of the app. I can't seem to find the function that retrieves the position so I can call it. In the doc it is mentioned that it is necessary to use the methods of the DJIFlightController class (getAircraftLocation()) but I do not have access to it in the project and yet I cloned the whole project

    Are you using the iOS MSDK? You can run our sample. To get the aircraft location, you can use DJIFlightController.delegate and find the flightController:didUpdateState. Inside the DJIFlightControllerState, you can get the aircraftLocation. The same principle applies to the Android MSDK.

    For Android, you can just call flightController.setStateCallback to register a callback for flightControllerState, it will return in 10Hz.

    Thanks for your answer, but I still can't find the DJIFlightControllerState class in the project.

    There are many demos using it. You can check the waypointMissionOperatorView.java file.

    I thought you are using MSDK v4, from the screenshot I have figured out you are using v5. Please read this article, to know how to get the aircraft location, https://sdk-forum.dji.net/hc/en-us/articles/9849286039193-Chapter-15-Flight-controller
