Capture GPS Location, latitude and longitude, from the Android device, and make it available to our Jetpack Compose Android application. To do this, I create a subclass of LiveData, called LocationLiveData. I create a new ApplicationViewModel to intereact with this LocationLiveData class. I update Koin dependencies so that this new ApplicationViewModel will be available to my Activity. Then, I observeAsState() on the live data, and create a Composable function that will show the current GPS location. I update an existing data class with these details, and then store the location data in Firebase Firestore Database.
