Looks like we’re coding the same application 😉 Here is my current implementation. I’m still in the beta testing phase of my GPS uploader app, so there might be many possible improvements. but it seems to work pretty well so far. /** * try to get the ‘best’ location selected from all providers */ private … Read more
You would do something like that using Google API. Please note you must include the google maps library for this to work. Google geocoder returns a lot of address components so you must make an educated guess as to which one will have the city. “administrative_area_level_1” is usually what you are looking for but sometimes … Read more
You can use my service, http://ipinfo.io, for this. It will give you the client IP, hostname, geolocation information (city, region, country, area code, zip code etc) and network owner. Here’s a simple example that logs the city and country: $.get(“https://ipinfo.io”, function(response) { console.log(response.city, response.country); }, “jsonp”); Here’s a more detailed JSFiddle example that also prints … Read more
JavaScript must be enabled in the WebView, using WebSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true); The app needs permission ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION The WebView must use a custom WebChromeClient which implements WebChromeClient.onGeolocationPermissionsShowPrompt(). This method is called by the WebView to obtain permission to disclose the user’s location to JavaScript. (In the case of the browser, we show a prompt to the user.) The … Read more
/** * Get ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code for this device (or null if not available) * @param context Context reference to get the TelephonyManager instance from * @return country code or null */ public static String getUserCountry(Context context) { try { final TelephonyManager tm = (TelephonyManager) context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE); final String simCountry = tm.getSimCountryIso(); if (simCountry … Read more
Use the LocationManager. LocationManager lm = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE); Location location = lm.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER); double longitude = location.getLongitude(); double latitude = location.getLatitude(); The call to getLastKnownLocation() doesn’t block – which means it will return null if no position is currently available – so you probably want to have a look at passing a LocationListener to the requestLocationUpdates() method … Read more
Try this simple PHP function. <?php function ip_info($ip = NULL, $purpose = “location”, $deep_detect = TRUE) { $output = NULL; if (filter_var($ip, FILTER_VALIDATE_IP) === FALSE) { $ip = $_SERVER[“REMOTE_ADDR”]; if ($deep_detect) { if (filter_var(@$_SERVER[‘HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR’], FILTER_VALIDATE_IP)) $ip = $_SERVER[‘HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR’]; if (filter_var(@$_SERVER[‘HTTP_CLIENT_IP’], FILTER_VALIDATE_IP)) $ip = $_SERVER[‘HTTP_CLIENT_IP’]; } } $purpose = str_replace(array(“name”, “\n”, “\t”, ” “, “-“, “_”), … Read more
First you need to define a LocationListener to handle location changes. int LOCATION_REFRESH_TIME = 15000; // 15 seconds to update int LOCATION_REFRESH_DISTANCE = 500; // 500 meters to update …. private final LocationListener mLocationListener = new LocationListener() { @Override public void onLocationChanged(final Location location) { //your code here } }; Then get the LocationManager and … Read more
I have been having exactly the same problem, and finding almost no information online about it. Nothing at all in the books. Finally I found this sober query on stackoverflow and (ha!) it was the final impetus I needed to set up an account here. And I have a partial answer, but alas not a … Read more
You could download a free GeoIP database and lookup the IP address locally, or you could use a third party service and perform a remote lookup. This is the simpler option, as it requires no setup, but it does introduce additional latency. One third party service you could use is mine, http://ipinfo.io. They provide hostname, … Read more
