Android Question Get your current position : geo lat,long and address

[imbault]

Hi,

After trying FusedLocationProvider, GPS position (that could be long).
Does anyone has a solution to get your current Position lat, long and address, easily???

There are ways using reverse geocoding with google API after having got your GPS position, but not quickly enought...

Many thanks in advance.

It depends on what you want. With Wifi you could get an approximate position quite quickly (seconds). GPS will take longer for an initial fix (minutes) and will only work well outdoors.

Thanks Mark,

In fact, FusedLocationProvider works perfectly as returns a X Y, using Cell or GPS.

So I'm just looking for a Reverve Geocoding easy lib. Else, I'll use Google API

Thanks

Have a look at Warwound's library here.
