Determining the location on Android

AppMetrica can determine the location of a device. Location accuracy depends on the configuration that the library uses for initialization:

How to enable location determinationHow to enable location determination

To initialize a library with locationTracking enabled, pass true to the withLocationTracking(boolean enabled) method when creating an extended library configuration:

// Creating an extended library configuration.
        AppMetricaConfig config = AppMetricaConfig.newConfigBuilder(API_key)
        // Enabling the data sending about the device location.
        .withLocationTracking(true)
        .build();
        // Initializing the AppMetrica SDK.
        AppMetrica.activate(getApplicationContext(), config);

To enable locationTracking after initializing the library, use the AppMetrica.setLocationTracking(boolean enabled) method:

AppMetrica.setLocationTracking(true);

To determine the location more precisely, add to the AndroidManifest.xml file one of the following permissions:

• android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION — For approximate determination.
• android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION — For accurate determination.

For example:

<manifest>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
    <application>...</application>
</manifest>
