Get GPS location even GPS turn off with XAMARIN

Question

I use XAMARIN to Android.

How can I get GPS location even GPS is turn off?

Answer 1

You can get the approximate location by getting ip.

Here is the interface code:

public interface IDeviceOrientationService
{
    DeviceOrientation GetOrientation();
}

Here is the code implemented in Android:

[assembly: Dependency(typeof(IPAddressManager))]
namespace App9.Droid
{
    class IPAddressManager: IIPAddressManager
    {
        public string GetIPAddress()
        {
            IPAddress[] adresses = Dns.GetHostAddresses(Dns.GetHostName());
            if (adresses != null && adresses[0] != null)
            {
                return adresses[0].ToString();
            }
            else
            {
            return null;
            }
        }
    }
}

Here is the calling code:

string myAddress = DependencyService.Get<IIPAddressManager>().GetIPAddress();
