Hi,
The attached lib is a wrapper for this github project.
The Unwired Labs' LocationAPI locates all sorts of devices based on cell towers, WiFi APs and IP addresses, anywhere in the world. LocationAPI works both indoors & outdoors, when GPS isn't available or preferred (high battery drain).
The new Android library is a drop-in replacement to Google Play's Geolocation services and offers the following benefits:

The new Android library is a drop-in replacement to Google Play's Geolocation services and offers the following benefits:
- Offline location - now you can ask for the device's location and get a location in milliseconds even if the device has no or slow internet access.
- Higher accuracy - Unwired's Geolocation triangulation & trilateration algorithms are far superior to Google's 'nearest-cell' based locations. This means no more locations in the sea and also, locations that are much closer to the device's real location.
- One-time permission request - Unlike the Play Service library, the Unwired library works even when location is off, so your app can locate during events / emergencies, improving User Experience while ensuring that your location logic does not break. Note that you must ensure the end user is aware of this feature and consents to its usage.
- <coming-soon> HTTP callbacks to your server - We can send the device's location along with some custom tags / data to your server straight from the library or our servers with end-to-end encryption. This saves you the trouble of having to build & maintain secure device <> server communications.
- <coming-soon> Offline street addresses, Location updates, Geofencing, Context-data model
