Android Question Get Country

[tufanv]

Hello,

I found a post that helps us get the language of the device https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/country-identification.37590/#post-221849

But this only gets the language. For example i am in Turkey but using the English Language on my phone so this gives me US. Is it possible to get from the sim card maybe or from other place to get the TR ?

Thanks

Using gps in an finance app will probably be not good.

You could use the GPS to determine whether you are in Turkey or not.
However, the default language of the device will probably overrule almost everything. You would need to write specific code to force your app to behave as if it was set to Turkey.

You can use FusedLocationProvider to get the approximate location.

You can also use IP2Country service.

should i use
GetLastKnownLocation ?

if yes , how will it give the location ? if it is as lat and lon it will be hard to use it ?

I saw a library that consists a telephony but couldn't be sure because I couldnt find that method at that library.

You'll have to look at android developer class to adapt Erel's code

Something like this, I am not sure is what are you looking for ?

    Dim sim As SimCard
    sim.Initialize
    Dim Country As String
    Country=sim.GetNetworkCountryIso
    If Country="gb"  Then  ToastMessageShow("Put this message in English you are probably  in UK, by sure speak English",True)
    If Country="ve"  Then  ToastMessageShow("Coloca este mensaje en Español si eres Venzolano.",True)

Yes this is what i need. But which lib i have to use with this as there is nothing to dim for simcard.
