I am producing a PC based version of a B4A Android mobile app and I want to include the fixed network based location (LAT.LON) for compatibility. In the Android app I use RSfluffylocation and that works great but I haven't found an equivalent for B4J [if there is one then GREAT please let me know].
SO instead I started looking at using ipinfo web service which is simple and seems to provide reasonably accurate information BUT I am stuck as to how to implement this using any version of the HTTPutils libraries. {my client will not allow the use of Google services btw which would have been easier}
I know the HTML & Java code:
returns:
and "loc": "14.5832,121.0410" is EXACTLY what I want to retrieve.
However I have looked through all the examples and I cannot see how I build the java script and send it to the server with a GET request and then extract the data from the return packet.
I would truly appreciate if someone could put me out of my misery and either point me at an example or a library that would help - this is the only thing I am struggling with in over 3000 lines of code - everything else transferred across simply
