How to get user location using unity? - unity3d

Question

I am tried to obtaining IP address using unity but I am unable to find it anywhere. If it is founded
then nothing seems to be worked.
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/LocationService.Start.html
This is Unity official code which is not working at my end .It shows nothing .Similarly all types of codes not worked up.

Answer 1

Do you want to know IP address or Location? I don't know how can you get the user's IP address but there is a straightforward method for finding the user's location using GPS. If you want to do this, this youtube video will be useful for you ^^
Edit:
You can try this code that I found on this link. (Also check the linkie for more details)
public void GetUserLocation()
{
if( !Input.location.isEnabledByUser ) //FIRST IM CHACKING FOR PERMISSION IF "true" IT MEANS USER GAVED PERMISSION FOR USING LOCATION INFORMATION
{
statusTxt.text = "No Permission";
Permission.RequestUserPermission(Permission.FineLocation);
}
else
{
statusTxt.text = "Ok Permission";
StartCoroutine("GetLatLonUsingGPS");
}
}
IEnumerator GetLatLonUsingGPS()
{
Input.location.Start();
int maxWait = 5;
while( Input.location.status == LocationServiceStatus.Initializing && maxWait > 0 )
{
yield return new WaitForSeconds(1);
maxWait--;
}
if( maxWait < 1 )
{
statusTxt.text = "Failed To Iniyilize in 10 seconds";
yield break;
}
if( Input.location.status == LocationServiceStatus.Failed )
{
statusTxt.text = "Failed To Initialize";
yield break;
}
else
{
statusTxt.text ="waiting before getting lat and lon";
// yield return new WaitForSeconds(5);
// Access granted and location value could be retrieve
double longitude = Input.location.lastData.longitude;
double latitude = Input.location.lastData.latitude;
AddLocation(latitude, longitude);
statusTxt.text="" + Input.location.status + " lat:"+latitude+" long:"+longitude;
}
//Stop retrieving location
Input.location.Stop();
StopCoroutine("Start");
}
EDIT - 2:
For some reason, This code is not working and statusTxt is stuck on the "Failed To Iniyilize in 10 seconds" text. However, this problem is easy to solve! Just make it more straightforward! Remove all the if's in GetLatLonUsingGPS() method. My code was like that:
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Android;
using UnityEngine.UI;
public class GetLocations : MonoBehaviour
{
public Text statusTxt;
void Update()
{
GetUserLocation();
}
public void GetUserLocation()
{
if (!Input.location.isEnabledByUser) //FIRST IM CHACKING FOR PERMISSION IF "true" IT MEANS USER GAVED PERMISSION FOR USING LOCATION INFORMATION
{
statusTxt.text = "No Permission";
Permission.RequestUserPermission(Permission.FineLocation);
}
else
{
statusTxt.text = "Permission Granted";
StartCoroutine(GetLatLonUsingGPS());
}
}
IEnumerator GetLatLonUsingGPS()
{
Input.location.Start();
int maxWait = 5;
while (Input.location.status == LocationServiceStatus.Initializing && maxWait > 0)
{
yield return new WaitForSeconds(1);
maxWait--;
}
statusTxt.text = "waiting before getting lat and lon";
// Access granted and location value could be retrieve
double longitude = Input.location.lastData.longitude;
double latitude = Input.location.lastData.latitude;
//AddLocation(latitude, longitude);
statusTxt.text = "" + Input.location.status + " lat:" + latitude + " long:" + longitude;
//Stop retrieving location
Input.location.Stop();
StopCoroutine("Start");
}
}
There is only one problem in this code; don't call the GetUserLocation() method on the Update() method without any control bool or timer. Otherwise, StatusTxt will continuously change. For example, you can call it every 5 seconds.
