API

The app offers Intent-based API for 3rd party apps. You can use precise location from the app in your app.

How to integrate it

Start new activity using this code:

try
{
	Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DEFAULT, Uri.parse("cz.destil.gpsaveraging.AVERAGED_LOCATION"));
	startActivityForResult(intent, 0);
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
	//GPS Averaging is not installed, you can redirect user to Play like this:
	Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.destil.gpsaveraging"));
	startActivity(intent);
}

In your activity override function onActivityResult for receiving data:

public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent) {
	if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
		Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();
		double latitude = bundle.getDouble("latitude"); //decimal averaged latitude in WGS84 format
		double longitude = bundle.getDouble("longitude"); //decimal averaged longitude in WGS84 format
		double altitude = bundle.getDouble("altitude"); //averaged altitude in meters
		double accuracy = bundle.getDouble("accuracy"); //final accuracy in meters
		String name = bundle.getString("name"); //name of the waypoint
		//do whatever you need with this information
	}
	else
	{
		//handle cancel
	}
}
