Getting Location in Mobile UI

[greg54]

Is there a way to get a users location when using the browser based mobile UI?

I put the "current_location" attribute on a field and was able to get the users location when using the actual Android SN Mobile app but this attribute does not affect the field when viewing in the browser mobile UI. Is there any way to get the users location when using the mobile browser?

Thanks!

I figured this out for anybody who is interested in the solution. I used HTML5's built in geolocation capability with an onLoad Client Script.

if (navigator.geolocation) {
   navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(UserLocation);
} else {
   alert('Geolocation is not supported by this browser');
}

// Callback function for asynchronous call to HTML5 geolocation
function UserLocation(position) {
   var latitude = position.coords.latitude;
   var longitude = position.coords.longitude;
   alert(latitude + ',' + longitude);
}

Thank you for posting your solution.   This is very helpful for those of us who need to determine a user's location.
