I only see what the location data is for the Thunkable Live app ---

Ok, can you at least tell me IF Thunkable offers working location services in the APK at all? Also, HOW do I go about enabling location services in my Thunkable app? Am I doing it wrong? ---

Add the Location component to the project and everything should work if you enable access to location detection in the installed app ---

Yes. I don’t understand why you decided to launch geolocation via WebViewer. Did you not know about the Location Sensor component, or are there any other reasons? ---

Are you trying to tell me that the location component doesn’t work in the Android app? ---

> [@actech](#): > > Yes. I don’t understand why you decided to launch geolocation via WebViewer. Did you not know about the Location Sensor component, or are there any other reasons? My entire app is a webviewer app. It is a WEBSITE. Not built with blocks. It’s a website, and parts of it requires geolocation. ---

Clear. Is your app already published on Google Play? ---

Yes. It works in Android Browser, but NOT in the android app. ---

Yes, but in the version I have released on Google play, I have removed the Store Locator feature (which needs working geolocation), because I haven’t been able to get it working. ---

I made an apk for such blocks and it works on Android 9. When I open the app, are asked to enable geolocation. ![изображение](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/c/2/c2d28a38b8901f64601d77f02b14224178b7b8b5.png) ---

See, I don’t know anything about blocks, because I never thought I’d need them, since my app is a webviewer app. I would just like to be told exactly what steps to take to get my webviewer app to detect location when installed on android. That’s all I’m asking. When I was setting up the Webviewer, all I did was drag the Location Sensor into the Invisible Components box. Is there anything else I need to do? Alternatively, can you please get into my Thunkable X app and put the location detection blocks in for me? PLEASE? ---

@actech Please don’t disappear. I’ve been struggling with this for a while, but I feel like we’re close to solving this. Can you please repeat this in my app for me? I don’t know how to do it: ![изображение](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/c/2/c2d28a38b8901f64601d77f02b14224178b7b8b5.png) ---

@actech Thank you! I see a “Label” in the middle of the screen. I hope it’s not going to show in my app? I just want the location coordinates to be available throughout the app when it loads, preferably as a javascript variable that I can then access in my code? ---
