Location and Fake Location Detector

Loc8 is a android location manager library to get accurate location simply.

This libray use Android LocationManager and very cool and optimized Google play service location provider api FusedLocationProvider uses a mix of hardware to determine location based on the context of the request, meaning it's optimized transparently to you. It will also cache captured locations between applications to avoid unnecessary work to determine location info. So if a user has a variety of location-aware apps, they potentially avoid taxing the device (and waiting) for a location capture as one may have already been cached.

By using Loc8 you can get

• Get accurate current location.
• Check is locktion is Mocked.
• Check whether the application has required permission or not
• Check whether GPS Provider is enabled or not
• Check whether Network Provider is enabled or not
• if location not available you can get LastKnown location
