Automatically add Commons Geocoding Template from the GPS data stored in image about apps-android-commons

Is this already in the app? I uploaded this image, and a bot had to read out the coordinates:

Hi @tobias47n9e , this feature has been scheduled for implementation by October, as per the timeline. Sorry for the wait! :)

[tobias47n9e]

@misaochan Thanks. Will be looking forward to this.

Just confirming that the {{Location|lat|long}} template described at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Geocoding will be appropriate for this?

[tobias47n9e]

I think so. Are there any other parameters you will set in the template?

[misaochan]

No, I don't think so. Do you think any other parameters will be necessary?

[tobias47n9e]

Just checked and I don't think we need to add precision. Does the location API give the standard deviation of the current position measurement? In a canyon with few visible GPS satellites the measurement can be off by 100s of km.

As far as I know, the Android location API doesn't. Well, not exactly, but there is http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3052517/how-is-location-accuracy-measured-in-android

Picture that I uploaded to test my PR branch: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Punnet_Strawberry_Farm.jpg

The template seems to work, I think.

[misaochan]

This has been released - please let me know if it works properly for you. It seems to work for my pictures.

[tobias47n9e]

It works!

Great! :) @nicolas-raoul , do you think this is okay to close?

[nicolas-raoul]

Great!
