I know that by using getPlaceTypes()
, I can easily get the type of a place via Google Place API. But does it always give the accurate type?
Suppose I want to make an app that will use an intent service to always check my location type; so if I specify my location type to restaurant, it will give a notification as I enter into a restaurant (any restaurant).
I could use geofencing to do this for individual locations; but I want to avoid having to do this. Rather I want to select a location type (such as restaurant, airport, atm, etc) so that any location matching the type will give a notification when I enter.
Is this possible? If so, how?
I hope, I've made my question clear. Thanks in advance.
