I don't mind using the url page plugin, however, it doesn't seem to pull the users location when using this plugin so Yelp doesn't update with the correct information displayed based on the current location of the device. I've tried enabling GPS on start-up of the app and that didn't do anything either. Does anyone have any insight to share on how to integrate Yelp with BT. I simply want to give my users a way to look up nearby restaurants, bars, etc within my app based off the current location of the device or based off the location the user inputs... Thanks for your help... Title Comments I am looking to integrate yelp into my BT android app and can't seem to find any documentation on how to do this.

SmugWimp Smugger than thou... Posts: 6316 Reg: Nov 07, 2012 Tamuning, GU 81,410	07/15/14 07:11 AM (9 years ago) What is the format for the URL? Are their any 'query variables' that it is looking for? You can 'pass' the current location coordinates to a URL by using the 'merge fields' for latitude and longitude. For example, -http://www.yelp.com/somequery.php?latitude=[deviceLatitude]&longitude=[deviceLongitude] or whatever format they prefer...
