Xamarin forms webview help needed

Development Software Development

I'm trying to enable a webview within a xamarin forms app to get the current GPS coordinates of an android device. Currently the webview/website will return the GPS coordinates when opened in a chrome browser on the phone or a laptop, however within the app will not. Trying to get this working as simply as possible and to expand on it after.

Code so far: XAML page:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
             x:Class="UITrial.Page2"
             BackgroundColor = "#f0f0ea">
    <Label Text="{Binding MainText}" VerticalOptions="Center" HorizontalOptions="Center" />

  <WebView Source="https://danu6.it.nuigalway.ie/OliverInternetProgramming/project/Loginproject.html" />

</ContentPage>

HTML PAGE:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<p>Click the button to get your coordinates.</p>

<button onclick="getLocation()">Try It</button>

<p id="demo"></p>

<script>
var x = document.getElementById("demo");

function getLocation() {
    if (navigator.geolocation) {
        navigator.geolocation.watchPosition(showPosition);
    } else { 
        x.innerHTML = "Geolocation is not supported by this browser.";}
    }

function showPosition(position) {
    x.innerHTML="Latitude: " + position.coords.latitude + 
    "<br>Longitude: " + position.coords.longitude;
}
</script>

</body>
</html>

Is location services blocked?
And do you "ask for the promission"?
- I think you have change the project file or config for asking for that permission.

Hi, yeah have configured the permissions within the android manifest to allow for fine and coarse location as well as access to the internet.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:installLocation="auto">
	<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="15" />
	<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
	<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
	<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION" />
	<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
	<application android:label="UITrial.Droid"></application>
</manifest>
