Getting started example of using 51Degrees geo-location alongside 51Degrees device detection.This example is available in full on GitHub.
Required Maven Dependencies:
- com.51degrees.geo-location
 - com.51degrees.device-detection
 
- Build new cloud-based geo-location, and device detection engines, along with the cloud request engine on which they rely. CloudRequestEngine cloudRequestEngine =new CloudRequestEngineBuilder(loggerFactory, httpClient).setResourceKey(resourceKey).build();AspectEngine deviceDetectionEngine =new DeviceDetectionCloudEngineBuilder(loggerFactory, httpClient, cloudRequestEngine).build();AspectEngine locationEngine =new GeoLocationCloudEngineBuilder(loggerFactory, cloudRequestEngine).build(Enums.GeoLocationProvider.FiftyOneDegrees);
 - Build a new Pipeline containing the engines which were just created. Pipeline pipeline = new PipelineBuilder(loggerFactory).addFlowElement(cloudRequestEngine).addFlowElement(deviceDetectionEngine).addFlowElement(locationEngine).build();
 
Note that while the cloud request engine must be run before the others, the device detection and geo-location engines can be run in parallel.
Pipeline pipeline = new PipelineBuilder(loggerFactory)
    .addFlowElement(cloudRequestEngine)
    .addFlowElementsParallel(new FlowElement[]{deviceDetectionEngine, locationEngine})
    .build();
- Create a new FlowData instance ready to be populated with evidence for the Pipeline. FlowData data = pipeline.createFlowData();
 - Process a longitude, latitude and User-Agent to retrieve the values associated with with the location and device for the selected properties. data.addEvidence(EVIDENCE_HEADER_USERAGENT_KEY, userAgent).addEvidence(EVIDENCE_GEO_LAT_PARAM_KEY, "51.458048").addEvidence(EVIDENCE_GEO_LON_PARAM_KEY, "-0.9822207999999999").process();
 - Extract the value of a property as a string from the results. AspectPropertyValue<Boolean> isMobile = data.get(Device.class).getIsMobile();AspectPropertyValue<String> country = data.get(GeoData.class).getCountry();
