I found this library: https://github.com/google/libphonenumber/, but I'm not sure whether we can use this to have such detailed information.

Rexadev commented 9 months ago

Let us start with country @Aga-C

rsb-23 commented 9 months ago

We can display country name using country codes stored as dictionary / HashMap.

naveensingh commented 9 months ago

Yes, anything beyond the country might be hard to do without increasing the app size. Last I checked libphonenumber's metadata was around 15-20MB and even then we won't have proper info for each number.

If app size is a concern, there could be a companion app or separate ones, one with and one without this and perhaps other advanced features, essentially a full and lite version. Whenever I get a call from an unknown number, I always have to look it up to see who it is or, at least, where it is, and it would be nice to have this kind of info displayed automatically.

Does somebody knows how many different locations that library actually has? so we could know if its worth it or not? we dont have to have 100% coverage to be adding this library worth it
