The source code for that is a good +example of how to use this library to implement a complex feature in a real +application: + +https://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/third_party/libaddressinput/ +https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/third_party/libaddressinput/ + +Video: [Easy International Checkout with Chrome](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljYeHwGgzQk) + +## Java + +The Java library of _libaddressinput_ is written for use in +[Android](https://developer.android.com/) and includes an Android UI address +input widget ready for use, but only the UI parts are tied to Android (all the +non-UI unit tests can be readily run in Java SE, `ant junit`) and the rest of +the library could easily be adapted to run in any Java environment. + +## Mailing List + +Using and developing libaddressinput is discussed on this mailing list: + +https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/libaddressinput-discuss |
