Location Based Services in Android
3

• Android provides location framework for location
  based services. This framework provides a
  location API that comprises of particular classes
  and interface.
• These are the core components that permit
  developers to develop location based apps for the
  Android devices.
• The location API has little functionality like
  fused location provider which abstracts away the
  underlying location providers, geofencing that
  lets your application setup geographic boundaries
  around specific locations and then receive
  notifications when the user enters or leaves
  those areas, finally activity recognition as what
  exactly a user is doing.
• The classes and Interfaces of Location Based
  Services are given below
• LocationManager Through LocationManager you can
  get access to the location service of the system.
• LocationListener Through LocationListener you
  can receive notification from location manager.
  This interface behaves like a listener.
• Location Through this class you can represent
  the geographic location returned at a particular
  time.

• In the first step the LocationManager should be
  created, that will enable the apps to have access
  to the location services in Android.
• A reference to this system service can be
  obtained by calling getSystemService () method.
• LocationManager (LocationManager)getSystemServic
  e(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE)
• It is important to identify the location provider
  so that it can be used to recover location
  details.
• In Android location data can be obtained from
  location providers.
• Android supports GPS and Network providers.
• GPS provides location data with highest accuracy
  and updates are obtained through the use of
  satellites.

• Network Provider uses Wi-Fi hotspots and cell to
  identify a location.  The provider finds out the
  location by querying the Google location server.
• It uses the IDs of the Wi-Fi hotspots and cell
  towers.
• The location accuracy is between 100-1000 m.
• The location accuracy highly depends on the
  number of Wi-Fi hotspots and cell towers
  available in the area.
• Using the below mentioned codes it will be easy
  to check the availability of the providers,
• isGpsEnabled mLocManager.isProviderEnabled(Locat
  ionManager.GPS_PROVIDER)
• isNetworkEnabled mLocManager.isProviderEnabled(L
  ocationManager.NETWORK_PRPVIDER)
• The final step is to register location listener
  with the location manager.
• The registration can be done by calling the
  format requestLocationUpdates (String provider,
  long minTime, float minDistance, LocationListener
  listener).

• The parameters passed to this method
• Provider You can either register with GPS or
  Network Provider
• MinTime Minimum time of interval between
  location updates, in miliseconds.
• MinDistance Minimum distance between location
  updates, in meters.
• Listener onLocationChanged (Location) method
  will be called for each location update.
• When you develop mobile apps for Android devices
  it gives multiple opportunities for context based
  information than just mere traditional web apps.
• There is an input for context sensitive
  information that is the current location of the
  users.
• Google's Location API's provides much superior
  ways for working with location data.
• When you are working with location data mobile
  apps can provide new dimension to the user
  experience.
