Grabbing the GPS provider #14

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
final LocationInfo locationInfo = (LocationInfo) 
intent.getSerializableExtra(LocationLibraryConstants.LOCATION_BROADCAST_EXTRA_LO
CATIONINFO);

locationInfo.lastProvider will always return "network" even if GPS is on.

You can call LocationLibrary.useFineAccuracyForRequests(true) to force fine 
accuracy where available. Note that in the next update the provider will 
usually be "fused", since it's using Google Play Location where available, and 
even though it requests fine accuracy if you set that flag, I think it will 
always say "fused" anyway.
