LocationManager

public class LocationManager
extends Object

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.location.LocationManager


This class provides access to the system location services. These services allow applications to obtain periodic updates of the device's geographical location, or to be notified when the device enters the proximity of a given geographical location.

Unless noted, all Location API methods require the Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION or Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permissions. If your application only has the coarse permission then it will not have access to fine location providers. Other providers will still return location results, but the exact location will be obfuscated to a coarse level of accuracy.
Requires the PackageManager#FEATURE_LOCATION feature which can be detected using PackageManager.hasSystemFeature(String).

Requires Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION

Parameters
executor Executor: the Executor that the listener runs on. This value cannot be null. Callback and listener events are dispatched through this Executor, providing an easy way to control which thread is used. To dispatch events through the main thread of your application, you can use Context.getMainExecutor(). To dispatch events through a shared thread pool, you can use AsyncTask#THREAD_POOL_EXECUTOR.

                float radius, 
                long expiration, 
                PendingIntent intent)

Set a proximity alert for the location given by the position (latitude, longitude) and the given radius.

When the device detects that it has entered or exited the area surrounding the location, the given PendingIntent will be used to create an Intent to be fired.

The fired Intent will have a boolean extra added with key KEY_PROXIMITY_ENTERING. If the value is true, the device is entering the proximity region; if false, it is exiting.

Due to the approximate nature of position estimation, if the device passes through the given area briefly, it is possible that no Intent will be fired. Similarly, an Intent could be fired if the device passes very close to the given area but does not actually enter it.

After the number of milliseconds given by the expiration parameter, the location manager will delete this proximity alert and no longer monitor it. A value of -1 indicates that there should be no expiration time.

Internally, this method uses both NETWORK_PROVIDER and GPS_PROVIDER.

Before API version 17, this method could be used with Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION or Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION. From API version 17 and onwards, this method requires Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission.
Requires Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION or Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION

Parameters
latitude double: the latitude of the central point of the alert region

longitude double: the longitude of the central point of the alert region

radius float: the radius of the central point of the alert region, in meters

expiration long: time for this proximity alert, in milliseconds, or -1 to indicate no expiration

intent PendingIntent: a PendingIntent that will be used to generate an Intent to fire when entry to or exit from the alert region is detected This value cannot be null.

Throws
SecurityException if Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission is not present

addTestProvider

Equivalent to calling setTestProviderEnabled(java.lang.String, boolean) to disable a test provider.

Parameters
provider String: This value cannot be null.

clearTestProviderLocation

public void clearTestProviderLocation (String provider)

This method is deprecated.
This method has always been a no-op, and may be removed in the future.

Does nothing.

Parameters
provider String: This value cannot be null.

clearTestProviderStatus

public void clearTestProviderStatus (String provider)

This method is deprecated.
This method has no effect.

This method has no effect as provider status has been deprecated and is no longer supported.

Parameters
provider String: This value cannot be null.

getAllProviders

public List<String> getAllProviders ()

Returns a list of the names of all known location providers. All providers are returned, including ones that are not permitted to be accessed by the calling activity or are currently disabled.

Returns
List<String> list of provider names This value cannot be null.

getBestProvider

public String getBestProvider (Criteria criteria, 
                boolean enabledOnly)

Returns the name of the provider that best meets the given criteria. Only providers that are permitted to be accessed by the caller will be returned. If several providers meet the criteria, the one with the best accuracy is returned. If no provider meets the criteria, the criteria are loosened in the following order:

  • power requirement
  • accuracy
  • bearing
  • speed
  • altitude

Note that the requirement on monetary cost is not removed in this process.

Parameters
criteria Criteria: the criteria that need to be matched This value cannot be null.

enabledOnly boolean: if true then only enabled providers are included

Returns
String name of the provider that best matches the criteria, or null if none match

Throws
IllegalArgumentException if criteria is null

getCurrentLocation

public void getCurrentLocation (String provider, 
                CancellationSignal cancellationSignal, 
                Executor executor, 
                Consumer<Location> consumer)

Asynchronously returns a single current location fix. This may activate sensors in order to compute a new location, unlike getLastKnownLocation(java.lang.String), which will only return a cached fix if available. The given callback will be invoked once and only once, either with a valid location fix or with a null location fix if the provider was unable to generate a valid location.

A client may supply an optional CancellationSignal. If this is used to cancel the operation, no callback should be expected after the cancellation.

This method may return locations from the very recent past (on the order of several seconds), but will never return older locations (for example, several minutes old or older). Clients may rely upon the guarantee that if this method returns a location, it will represent the best estimation of the location of the device in the present moment.

Clients calling this method from the background may notice that the method fails to determine a valid location fix more often than while in the foreground. Background applications may be throttled in their location accesses to some degree.
Requires Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION or Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION

Parameters
provider String: a provider listed by getAllProviders() This value cannot be null.

cancellationSignal CancellationSignal: an optional signal that allows for cancelling this call This value may be null.

executor Executor: the callback will take place on this Executor This value cannot be null. Callback and listener events are dispatched through this Executor, providing an easy way to control which thread is used. To dispatch events through the main thread of your application, you can use Context.getMainExecutor(). To dispatch events through a shared thread pool, you can use AsyncTask#THREAD_POOL_EXECUTOR.

consumer Consumer: the callback invoked with either a Location or null This value cannot be null.

Throws
IllegalArgumentException if provider is null or doesn't exist
IllegalArgumentException if executor is null
IllegalArgumentException if consumer is null
SecurityException if no suitable permission is present

public GpsStatus getGpsStatus (GpsStatus status)

This method is deprecated.
GpsStatus APIs are deprecated, use GnssStatus APIs instead. No longer supported in apps targeting S and above.

Retrieves information about the current status of the GPS engine. This should only be called from within the GpsStatus.Listener#onGpsStatusChanged callback to ensure that the data is copied atomically. The caller may either pass in an existing GpsStatus object to be overwritten, or pass null to create a new GpsStatus object.
Requires Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION

Parameters
status GpsStatus: object containing GPS status details, or null. This value may be null.

Returns
GpsStatus status object containing updated GPS status.

getLastKnownLocation

public Location getLastKnownLocation (String provider)

Gets the last known location from the given provider, or null if there is no last known location. The returned location may be quite old in some circumstances, so the age of the location should always be checked.

This will never activate sensors to compute a new location, and will only ever return a cached location.

See also getCurrentLocation(java.lang.String, android.os.CancellationSignal, java.util.concurrent.Executor, java.util.function.Consumer) which will always attempt to return a current location, but will potentially use additional power in the course of the attempt as compared to this method.

requestLocationUpdates

public void requestLocationUpdates (String provider, 
                long minTimeMs, 
                float minDistanceM, 
                LocationListener listener)

Register for location updates from the given provider with the given arguments. LocationListener callbacks will take place on the given Looper or Executor. If a null Looper is supplied, the Looper of the calling thread will be used instead. Only one request can be registered for each unique listener, so any subsequent requests with the same listener will overwrite all associated arguments.

It may take a while to receive the first location update. If an immediate location is required, applications may use the getLastKnownLocation(java.lang.String) method.

The location update interval can be controlled using the minimum time parameter. The elapsed time between location updates will never be less than this parameter, although it may be more depending on location availability and other factors. Choosing a sensible value for the minimum time parameter is important to conserve battery life. Every location update requires power from a variety of sensors. Select a minimum time parameter as high as possible while still providing a reasonable user experience. If your application is not in the foreground and showing location to the user then your application should consider switching to the PASSIVE_PROVIDER instead.

The minimum distance parameter can also be used to control the frequency of location updates. If it is greater than 0 then the location provider will only send your application an update when the location has changed by at least minDistance meters, AND when the minimum time has elapsed. However it is more difficult for location providers to save power using the minimum distance parameter, so the minimum time parameter should be the primary tool for conserving battery life.

If your application wants to passively observe location updates triggered by other applications, but not consume any additional power otherwise, then use the PASSIVE_PROVIDER. This provider does not turn on or modify active location providers, so you do not need to be as careful about minimum time and minimum distance parameters. However, if your application performs heavy work on a location update (such as network activity) then you should select non-zero values for the parameters to rate-limit your update frequency in the case another application enables a location provider with extremely fast updates.

In case the provider you have selected is disabled, location updates will cease, and a provider availability update will be sent. As soon as the provider is enabled again, another provider availability update will be sent and location updates will immediately resume.

When location callbacks are invoked, the system will hold a wakelock on your application's behalf for some period of time, but not indefinitely. If your application requires a long running wakelock within the location callback, you should acquire it yourself.

Prior to Jellybean, the minTime parameter was only a hint, and some location provider implementations ignored it. For Jellybean and onwards however, it is mandatory for Android compatible devices to observe both the minTime and minDistance parameters.

To unregister for location updates, use removeUpdates(android.location.LocationListener).
