Android :: Location Device And Information Usage
May 8, 2010
I have a few questions regarding the usage of localization in android applications: Are there any interfaces available to find out when an application uses location information? Is it possible to know if the application is using coarse or fine grained location information? Is it possible to detect which type of localization is being provided, i.e. gps vs. wifi? And if the answer to any of the above question is yes, how? You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

I am doing one application in which I am fetching the Cell, location ids of the towers. I am able to get cellid, lacid and networkOperator name. I am using the following code. private GsmCellLocation gsmCellLocation; gsmCellLocation = (GsmCellLocation)cellLocation; cellID = gsmCellLocation.getCid(); lacID = gsmCellLocation. getLac() ; String networkOperatorName = telephonyManager.getNetworkOperatorName(); But I need the location name of the tower, like what we get as Cell info display. How is it possible.

I am trying to use Android's LocationManager requestLocationUpdates. Everything is working until I try to extract the actual location object that in my broadcast receiver. Do I need to specifically define the "extras" to my custom intent so that the Android LocationManager before I pass it to requestLocationUpdates so it knows how to add it into the intent, or will it create the extras-bundle regardless when it passes the fired intent to the broadcast receiver?

I just got my phone and the battery might still be stabilizing, and of course I'm fiddling with it a lot and I've installed heaps of apps, but I can't quite work out something. I unplugged my phone at midnight and this morning found my phone at 70% charge. I also got a message from my provider that I'd used up all my data. I checked and found that my phone had used up (sent+received) 30MB overnight. Google Maps was the biggest culprit - it received 700K but it sent almost 8MB. This is while the phone was sitting on my bedside table! And of course, as I'm driving to work (not using the phone at all), Google Maps was transmitting my location information back to it's servers so that the traffic flow is updated on their systems.
That's cool, but there doesn't appear to be any way to disable or turn off this in GM's configuration, or even exit the app. It seems that having My Location services enabled gives Google Maps (and I'm sure other apps like weather, gmail, Contacts, etc.) free reign to send and transmit data all the time. I don't want to have to disable My Location services completely; I want finer control over things on a per-app basis. Having Google Maps transmit 8MB overnight might not seem like a lot, but when the phone is idle, it disables wireless (to save battery) and thus all data is going through 2G/3G and I'm incurring data charges.

I am developing a context aware mobile application. I need to have information about the capabilities of terminal devices and network characteristics such as current bandwidth. My question is, are there APIs in android to access this information?

My program is targeting Android 1.5. I would like to retrieve system information about the device itself. I have found very few helpful classes by searching the APIs. the best I've found so far is the Runtime class and a few Build.* system properties.
I would like to be able to get information like the total amount of memory on the device, the amount of free memory (which I do not know if the Runtime class is actually giving me, since it specifically refers to memory available to the JVM) along with information about the processor.
Is this information available, and if so, where can I find it?

I need test my Android app on a Motorola Cliq but don't have one. Is there a testing service that will let me make a debug connection to that device so I can run some tests and find out where the code is failing. Video connections won't tell me that.

How can i get device information from nonrooted device with python script? As I understand python don't have API like os.android.build in Java.
I need to get system information from device, such as cpu frequencies, gpu vendor and other (like in Antutu and another benchmarks).
I know how to write python script with $getprop information from shell, and from buil.prop file in the system files, but it isn't enough. I also know how to get these information with shell command and busybox installed, but I shouldn't root them.

This is NOT a "my battery life sucks" thread, i'm just wondering what apps everyone uses to monitor their battery life and device usage.
I'm currently using:
Default Settings > Battery > Battery Use

Is there anyway to find out if a device is portrait or landscape by default? In that I mean how you normally use the device.
Most phones have a portrait screen for normal usage but is there some flag for finding that out?

I developed an application that use the current location. Testing on local I can send the Latitude and Longitude by the DDM5 and I didn't have problem. When I tried to do the same thing on debugging device, didn't work and on DDM5 I can't send this information. Is there any setup to try this ? Here is the code <code> //manifest <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> <uses-permission android:name ="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOC ATION" /> <uses-permission android:name= "android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCAT ION" /> //view.java -> widget configure private Location location; private LocationManager lm; private LocationListener locationListener; //onCreate lm = (LocationManager) getSystemService (Context.LOCATION_SERVICE) ; locationListener = new MyLocationListener(); lm.request Location Updates (LocationManager.GPS_PROV IDER, 0, 0, locationListener); //action *location.distanceTo private class MyLocationListener implements LocationListener

I am a Mac user (photographer/ videographer). I also rely heavily on my iPod Touch when mobile (i can often find a wifi signal when i am out and about). I use iCal on the Touch and iCal on my Mac as well as the address book on both everyday and as a Mobile Me user, my two devices sync so everything is mirrored and up to date. I also HATE AT&T for their terrible signal strength and coverage and have been a loyal Verizon customer for many years and this is why I don't have an iPhone. Okay, all that being said, is there an easy way to still use everything I love and rely on with my Mac (the calender and address book, mainly) and easily sync all of my existing information and future info to an Android based device? How easy is it to use an Android device with a Mac? I don't want to have to manually re-enter my entire address book into a new device.

Okay, here is an issue I am not sure about.when I go to the internet, Google, settings, allow use of device location.if I change that to Yes/Save/then go back out to Google it says location unavailable (whether GPS is on or off). If I hit update it won't update.so it can't find my location, any ideas?
