Static Location Service

This section provides guidance for application developers to read or write the device's statically configured location.

Location Provider

Use the following location-provider name when calling the LocationManager API to read the location:

"static"

Read Location

Applications can use this provider to determine the device's location.

Required Android Permission

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />

Sample Code

LocationManager lm = (LocationManager)getSystemService(LocationManager.class);

Location location = lm.getLastKnownLocation("static");

if (location != null) {

    double lat = location.getLatitude();
    double lon = location.getLongitude();

    Log.d("STATIC_PROVIDER", "Lat=" + lat + " Lon=" + lon);
}

Write / Update Location

Manageability applications use this provider to configure the device's static location during provisioning.

Required Permission

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.LOCATION_HARDWARE" />

Sample Code

IBinder binder = ServiceManager.getService("location_control");

ILocationControlService service = ILocationControlService.Stub.asInterface(binder);

service.setHalLocation(12.9716, 77.5946);
