2. Location Basics LocationManager—Class providing access to Android system location services LocationListener—Interface for receiving notifications from the LocationManager when the location has changed Location—Class representing a geographic location determined at a particular time

3. LocationManager (step 1) 1)LocationManager needs – to be initialized with Android System Location Service This provides the application with the device’s current location,movement and can also alert when the device enters or leaves a defined area. An example of initialization is LocationManager mLocationManager; mLocationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);

4. Location Manager(step 2) Location Provider needs to be Selected – Wifi – Gps Before that select the criteria for the provider To find a proper location provider is to define the accuracy and power requirement. This enables the Android system to find the best available location technology for the specified requirements

5. Example step 2 Criteria criteria = new Criteria(); criteria.setAccuracy(Criteria.ACCURACY_FINE); criteria.setPowerRequirement(Criteria.POWER_LOW); Step 2(Assign the Provider to the LocationManager Class; String locationprovider = mLocationManager.getBestProvider(criteria, true);

6. LocationProviders It is also possible to specify the location estimation technology using the location manager’s getProvider() method. The two most common providers are the satellitebased Global Positioning System (GPS) (specified by LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER) and cell-tower identification (specified by LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER. The former is more accurate, but the latter is useful when a direct view of the sky is not available such as indoors

7. Adding Location Awareness Save chosen location on tasks Adding an overlay that shows the device current location Using DDMS to mock locations Displaying the current location co-ordinates and accuracy Filtering the Tasks by Location and Proximity

18. Mocking Location

19. Providing Mock Location Data As you develop your application, you'll certainly need to test how well your model for obtaining user location works. This is most easily done using a real Android- powered device. If, however, you don't have a device, you can still test your location-based features by mocking location data in the Android emulator. There are three different ways to send your application mock location data: using Eclipse, DDMS, or the "geo" command in the emulator console (copied from) http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/location/st rategies.html http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/location/st rategies.html
