My widget needs to know its location but does not care whether it gets it from the GPS or the network. If I can get a finer location from the GPS that's fine. But if the GPS is not enabled or does not exist in the device, than I will use what I can get.
I have some questions related to this: 1) Do I need both 'fine' and 'coarse' permissions to indicate that I can use both? Or will 'fine' also use the network if the GPS is not available. I don't want the user to think that a GPS is required in order for the application to work. But I do need to get lat/long one way or the other. 2) Is best practice still to do a backwards search through the list of available providers and to use the best one I find? 3) When setting up the location listener or intent to track location changes you have to specify the provider to use. But what if want to simply use the cheapest provider available?
