You can request location updates within a pre-defined area, or at
pre-defined times which can be used for geo-fencing... Not sure exactly
what you need to accomplish so it's tough to suggest much more than
reading the " request Location Updates " documentation.

As you know, location updates are requested from LocationProvider.
If you use NetworkProvider then GPS is not turned on.
The rest is in technical details which you should get from the
documentation (probably iPhone does it all by itself but in case of
Android some technical boring reading is required ;)

How would I go about doing a geofence characteristic in my android
app? I dont want to be pooling the GPS hardware for location, and then
making some calculations to see if the current lat/lng location is
inside ( or not ) a delimited area. On iPhone ( dont know if I can
mention iphone here ;)) I can use some system API to notify me upon
entering/leaving a certain region that I had pre-determined in my
app... Is there anything that relates to that? How does android apps
do it? ;)
Thanks in advance,
Victor Lima
