[MLO] Re: Question about Nearby notification in Android app
It's very interesting, because I never saw GPS icon appear in the notification bar while using MLO nearby function... If this is the method so you how you can know what the accuracy of your location? Because, you know, the accuracy of GPS and cell triangulation very differ, and I would like to know which radius to put to my location contexts -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MyLifeOrganized group.

yes we use what Android tells us about location. Andrey. On Wednesday, April 17, 2013 11:23:00 PM UTC+3, Dwight Arthur wrote: Hi, Yegor.

This would mean that if you walk north 10 yards Android will know even if there are no cell towers or wifi hotspots in view. You can tell what Android's current location is by loading Google Maps and clicking on the icon in the upper right corner. -Dwight On Monday, April 15, 2013 6:05:26 PM UTC-4, Yegor Yegorov wrote: My question is how exactly Android app determine location?
