copied!<p><strong>Issue:</strong></p> <p>Location updates not working indoors as claimed by Fusion Location Provider APIs.</p> <p><strong>What happened:</strong> </p> <ol> <li>I tried implementing the latest location API to get location updates using <code>LocationClient</code> in my Android App.</li> <li>My android app works fine with out any issue while I am testing outdoor.</li> <li>But when testing indoors (inside any building), then no location updates are happening.</li> </ol> <p><strong>Expected behavior:</strong></p> <p>As per the new APIs, I am expecting to get some estimated location around the building while I am indoors (as GPS do not find the satellite signal for accurate location).</p> <p>I see that latest Google Maps android app works fine indoors with estimated location. </p> <p><strong>Question:</strong></p> <p>What else do I have to take care using new location APIs to get the location update indoors (accurate location is not required, low accuracy is also fine).</p> <p>I am implementing the Android App using Android 4.2.2 version APIs. I am testing on HTC One X (OS v 4.1.1)</p> <p><strong>Below is the android code that I applied to get location updates using new APIs:</strong></p> <p>Step1: </p> <pre><code>mLocationClient = new LocationClient(this, this, this); </code></pre> <p>Step2:</p> <pre><code>// Create the LocationRequest object mLocationRequest = LocationRequest.create(); // Use high accuracy mLocationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY); // Set the update interval to 5 seconds mLocationRequest.setInterval(UPDATE_INTERVAL); // Set the fastest update interval to 1 second mLocationRequest.setFastestInterval(FASTEST_INTERVAL); </code></pre> <p>Step3: inside <code>onStart()</code> method - below line is added:</p> <pre><code>// Connect the client. mLocationClient.connect(); </code></pre> <p>Step4: inside <code>onConnected()</code> method - below line is added:</p> <pre><code>mLocationClient.requestLocationUpdates(mLocationRequest, this); </code></pre> <p>Step5: inside <code>onLocationChanged()</code> method - listening for location updates. This method is not called when testing insides. This method is getting called only when GPS signal is found.</p> <pre><code>double lat = location.getLatitude(); double lng = location.getLongitude(); </code></pre> <p>Finally added below permissions in Android Manifest:</p> <pre><code> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" /> </code></pre>
