存在的问题:
尽快在阈值范围内获取用户的当前位置，同时节省电池。
为什么这个问题是问题:
首先，android有两个提供者;网络和GPS。有时网络更好，有时GPS更好。
这里的“更好”指的是速度与准确度之比。
我愿意牺牲几米的精度，只要我能在不打开GPS的情况下立即得到位置。
其次，如果您请求更新位置更改，如果当前位置稳定，则不会发送任何内容。
谷歌有一个确定“最佳”位置的例子:http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/location/obtaining-user-location.html#BestEstimate
但是我认为它远不如它应该/可以做到的那么好。
我有点困惑为什么谷歌没有一个规范化的API的位置，开发人员不应该关心位置从哪里来，你应该指定你想要什么，手机应该为你选择。
我需要帮助的方面:
我需要找到一种确定“最佳”位置的好方法，可能是通过一些启发式或第三方库。
这并不意味着要确定最好的提供者!
我可能会使用所有的提供者，并从中选择最好的。
app背景:
该应用程序将在固定的时间间隔(比如每10分钟左右)收集用户的位置，并将其发送到服务器。
应用程序应该尽可能节省电池，位置应该有X(50-100?)米的精度。
我们的目标是以后能够在地图上绘制用户白天的路径，所以我需要足够的准确性。
Misc:
你认为期望和接受的精确度的合理值是多少?
我一直在用接受的100万和想要的30万，这要求太高了吗?
我希望以后能够在地图上绘制用户的路径。
要求100米，接受500米更好吗?
另外，现在我的GPS每次更新位置最多60秒，如果你在室内，精度可能是200米，这是不是太短了?
这是我目前的代码，任何反馈都是赞赏的(除了缺乏错误检查，这是TODO):

看起来我们在编写相同的应用程序;-)
这是我当前的实现。我的GPS上传应用程序仍处于beta测试阶段，因此可能会有许多可能的改进。但到目前为止，它似乎运行得很好。

}

}
// both are old return the newer of those two
if (gpslocation.getTime() > networkLocation.getTime()) {
Log.d(TAG, "Both are old, returning gps(newer)");
return gpslocation;
} else {
Log.d(TAG, "Both are old, returning network(newer)");
return networkLocation;
}
}

try {
if (locationManager.isProviderEnabled(provider)) {
location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(provider);
}
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
Log.d(TAG, "Cannot acces Provider " + provider);
}
return location;
}
编辑:这里是请求位置提供者定期更新的部分:
public void startRecording() {
gpsTimer.cancel();
gpsTimer = new Timer();
long checkInterval = getGPSCheckMilliSecsFromPrefs();
long minDistance = getMinDistanceFromPrefs();
// receive updates
LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) getApplicationContext()

for (String s : locationManager.getAllProviders()) {
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(s, checkInterval,
minDistance, new LocationListener() {

@Override

@Override

// if this is a gps location, we can use it
if (location.getProvider().equals(
LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER)) {
doLocationUpdate(location, true);
}
}
});
// //Toast.makeText(this, "GPS Service STARTED",
// Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
gps_recorder_running = true;
}
// start the gps receiver thread
gpsTimer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask() {
@Override
public void run() {
Location location = getBestLocation();
doLocationUpdate(location, false);
}
}, 0, checkInterval);
}
public void doLocationUpdate(Location l, boolean force) {
long minDistance = getMinDistanceFromPrefs();
Log.d(TAG, "update received:" + l);
if (l == null) {
Log.d(TAG, "Empty location");
if (force)
Toast.makeText(this, "Current location not available",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return;
}
if (lastLocation != null) {
float distance = l.distanceTo(lastLocation);
Log.d(TAG, "Distance to last: " + distance);
if (l.distanceTo(lastLocation) < minDistance && !force) {
Log.d(TAG, "Position didn't change");
return;
}
if (l.getAccuracy() >= lastLocation.getAccuracy()
&& l.distanceTo(lastLocation) < l.getAccuracy() && !force) {
Log.d(TAG,
"Accuracy got worse and we are still "
+ "within the accuracy range.. Not updating");
return;
}
if (l.getTime() <= lastprovidertimestamp && !force) {
Log.d(TAG, "Timestamp not never than last");
return;
}
}
// upload/store your location here
}
需要考虑的事情:
不要太频繁地要求更新GPS，这会消耗电池电量。我目前
使用30分钟作为默认的应用程序。
增加“到最后已知位置的最小距离”检查。没有这个，你的分数
当GPS无法使用，位置被三角定位时，会“跳来跳去”吗
从发射塔传来的。或者您可以检查新位置是否在精度范围之外
最后一个已知位置的值。
要为你的应用程序选择正确的位置提供者，你可以使用Criteria对象:
Criteria myCriteria = new Criteria();
myCriteria.setAccuracy(Criteria.ACCURACY_HIGH);
myCriteria.setPowerRequirement(Criteria.POWER_LOW);
// let Android select the right location provider for you
String myProvider = locationManager.getBestProvider(myCriteria, true);
// finally require updates at -at least- the desired rate
long minTimeMillis = 600000; // 600,000 milliseconds make 10 minutes
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(myProvider,minTimeMillis,0,locationListener);
阅读requestLocationUpdates的文档，了解如何考虑参数的更多细节:
通知的频率可以使用minTime和
minDistance参数。如果minTime大于0，则LocationManager . properties将自动返回
可能会在位置更新之间休息minTime毫秒
为了节约能源。如果minDistance大于0，一个位置只会
如果设备按minDistance米移动，则广播。获得
尽可能频繁地通知，将两个参数都设置为0。
更多的想法
You can monitor the accuracy of the Location objects with Location.getAccuracy(), which returns the estimated accuracy of the position in meters.
the Criteria.ACCURACY_HIGH criterion should give you errors below 100m, which is not as good as GPS can be, but matches your needs.
You also need to monitor the status of your location provider, and switch to another provider if it gets unavailable or disabled by the user.
The passive provider may also be a good match for this kind of application: the idea is to use location updates whenever they are requested by another app and broadcast systemwide.
