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):
