[jira] [Updated] (CB-9474) Use fused location provider
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-9474?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Nikhil Khandelwal updated CB-9474:
----------------------------------
Issue Type: Improvement (was: Bug)
> Use fused location provider
> ---------------------------
>
> Key: CB-9474
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-9474
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Plugin Geolocation
> Reporter: Werner Beroux
>
> On Android, WebView/Chrome uses [LocationManager|https://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/LocationManager.html] to provide location updates (see [Chromium LocationProviderFactory.java|https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git/+/master/content/public/android/java/src/org/chromium/content/browser/LocationProviderFactory.java]).
> This is less reliable and uses more battery than the [FusedLocationProviderApi|https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/location/FusedLocationProviderApi].
> It would be good to make use of FusedLocationProviderApi when available (that is when Google Play Services are installed).
