<p>Contains the framework API classes that define Android location-based and related services.</p>

<p class="note">

    <strong>Note:</strong> The Google Location Services API, part of Google Play

    Services, provides a more powerful, high-level framework that automates tasks such as

    location provider choice and power management. Location Services also provides new

    features such as activity detection that aren't available in the framework API. Developers who

    are using the framework API, as well as developers who are just now adding location-awareness

    to their apps, should strongly consider using the Location Services API.

<p>Contains the framework API classes that define Android location-based and

	related services.</p>

<p class="warning">

<strong>This API is not the recommended method for accessing Android location.</strong><br>

The

<a href="{@docRoot}reference/com/google/android/gms/location/package-summary.html">Google Location Services API</a>,

part of Google Play services, is the preferred way to add location-awareness to

your app. It offers a simpler API, higher accuracy, low-power geofencing, and

more. If you are currently using the android.location API, you are strongly

encouraged to switch to the Google Location Services API as soon as

possible.
