When I say I demand a certain accuracy from the GPS what I mean is
that when it reports a location I call getAccuracy and if it is not
good enough I throw away the result. Maybe I should just be more
lenient on the accuracy from a network location.
All of this and people have only

This is a general question about GPS accuracy reporting based on

I have an Android game where location is very important to the rules.
There have been a bunch of cheaters and I have spent a long time

they have been cheating is using a location spoofing app. I tried
shutting that off by seeing
The issue is that the table I am making extends itself off the right
side of the dialog window.
It seems like it only does this when one of the components in the
table is a textview with enough text to cover multiple lines.
Someone suggested that I try using a gridview instead of a table

I am looking for a tutorial that explains the logic for fast, robust

Basically I am sick of Google Maps finding my location so incredibly

I would be fine with pseudo code responses and I will explain what
Sorry, one last thing. Getting an incorrect location is just as bad a

considering getLastKnownLocation. If I am mistaken about the
usefulness of getLastKnownLocation that would also be helpful.

I think the issue is that you need to replace the [password]s with
