Werner Beroux created CB-9474:
---------------------------------
Summary: Use fused location provider
Key: CB-9474
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-9474
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Bug
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).
