[android-developers] Re: Accuracy in GPS Location

The Javadoc says horizontal accuracy, as EGO says; I dunno why I missed that before. But it's consistent with my observations. But you're dependent on the GPS implementation in the device, and how they implement and report the accuracy computation may vary. If you REALLY care, I'd suggest testing.

I think a lot of apps don't use the onStop or onStart. I never found a use for them (so far...). onCreate, onResume, onPause and onDestroy are the most important ones. The NonConfigurationInstance() methods for configuration changes. On Mar 5, 9:26 am, Zuli wrote: > I agree with Mark Murphy
