Get Location updates from GPS only, not from Network

I need accurate location updates. When using FusedLocationServices from GooglePlayServices, even if I set HighAccuracy, it will get locations from Wi-Fi and cellular when GPS is not available. How do I request locations ONLY from GPS, and with no updates coming in when GPS is not available?

Solution

  • Use LocationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, ...)

    this removed the need for GooglePlayServices.Location completely.
