How to set the default location service as OFF in AOSP

Where can I change default location mode in AOSP.

I have to set the location service as OFF. I have checked this file

/frameworks/base/core/res/res/values/config.xml

but I couldn't find any variation by changing values.

Is there a centralized file/folder for all the settings?

Solution

  • There's a XML file at /frameworks/base/packages/SettingsProvider/res/values/defaults.xml where you can set default values.

    To set default location provider you would need to set def_location_providers_allowed. AOSP's default value is gps, but you can set network for network location provider or anything else to disable it.
