<p>Provides classes which allow applications to use Wi-Fi RTT (IEEE 802.11mc) to measure distance
to supporting Access Points and peer devices.</p>
<p>The primary entry point to Wi-Fi RTT capabilities is the
{@link android.net.wifi.rtt.WifiRttManager} class, which is acquired by calling
{@link android.content.Context#getSystemService(String)
Context.getSystemService(Context.WIFI_RTT_RANGING_SERVICE)}</p>
<p>Some APIs may require the following user permissions:</p>
<ul>
<li>{@link android.Manifest.permission#ACCESS_WIFI_STATE}</li>
<li>{@link android.Manifest.permission#CHANGE_WIFI_STATE}</li>
<li>{@link android.Manifest.permission#ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION}</li>
</ul>
<p>Usage of the API is also gated by the device's Location Mode: whether it permits Wi-Fi based
location to be queried.</p>
<p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> Not all Android-powered devices support Wi-Fi RTT
functionality.
If your application only works with Wi-Fi RTT (i.e. it should only be installed on devices which
support Wi-Fi RTT), declare so with a <a
href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/uses-feature-element.html">
{@code <uses-feature>}</a>
element in the manifest file:</p>
<pre>
&lt;manifest ...>
&lt;uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.wifi.rtt" />
...
&lt;/manifest>
</pre>
<p>Alternatively, if your application does not require Wi-Fi RTT but can take advantage of it if
available, you can perform
the check at run-time in your code using {@link
android.content.pm.PackageManager#hasSystemFeature(String)} with {@link
android.content.pm.PackageManager#FEATURE_WIFI_RTT}:</p>
<pre>
getPackageManager().hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_WIFI_RTT)
</pre>
