| <p>Contains the framework API classes that define Android location-based and related services.</p> |
| <p class="note"> |
| <strong>Note:</strong> The Google Location Services API, part of Google Play |
| Services, provides a more powerful, high-level framework that automates tasks such as |
| location provider choice and power management. Location Services also provides new |
| features such as activity detection that aren't available in the framework API. Developers who |
| are using the framework API, as well as developers who are just now adding location-awareness |
| to their apps, should strongly consider using the Location Services API. |
