Google Location Services on Android

Course Overview

This course provides an overview of Google Location Services on Android. Students will learn how to use the Fused Location Provider to tailor their app behavior to the user's location. Additionally, students will learn about Activity recognition and Geofencing, and how they can be used to build apps for augmented reality. This course is part of the Google Play Services series, which features a variety of different Google APIs.

[Applications]
After taking this course, learners will be able to apply the knowledge they have gained to build Android apps that are tailored to the user's location and context. They will be able to use the Fused Location Provider to get more than just simple GPS, as well as Activity recognition and Geofencing to create augmented reality apps. Additionally, learners will be able to take the other courses in the Google Play Services series to further their knowledge and skills.

[Career Paths]
1. Mobile App Developer: Mobile app developers use the Location and Context API to tailor their apps to the user's location and context. They use the Fused Location Provider to get more than simple GPS, and Activity Recognition to tailor the app to what the user is doing. With the rise of augmented reality, mobile app developers are increasingly using Geofencing to create apps that can be used in this space.

2. Augmented Reality Developer: Augmented reality developers use the Location and Context API to create apps that can be used in this space. They use the Fused Location Provider to get more than simple GPS, and Activity Recognition to tailor the app to what the user is doing. Geofencing is also used to create apps that can be used in this space.

3. Location Services Engineer: Location services engineers use the Location and Context API to create location-based services. They use the Fused Location Provider to get more than simple GPS, and Activity Recognition to tailor the app to what the user is doing. Geofencing is also used to create apps that can be used in this space.

4. Mobile App Analyst: Mobile app analysts use the Location and Context API to analyze user behavior and tailor their apps to the user's location and context. They use the Fused Location Provider to get more than simple GPS, and Activity Recognition to tailor the app to what the user is doing. With the rise of augmented reality, mobile app analysts are increasingly using Geofencing to create apps that can be used in this space.
