Java Reference
In-Depth Information
The API represents location data as instances of the
Location
class, which bear fields
representing the coordinates, street address, timestamp, course, speed, and means of
location for the instance. To standardize access to this data, the API also includes classes
such as
AddressInfo
and
QualifiedCoordinates
, which represent a street address and loca-
tion with an associated error circle, respectively.
The API also permits different applications (potentially including the embedded
applications on the device) to share location data with each other through one or more
landmark stores. You access the landmark stores through the
LandmarkStore
class, which
provides static methods for creating and removing stores from the persistent file system
as well as accessing a specific store. Once you create an instance of
LandmarkStore
,you
can use it to enumerate the contents of a store, obtaining individual
Landmark
objects that
represent a specific
Location
instance and user-supplied data such as the name, descrip-
tion, and category for the instance.
