如何在不使用GPS，加速度计的情况下检测设备是否静止

Question

Is their any way for deciding the device is stationary without using GPS and accelerometer.

I can use network updates from location manager.

I tried using

 mLocManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 0, 10, mLocListener);

Considering i will receive location updates only if device moves atleast 10 meters. So absence of network updates can say device position stationary.

But this didnt seem to work properly. I even moved 200 meters or more i got no updates. Is their any way to make it work. Or any other way.

Thank You

Any Help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

The network_provider depends hugely on how many cell towers are in your area. Using that method, accuracy can be as large as a few miles. This link mentions some alternatives like triangulating using what WiFi SSIDs are in range. Hope this helps!
