Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels) Summary: [Constants](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/Location#constants) \| [Inherited Constants](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/Location#inhconstants) \| [Fields](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/Location#lfields) \| [Ctors](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/Location#pubctors) \| [Methods](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/Location#pubmethods) \| [Inherited Methods](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/Location#inhmethods) # Location *** ** * ** *** ` public class Location ` ` extends https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object ` ` implements https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable ` |---|---| | [java.lang.Object](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object) || | ↳ | android.location.Location |
*** ** * ** *** A data class representing a geographic location. A location consists of a latitude, longitude, timestamp, accuracy, and other information such as bearing, altitude and velocity. All locations generated through `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/LocationManager` are guaranteed to have a valid latitude, longitude, timestamp (both Unix epoch time and elapsed realtime since boot), and accuracy. All other parameters are optional. Note that Android provides the ability for applications to submit "mock" or faked locations through `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/LocationManager`, and that these locations can then be received by applications using LocationManager to obtain location information. These locations can be identified via the `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/Location#isMock()` API. Applications that wish to determine if a given location represents the best estimate of the real position of the device as opposed to a fake location coming from another application or the user should use this API. Keep in mind that the user may have a good reason for mocking their location, and thus apps should generally reject mock locations only when it is essential to their use case that only real locations are accepted. ## Summary | ### Constants || |---|---| | `int` | `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/Location#FORMAT_DEGREES` Constant used to specify formatting of a latitude or longitude in the form "\[+-\]DDD.DDDDD where D indicates degrees. | | `int` | `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/Location#FORMAT_MINUTES` Constant used to specify formatting of a latitude or longitude in the form "\[+-\]DDD:MM.MMMMM" where D indicates degrees and M indicates minutes of arc (1 minute = 1/60th of a degree). | | `int` | `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/Location#FORMAT_SECONDS` Constant used to specify formatting of a latitude or longitude in the form "DDD:MM:SS.SSSSS" where D indicates degrees, M indicates minutes of arc, and S indicates seconds of arc (1 minute = 1/60th of a degree, 1 second = 1/3600th of a degree). | ### Inherited constants From interface `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable` `int` `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable#CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR` Descriptor bit used with `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable#describeContents()`: indicates that the Parcelable object's flattened representation includes a file descriptor. `int` `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable#PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE` Flag for use with `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable#writeToParcel(android.os.Parcel,%20int)`: the object being written is a return value, that is the result of a function such as "`Parcelable someFunction()`", "`void someFunction(out Parcelable)`", or "`void someFunction(inout Parcelable)`". | ### Fields || |---|---| | ` public static final https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable.Creator` | `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/Location#CREATOR`

The `equals` method implements an equivalence relation on non-null object references: - It is *reflexive*: for any non-null reference value `x`, `x.equals(x)` should return `true`. - It is *symmetric*: for any non-null reference values `x` and `y`, `x.equals(y)` should return `true` if and only if `y.equals(x)` returns `true`. - It is *transitive*: for any non-null reference values `x`, `y`, and `z`, if `x.equals(y)` returns `true` and `y.equals(z)` returns `true`, then `x.equals(z)` should return `true`. - It is *consistent*: for any non-null reference values `x` and `y`, multiple invocations of `x.equals(y)` consistently return `true` or consistently return `false`, provided no information used in `equals` comparisons on the objects is modified. - For any non-null reference value `x`, `x.equals(null)` should return `false`. An equivalence relation partitions the elements it operates on into *equivalence classes*; all the members of an equivalence class are equal to each other. Members of an equivalence class are substitutable for each other, at least for some purposes.
| Parameters || |---|---| | `o` | `Object`: This value may be `null`.
| | Returns || |---|---| | `boolean` | `true` if this object is the same as the obj argument; `false` otherwise.

Locations derived from other providers may use any clock to set their time, though it is most common to use the device's Unix epoch time system clock (which may be incorrect). Note that the device's Unix epoch time system clock is not monotonic; it can jump forwards or backwards unpredictably and may be changed at any time by the user, so this time should not be used to order or compare locations. Prefer `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/Location#getElapsedRealtimeNanos()` for that purpose, as the elapsed realtime clock is guaranteed to be monotonic. On the other hand, this method may be useful for presenting a human-readable time to the user, or as a heuristic for comparing location fixes across reboot or across devices. All locations generated by the `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/LocationManager` are guaranteed to have this time set, however remember that the device's system clock may have changed since the location was generated.

This integer need not remain consistent from one execution of an application to another execution of the same application. - If two objects are equal according to the `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object#equals(java.lang.Object)` method, then calling the `hashCode` method on each of the two objects must produce the same integer result. - It is *not* required that if two objects are unequal according to the `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Object#equals(java.lang.Object)` method, then calling the `hashCode` method on each of the two objects must produce distinct integer results. However, the programmer should be aware that producing distinct integer results for unequal objects may improve the performance of hash tables.
