onProviderDisabled/Enabled is not working properly

[Larnoo]

• When gps provider status changed, the onProviderDisabled/Enabled is working properly.
• But when network provider status changed, the onProviderDisabled/Enabled is not working properly。
• (I close wifi , mobile data, change to airplane mode. the onProviderDisabled/Enabled is not work.)

We are looking into this. Initial testing seems to indicate the callbacks are triggered when a provider is disabled using the location system settings (toggling mode between high accuracy, battery saving, and device only) but not when enabled.

Also please be aware that LocationListener.onProviderDisabled() and LocationListener.onProviderDisabled() will soon be deprecated in favor of LocationAvailability.

So it turns out these methods are actually working as expected according to the Android docs.

These methods are called if the LocationListener has been registered with the location manager service using the requestLocationUpdates(String, long, float, LocationListener) method.

Lost registers its listeners with the LocationManager selectively based on the priority set when creating a location request.

For example if the priority is PRIORITY_BALANCED_POWER_ACCURACY then no listener will be set on the GPS provider and enabled/disabled callbacks will not be invoked for it. However callbacks will still be invoked for the network provider.

Documentation and demo app have been updated here #137.
