Themes: Fused Location, Geofencing, LocationRequest.
API changes
o Fused location is always returned when asking for location by Criteria.
o Fused location is never returned as a LocationProvider object, nor returned
as a provider String. This wouldn't make sense because the current API
design assumes that LocationProvider's have fixed properties (accuracy, power
etc).
o The fused location engine will tune itself based on the criteria passed
by applications.
o Deprecate LocationProvider. Apps should use fused location (via Criteria
class), instead of enumerating through LocationProvider objects. It is
also over-engineered: designed for a world with a plethora of location
providers that never materialized.
o The Criteria class is also over-engineered, with many methods that aren't
currently used, but for now we won't deprecate them since they may have
value in the future. It is now used to tune the fused location engine.
o Deprecate getBestProvider() and getProvider().
o Add getLastKnownLocation(Criteria), so we can return last known
fused locations.
o Apps with only ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION _can_ now use the GPS, but the location
they receive will be fudged to a 1km radius. They can also use NETWORK
and fused locatoins, which are fudged in the same way if necessary.
o Totally deprecate Criteria, in favor of LocationRequest.
Criteria was designed to map QOS to a location provider. What we
really need is to map QOS to _locations_.
The death knell was the conflicting ACCURACY_ constants on
Criteria, with values 1, 2, 3, 1, 2. Yes not a typo.
o Totally deprecate LocationProvider.
o Deprecate test/mock provider support. They require a named provider,
which is a concept we are moving away from. We do not yet have a
replacement, but I think its ok to deprecate since you also
need to have 'allow mock locations' checked in developer settings.
They will continue to work.
o Deprecate event codes associated with provider status. The fused
provider is _always_ available.
o Introduce Geofence data object to provide an easier path fowards
for polygons etc.
Implementation changes
o Fused implementation: incoming (GPS and NLP) location fixes are given
a weight, that exponentially decays with respect to age and accuracy.
The half-life of age is ~60 seconds, and the half-life of accuracy is
~20 meters. The fixes are weighted and combined to output a fused
location.
o Move Fused Location impl into
frameworks/base/packages/FusedLocation
o Refactor Fused Location behind the IProvider AIDL interface. This allow us
to distribute newer versions of Fused Location in a new APK, at run-time.
o Introduce ServiceWatcher.java, to refactor code used for run-time upgrades of
Fused Location, and the NLP.
o Fused Location is by default run in the system server (but can be moved to
any process or pacakge, even at run-time).
o Plumb the Criteria requirements through to the Fused Location provider via
ILocation.sendExtraCommand(). I re-used this interface to avoid modifying the
ILocation interface, which would have broken run-time upgradability of the
NLP.
o Switch the geofence manager to using fused location.
o Clean up 'adb shell dumpsys location' output.
o Introduce config_locationProviderPackageNames and
config_overlay_locationProviderPackageNames to configure the default
and overlay package names for Geocoder, NLP and FLP.
o Lots of misc cleanup.
o Improve location fudging. Apply random vector then quantize.
o Hide internal POJO's from clients of com.android.location.provider.jar
(NLP and FLP). Introduce wrappers ProviderRequestUnbundled and
ProviderPropertiesUnbundled.
o Introduce ProviderProperties to collapse all the provider accuracy/
bearing/altitude/power plumbing (that is deprecated anyway).
o DELETE lots of code: DummyLocationProvider,
o Rename the (internal) LocationProvider to LocationProviderBase.
o Plumb pid, uid and packageName throughout
LocationManagerService#Receiver to support future features.

- You can now use android:singleUser with receivers and providers.
- New API to send ordered broadcasts as a user.
- New Process.myUserHandle() API.
For now I am trying out "user handle" as the name for the numbers
representing users.

Network type can be obtained through EXTRA_NETWORK_INFO, but offer
it as first-class extra since the returned NetworkInfo is deprecated.

Preloaded drawables now have a density associated with them, so we
can load the correct drawable if we are using a different density.
Window manager now formally keeps track of the density for each
screen, allowing it to be overridden like you can already do with
size, and relies on this density to drive itself internally and
the configurations it reports.
There are a new set of Bitmap constructors where you provide a
DisplayMetrics so they can be constructed with the correct density.
(This will be for when you can have different windows in the same
app running at different densities.)
ActivityThread now watches for density changes, and pushes them
to the DENSITY_DEVICE and Bitmap global density values for that
process.
A new am command allows you to change the density.
Enable feature in config. Expose Dream in public api for unbundled apps.
Unhide package. Add isDreaming() method to service.
Re-arrange the Dream api a bit. (use onStart as hook for subclasses).
Coordinate properly with power manager.
Replace old dock mode (don't fire old intent).

Bug: 6921930
- Expose the existing Context.sendBroadcast() as
Context.sendBroadcastAsUser().
- Add new android:singleUser attribute for services.
- Add new INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL permission for full
system-level access to cross-user interface (allows
sendBroadcastAsUser() to send to any receiver).
- Add new INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL permission for
more restricted cross-user interaction: this is required
for android:singleUser, and allows you to use
sendBroadcastAsUser() but only to send to your own
receivers.

This puts in most of the infrastructure needed to allow us to
switch between different densities at run time. The main remaining
uses of the global are to initialize the Bitmap object (not sure
what to do about that since it doesn't have anything passed in
the constructor to get this information from), and being able to
load drawables if we need a different density than what was preloaded
by zygote.

We only support a few basic kinds of wake locks. Rather than
pretend that we could support other weird combinations of features,
just get rid of the feature bits.
Deprecated other wake lock types. We really want to encourage
developers to use FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON instead of managing
their own wake locks, even though its behavior is not
exactly equivalent.

The purpose of this change is to remove direct reliance on
SurfaceFlinger for describing the size and characteristics of
displays.
This patch also starts to make a distinction between logical displays
and physical display devices. Currently, the window manager owns
the concept of a logical display whereas the new display
manager owns the concept of a physical display device.

Add getElapsedRealtimeNano():
Currently Location just has getTime() and setTime() based on UTC time.
This is entirely unreliable since it is not guaranteed monotonic.
There is a lot of code that compares fix age based on deltas -
and it is all broken in the case of a system clock change. System
clock can change when switching cellular networks (and in some
cases when switching towers).
Document the meaning of getAccuracy():
It is the horizontal, 95% confidence radius.
Make some fields mandatory if they are reported by a LocationProvider:
All Locations returned by a LocationProvider must include at the
minimum a lat, long, timestamps, and accuracy. This is necessary
to perform fused location. There are no public API's for applications
to feed locations into a location provider so this should not cause
any breakage.
If a LocationProvider does not fill in enough fields on a Location
object then it is dropped, and logged.

glGetShaderSource, glGetActiveAttrib and glGetActiveUniform.
the old functions are still there and need to be @hide later.
