Public bug reported: As a result of bug 1434379, QA wanted to check if there could be a way (cmdline/API) to know, from the location-service itself, when the GPS hardware is active or not.
Basically the only reliable way to know that is by checking /system/bin/logcat, and retrieving the GPS HAL logs. Having such call could allow us to create regression tests that could check for bug 1434379 (and similar ones). ** Affects: location-service (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1440852 Title: Need a way to tell our userspace if GPS is currently active or not To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/location-service/+bug/1440852/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
