Android Question FusedLocationProvider - number of satellites

[mo_alex]

Hello everyone, I have another question regarding the FusedLocationProvider.

Is it actually possible to query the number of satellites with the FLP?
Or do I have to initialize a GPS object?
And if so, wouldn't that interfere with the FLP's location updates?

No. FLP hides the underlying location source. There could be all kinds of location providers. The location data might not come from a satellite.
You should use the GPS library if you want to get more information about the satellites. It will not interfere with FLP.
