Android Question SetServiceAttribute - what exactly is the third parameter ?

[amorosik]

On post Gps Background Tracking appear a line to insert in manifest file

SetServiceAttribute(Tracker, android:foregroundServiceType, "location")

'Tracker' is a service module name
'android:foregroundServiceType' is a service type required
But what is exactly "location" ?

 

[roumei]

"location" is the foregroundServiceType. More info: https://developer.android.com/guide/components/foreground-services

 

[amorosik]

"location" is the foregroundServiceType. More info: https://developer.android.com/guide/components/foreground-services

Then the third parameter can be 'location' or 'camera' or 'microphone', is correct ?

According to the Android Docs, yes (with API level 30). I haven't tried it, though.
