Which permission do I have to add to the manifest to get gps sensor readings?

Question

Which permission needs my application to get access to the location of the user on Android?

Solution

you need:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />

outside the application tag in your AndroidManifest.xml

FINE_LOCATION will get you GPS or android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION which i think will return GPS coords if available. if not it will use wifi or cell-id developer.android.com/reference/android/…
