/**@class android.location.LocationProvider
@extends java.lang.Object

 An abstract superclass for location providers.  A location provider
 provides periodic reports on the geographical location of the
 device.

 <p> Each provider has a set of criteria under which it may be used;
 for example, some providers require GPS hardware and visibility to
 a number of satellites; others require the use of the cellular
 radio, or access to a specific carrier's network, or to the
 internet.  They may also have different battery consumption
 characteristics or monetary costs to the user.  The {@link android.location.Criteria} class allows providers to be selected based on
 user-specified criteria.
