NetworkLocationProvider

[lisztkao]

As far as I know, NetworkLocationProvider has been phased out since android 1.5. However, there are many network location providers such as :

com.google.Android.location.network.NetworkLocationService
com.baidu.map.location.BaiduNetworkLocationService
com.amap.android.location.NetworkLocationService
com.qualcomm.location.nlp.NlpProxyService

Does Freescale codebase support network location? How we to add such provider in our codebase?
