How to improve GPS location Accuracy in Android

So does anyone know how to improve the GPS location accura

Answer 1

Since API 9 you can use some constants for the setAccuracy method

lm = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
criteria.setAccuracy(Criteria.ACCURACY_HIGH);  
lm.getBestProvider(criteria, true);

ACCURACY_HIGH less than 100 meters
ACCURACY_MEDIUM between 100 - 500 meters
ACCURACY_LOW greater than 500 meters

here are the details
