How to get the Location information of a device using android management API

Question

@Fred, Using Android Management API how can we get the Location information of a device. Do we need to install any 3rd party application to get the location? How Location modes impact Location information?

Answer 1

There is currently no way to do this using Android Management API. You can use a policy to enable the location mode but you will need another 3rd party application to get the location of the device. You can check this post on how to set the location policy.

For the location mode options, you can refer to this link. However, for devices running Android 9 and 10, setting the locationmode to any mode other than OFF or LOCATION_DISABLED will just turn on the location.
