Restrict LocationServices (Play services 5.0)

[M66B]

Could be the same as LocationClient.

LocationClient says "deprecated":
https://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/gms/location/LocationClient.html

but com.google.android.gms.location.LocationServices is nowhere to find, except for in the documentation.

Maybe this will be in Android "L".

Seems to be part of Play services 5.0.
The SDK seems not yet available.

Unfortunately Play services classes are obfuscated now, so it may not be possible to restrict this.

Hmm so what does that mean? We have to block our location for all Play Services at once if we don't want the location service to get it? Or...

[M66B]

@Cerberus-tm yes, it will probably be all at once :-(

Hmm OK. That is unfortunate, but then again, if Google knows our location through one way, it knows it anyway, so perhaps it doesn't matter if we have to let it see our location through all its other services too. So perhaps it makes little difference.
