How do hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_LOCATION_GPS) and LocationManagerCompat.isLocationEnabled(locationManager) interoperate and is the latter relevant here?

For example, if the watch has GPS, but Location is disabled in the settings, do these return true and false respectively, and does that matter in this use case?

Or does FEATURE_LOCATION_GPS already take into account whether location is enabled by the location setting?

Thanks for raising, it does NOT take into account whether location is enabled by the user setting. The current documentation doesn't mention it but I can add a new section and also mention this.

rereading https://developer.android.com/training/wearables/apps/location-detection#DetectGPS, this is for GPS only and there is another section for requesting permissions and in https://developer.android.com/develop/sensors-and-location/location/retrieve-current?#last-known (which is linked from the same page) it explains what happens when location is tuned off in settings.

In summary: I think this snippet works as it is as this section is only focusing on gps, other sections of the same page cover the other cases.

packageManager.hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_LOCATION_GPS)
}
// [END android_wear_location]

@Composable
fun WearApp(hasGps: () -> Boolean) {

val columnState = rememberTransformingLazyColumnState()
val contentPadding = rememberResponsiveColumnPadding(
first = ColumnItemType.ListHeader,
last = ColumnItemType.Button,
)
AppScaffold {
ScreenScaffold(
scrollState = columnState,
contentPadding = contentPadding
) { contentPadding ->
TransformingLazyColumn(
state = columnState,
contentPadding = contentPadding
) {
item {
ListHeader(
modifier = Modifier.fillMaxWidth()
) {
if (!hasGps()) {
Text(text = "This hardware doesn't have GPS")
// Fall back to functionality that doesn't use location or
// warn the user that location function isn't available.
}
else {
Text(text = "This hardware has GPS")
}
}
}
}
}
}
