Abstract- In this paper, I present a Smartphone-based
autonomous management of Location. When developing a
location-aware application for Android, one can utilize GPS and
Android's Network Location Provider to acquire the user
location. Android's Network Location Provider determines user
location using cell tower and Wi-Fi signals, providing location
information in a way that works indoors and outdoors, responds
faster, and uses less battery power. To obtain the user location in
your application, one can use both GPS and the Network
Location Provider, or just one. Here one could track the positions
of the Android Device constantly for 2/4hrs and save them on a
well secured webpage. So that if a device is found to be in a
prohibited area it can be easily traced out. Hence it is very useful
for the military purposes. No unauthorized devices can enter or
leave the area without notification to the server. It can also help
to create a daily log of device i.e each and every location visited
by the device in a day.
