Description
It is advised by Google (https://developer.android.com/develop/sensors-and-location/location/migration) to use Play services instead of framework API (what we use now for location,..). These Play services are actively maintaned by Google and should ease of use of Android API.
It seems like a way to go in the near future (if allowed by Qt)
