summary: "Location command for nodes (location.get), permission modes, and Android foreground behavior"
|
|

|
|
- Adding location node support or permissions UI
|
|
- Designing Android location permissions or foreground behavior
|
|
title: "Location command"
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## TL;DR
|
|
|
|
- `location.get` is a node command, invoked via `node.invoke` or `openclaw nodes location get`.
|
|
- Off by default.
|
|
- Android third-party builds use a selector: Off / While Using / Always. Play builds remain Off / While Using.
|
|
- Precise Location is a separate toggle.
|
|
|
|
## Why a selector (not just a switch)
|
|
|
|
OS location permissions are multi-level. Precise location is a separate OS grant too (iOS 14+ "Precise", Android "fine" vs "coarse"). The in-app selector drives the requested mode, but the OS still decides the actual grant.
|
|
|
|
## Settings model
|
|
|
|
Per node device:
|
|
|
|
- `location.enabledMode`: `off | whileUsing | always`
|
|
- `location.preciseEnabled`: bool
|
|
|
|
UI behavior:
|
|
|
|
- Selecting `whileUsing` requests foreground permission.
|
|
- Selecting `always` in the Android third-party build first requests foreground permission, explains the background access, then opens Android app settings for the separate **Allow all the time** grant.
|
|
- Android Play builds do not declare background location permission or show `always`.
|
|
- If the OS denies the requested level, the app reverts to the highest granted level and shows status.
|
|
|
|
## Permissions mapping (node.permissions)
|
|
|
|
Optional. The macOS node reports `location` via the `permissions` map on `node.list`/`node.describe`; iOS/Android may omit it.
|
|
|
|
## Command: `location.get`
|
|
|
|
Called via `node.invoke`, or the CLI helper:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
openclaw nodes location get --node <idOrNameOrIp>
|
|
openclaw nodes location get --node <idOrNameOrIp> --accuracy precise --max-age 15000 --location-timeout 10000
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Params:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"timeoutMs": 10000,
|
|
"maxAgeMs": 15000,
|
|
"desiredAccuracy": "coarse|balanced|precise"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
CLI flags map directly: `--location-timeout` -> `timeoutMs`, `--max-age` -> `maxAgeMs`, `--accuracy` -> `desiredAccuracy`.
|
|
|
|
Response payload:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"lat": 48.20849,
|
|
"lon": 16.37208,
|
|
"accuracyMeters": 12.5,
|
|
"altitudeMeters": 182.0,
|
|
"speedMps": 0.0,
|
|
"headingDeg": 270.0,
|
|
"timestamp": "2026-01-03T12:34:56.000Z",
|
|
"isPrecise": true,
|
|
"source": "gps|wifi|cell|unknown"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Errors (stable codes):
|
|
|
|
- `LOCATION_DISABLED`: selector is off.
|
|
- `LOCATION_PERMISSION_REQUIRED`: permission missing for requested mode.
|
|
- `LOCATION_BACKGROUND_UNAVAILABLE`: app is backgrounded but only While Using is granted.
|
|
- `LOCATION_TIMEOUT`: no fix in time.
|
|
- `LOCATION_UNAVAILABLE`: system failure or no providers.
|
|
|
|
## Background behavior
|
|
|
|
- Android third-party builds accept background `location.get` only when the user selected `Always` and Android granted background location. The existing persistent node service adds the `location` service type and discloses `Location: Always` while active.
|
|
- Android Play builds and `While Using` mode deny `location.get` while backgrounded.
|
|
- Other node platforms may differ.
|
|
|
|
## Model/tooling integration
|
|
|
|
- Agent tool: the `nodes` tool's `location_get` action (node required).
|
|
- CLI: `openclaw nodes location get --node <id>`.
|
|
- Agent guidelines: only call when the user enabled location and understands the scope.
|
|
|
|
## UX copy (suggested)
|
|
|
|
- Off: "Location sharing is disabled."
|
|
- While Using: "Only when OpenClaw is open."
|
|
- Always: "Allow requested location checks while OpenClaw is in the background."
|
|
- Precise: "Use precise GPS location. Toggle off to share approximate location."
