public int HardwareClockDiscontinuityCount { [Android.Runtime.Register("getHardwareClockDiscontinuityCount", "()I", "", ApiSince=24)] get; }
[<get: Android.Runtime.Register("getHardwareClockDiscontinuityCount", "()I", "", ApiSince=24)>]
member this.HardwareClockDiscontinuityCount : int

Property Value

Attributes

Remarks

Gets count of hardware clock discontinuities.

When this value stays the same, vs. a value in a previously reported GnssClock, it can be safely assumed that the TimeNanos value has been derived from a clock that has been running continuously - e.g. a single continuously powered crystal oscillator, and thus the (FullBiasNanos + BiasNanos) offset can be modelled with traditional clock bias &amp; drift models.

Each time this value changes, vs. the value in a previously reported GnssClock, that suggests the hardware clock may have experienced a discontinuity (e.g. a power cycle or other anomaly), so that any assumptions about modelling a smoothly changing (FullBiasNanos + BiasNanos) offset, and a smoothly growing (TimeNanos) between this and the previously reported GnssClock, should be reset.
