Geolocation using cell id

My android app should开发者_StackOverflow中文版 determine approximate phone location using cell id. This is possible using Gears Geolocation API, but I've no idea how to organize the request to Gears server and data exchange. Does anybody have the information about the issue?

Android applications find out their location using LocationManager. Gears, to the extent it exists anymore (didn't Google get rid of it recently?), is for a Web site, not an Android app.
