Preferences: getLong() for Lat/Lng + follow_location_changes

1. in PlacesUpdateService and PassiveLocationChangedReceiver, the type for
latitude/longitude values stored in SharedPreferences is long. This causes the
stored values to be clipped losing the decimals.
=> Needs conversion to float, or to be multiplied by 1E6 (microdegrees):
save in SharedPreferences with prefs.putInt(lat * 1E6)
use with loc.setLatitude(prefsLat / 1E6)
this would be more consistant with GeoPoint's getLatitudeE6() and
getLongitudeE6()
2. Compared to this (great!) tutorial, I actually implemented
SP_KEY_FOLLOW_LOCATION_CHANGES into a Preferences activity. When set to false,
it creates an
IllegalArgumentException: Receiver not registered
in disableLocationUpdates() when calling
unregisterReceiver(locProviderDisabledReceiver)
=> Needs verification or try/catch.
Thanks for this very helpful tutorial. I have also implemented many of the
issues reported here...
