Remarks

Same as #addMslAltitudeToLocation(Context, Location) except that this method can be called on the main thread as data will not be loaded from raw assets. Returns true if a Mean Sea Level altitude is added to the location; otherwise, returns false and leaves the location unchanged.

Prior calls to #addMslAltitudeToLocation(Context, Location) off the main thread are necessary to load data from raw assets. Example code on the main thread is as follows:

{@code
              if (!mAltitudeConverter.tryAddMslAltitudeToLocation(location)) {
                  // Queue up only one call off the main thread.
                  if (mIsAltitudeConverterIdle) {
                      mIsAltitudeConverterIdle = false;
                      executeOffMainThread(() -> {
                          try {
                              // Load raw assets for next call attempt on main thread.
                              mAltitudeConverter.addMslAltitudeToLocation(mContext, location);
                          } catch (IOException e) {
                              Log.e(TAG, "Not loading raw assets: " + e);
                          }
                          mIsAltitudeConverterIdle = true;
                      });
                  }
              }
            }
