How to enable Location access programmatically in android?
Here is a simple way of programmatically enabling location like Maps app:
protected void enableLocationSettings() {
LocationRequest locationRequest = LocationRequest.create()
.setInterval(LOCATION_UPDATE_INTERVAL)
.setFastestInterval(LOCATION_UPDATE_FASTEST_INTERVAL)
.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
LocationSettingsRequest.Builder builder = new LocationSettingsRequest.Builder()
.addLocationRequest(locationRequest);
LocationServices
.getSettingsClient(this)
.checkLocationSettings(builder.build())
.addOnSuccessListener(this, (LocationSettingsResponse response) -> {
// startUpdatingLocation(...);
})
.addOnFailureListener(this, ex -> {
if (ex instanceof ResolvableApiException) {
// Location settings are NOT satisfied, but this can be fixed by showing the user a dialog.
try {
// Show the dialog by calling startResolutionForResult(), and check the result in onActivityResult().
ResolvableApiException resolvable = (ResolvableApiException) ex;
resolvable.startResolutionForResult(TrackingListActivity.this, REQUEST_CODE_CHECK_SETTINGS);
} catch (IntentSender.SendIntentException sendEx) {
// Ignore the error.
}
}
});
}
And onActivityResult:
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, @Nullable Intent data) {
if (REQUEST_CODE_CHECK_SETTINGS == requestCode) {
if(Activity.RESULT_OK == resultCode){
//user clicked OK, you can startUpdatingLocation(...);
}else{
//user clicked cancel: informUserImportanceOfLocationAndPresentRequestAgain();
}
}
}
You can see the documentation here: https://developer.android.com/training/location/change-location-settings
Use below code to check. If it is disabled, dialog box will be generated
public void statusCheck() {
final LocationManager manager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
if (!manager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER)) {
buildAlertMessageNoGps();
}
}
private void buildAlertMessageNoGps() {
final AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
builder.setMessage("Your GPS seems to be disabled, do you want to enable it?")
.setCancelable(false)
.setPositiveButton("Yes", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(final DialogInterface dialog, final int id) {
startActivity(new Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS));
}
})
.setNegativeButton("No", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(final DialogInterface dialog, final int id) {
dialog.cancel();
}
});
final AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
alert.show();
}
