Is GPS activated - Flutter
Using the latest version of Geolocator 5.0
var isGpsEnabled = await Geolocator().isLocationServiceEnabled();
I use this method to check and enable the Gps if disabled.
Future _checkGps() async {
if (!(await Geolocator().isLocationServiceEnabled())) {
if (Theme.of(context).platform == TargetPlatform.android) {
showDialog(
context: context,
builder: (BuildContext context) {
return AlertDialog(
title: Text("Can't get gurrent location"),
content:
const Text('Please make sure you enable GPS and try again'),
actions: <Widget>[
FlatButton(
child: Text('Ok'),
onPressed: () {
final AndroidIntent intent = AndroidIntent(
action: 'android.settings.LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS');
intent.launch();
Navigator.of(context, rootNavigator: true).pop();
},
),
],
);
},
);
}
}
}
Update: (Geolocator 8.0.1)
bool isLocationEnabled = await Geolocator.isLocationServiceEnabled();
Previous solution:
Accepted answer uses outdated plugin, you can use Geolocator plugin,
var geoLocator = Geolocator();
var status = await geoLocator.checkGeolocationPermissionStatus();
if (status == GeolocationStatus.denied)
// Take user to permission settings
else if (status == GeolocationStatus.disabled)
// Take user to location page
else if (status == GeolocationStatus.restricted)
// Restricted
else if (status == GeolocationStatus.unknown)
// Unknown
else if (status == GeolocationStatus.granted)
// Permission granted and location enabled
Update 2019/10/25
The location package now has a function (serviceEnabled()
) to detect whether the location service is enabled and returns a bool as described in its docs and shown in the example:
bool serviceStatus = await _locationService.serviceEnabled();
if (service) {
// service enabled
} else {
// service not enabled, restricted or permission denied
}
Old answer (package outdated)
With geolocations you can check wether the location service is operational. It generally includes more customizability then the location package.
final GeolocationResult result = await Geolocation.isLocationOperational();
if(result.isSuccessful) {
// location service is enabled, and location permission is granted
} else {
// location service is not enabled, restricted, or location permission is denied
}
