Turn on location services without navigating to settings page

Its Working Similar to google maps

Add Dependency in build.gradle file

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.3.0'

This dialog is created by LocationSettingsRequest.Builder available in the Google Play Services.

You need to add a dependency to your app build.gradle:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:10.0.1'

Then you can use this minimal example:

private void displayLocationSettingsRequest(Context context) {
    GoogleApiClient googleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(context)
            .addApi(LocationServices.API).build();
    googleApiClient.connect();

    LocationRequest locationRequest = LocationRequest.create();
    locationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
    locationRequest.setInterval(10000);
    locationRequest.setFastestInterval(10000 / 2);

    LocationSettingsRequest.Builder builder = new LocationSettingsRequest.Builder().addLocationRequest(locationRequest);
    builder.setAlwaysShow(true);

    PendingResult<LocationSettingsResult> result = LocationServices.SettingsApi.checkLocationSettings(googleApiClient, builder.build());
    result.setResultCallback(new ResultCallback<LocationSettingsResult>() {
        @Override
        public void onResult(LocationSettingsResult result) {
            final Status status = result.getStatus();
            switch (status.getStatusCode()) {
                case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.SUCCESS:
                    Log.i(TAG, "All location settings are satisfied.");
                    break;
                case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.RESOLUTION_REQUIRED:
                    Log.i(TAG, "Location settings are not satisfied. Show the user a dialog to upgrade location settings ");

                    try {
                        // Show the dialog by calling startResolutionForResult(), and check the result
                        // in onActivityResult().
                        status.startResolutionForResult(MainActivity.this, REQUEST_CHECK_SETTINGS);
                    } catch (IntentSender.SendIntentException e) {
                        Log.i(TAG, "PendingIntent unable to execute request.");
                    }
                    break;
                case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.SETTINGS_CHANGE_UNAVAILABLE:
                    Log.i(TAG, "Location settings are inadequate, and cannot be fixed here. Dialog not created.");
                    break;
            }
        }
    });
}

You can find the complete example here.


Follow the steps mentioned below

1) Create a LocationRequest as per your wish

LocationRequest mLocationRequest = LocationRequest.create()
           .setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY)
           .setInterval(10 * 1000)
           .setFastestInterval(1 * 1000);

2) Create a LocationSettingsRequest.Builder

LocationSettingsRequest.Builder settingsBuilder = new LocationSettingsRequest.Builder()
               .addLocationRequest(mLocationRequest);
settingsBuilder.setAlwaysShow(true);

3) Get LocationSettingsResponse Task using following code

Task<LocationSettingsResponse> result = LocationServices.getSettingsClient(this)
              .checkLocationSettings(settingsBuilder.build());

Note: LocationServices.SettingsApi is deprecated so, use SettingsClient Instead.

4) Add a OnCompleteListener to get the result from the Task.When the Task completes, the client can check the location settings by looking at the status code from the LocationSettingsResponse object.

result.addOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener<LocationSettingsResponse>() {
    @Override
    public void onComplete(@NonNull Task<LocationSettingsResponse> task) {
    try {
        LocationSettingsResponse response = 
                          task.getResult(ApiException.class);
        } catch (ApiException ex) {
            switch (ex.getStatusCode()) {
                case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.RESOLUTION_REQUIRED:
                    try {
                        ResolvableApiException resolvableApiException = 
                                 (ResolvableApiException) ex;
                            resolvableApiException
                                   .startResolutionForResult(MapsActivity.this, 
                                         LOCATION_SETTINGS_REQUEST);
                    } catch (IntentSender.SendIntentException e) {

                    }
                    break;
                case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.SETTINGS_CHANGE_UNAVAILABLE:

                    break;
            }
        }
    }
});  

CASE 1: LocationSettingsStatusCodes.RESOLUTION_REQUIRED : Location is not enabled but, we can ask the user to enable the location by prompting him to turn on the location with the dialog (by calling startResolutionForResult).

Google Map Location Settings Request

CASE 2: LocationSettingsStatusCodes.SETTINGS_CHANGE_UNAVAILABLE : Location settings are not satisfied. However, we have no way to fix the settings so we won't show the dialog.

5) OnActivityResult we can get the user action in the location settings dialog. RESULT_OK => User turned on the Location. RESULT_CANCELLED - User declined the location setting request.
