Android GPS on or off

Question

Is there a way to check if Android GPS is turned on or off without any permission, just a state that I don't need to switch.

thanks

Answer 1

Not. Android status required to check GPS status

android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION 

GPS Status Check Code

 LocationManager manager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE ); boolean statusOfGPS = manager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER); 

Answer 2

steps -

• Creating services running in backgroud

• You also need the following permission in the manifest file -

   android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION 

• write code

    final LocationManager manager = (LocationManager)context.getSystemService (Context.LOCATION_SERVICE ); if ( !manager.isProviderEnabled( LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER ) ) //what you want to do else //what you want to do 

• Or just you can check

   LocationManager manager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE ); boolean statusOfGPS = manager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER); 

• constantly run services to monitor the connection

• calling your services from Activity

If you want to check the GPS status that it is on or off, this solution will help you

 final LocationManager manager = (LocationManager)context.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE ); if ( !manager.isProviderEnabled( LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER ) ) Toast.makeText(context, "GPS is disable!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); else Toast.makeText(context, "GPS is Enable!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
