kreativa Member Licensed User Longtime User Sep 5, 2017 #1 Hi, just a question. I'm working with gps. When the gps is not enabled i use StartActivity(gps1.LocationSettingsIntent) and the app moves the users in the preference panel to enable gps. Everything works properly but is it possible to enable gps without leaving the app? thanks!

eps Expert Licensed User Longtime User Sep 5, 2017 #3 I think you can - but be careful as you also need to switch it off when your App isn't running. 1) You need to request setting of the GPS in the manifest. See here : https://developer.android.com/training/location/change-location-settings.html 2) Check the min SDK level 3) See here - but I'm not sure how to implement it in B4A.... https://stackoverflow.com/questions...programmatically-on-android/33555732#33555732 and this http://www.digitstory.com/enable-gps-automatically-android/#.Wa7Cg601RAY But it should be possible with a little jiggery pokery.

eps Expert Licensed User Longtime User Sep 5, 2017 #5 But surely some Apps do this - or can no Apps now do this on newer versions of Android? Upvote 0
