Android Question GPS in App permissions

[Tomas Petrus]

Hi,

I have App with GPS. App can't work without It. I am using this code to check if It is allowed for device.

Phone1.GetSettings("location_providers_allowed")

Is there any way how to check It for one App? There is function for turn It off in app permissions (Android 6.0.1)

Thanks

If you target Api 23+ you need to USE the runtimepermissions. That´s how Android 6+ is designed. You can not shut it off. In a very long term you can expect that all new apps will use runtimepermissions.

All you can do is using the runtimepermissions lib or target your app to a Api below 23.

Note that the GPS example was updated and it now requests the permission at runtime: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/gps-tutorial.6592/
