Android Question how to Activate GPS width app

[Roberto P.]

Hi to all,
I have to manage the automatic positioning device with GPS library and I have to be able to activate the positioning enabled automatically with Runtime Permissions, from the application, and without the user's permission.

How can I do it?

Thank you

I'm not sure that I understand. The LOCATION permission is considered a "dangerous" permission. This means that if you set the targetSdkVersion to 23+ then you can only use location features after the user has grant you the required permission.

The GPS example was updated recently to handle the runtime permission: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/6592/#content

If you don't want to ask the user for permission then set the targetSdkVersion to 22 and don't use the runtime permissions feature at all.

HI Erel
I would like to enable GPS from the app without asking user permission. With SDK last update.

I read that it is dangerous permissions.
thank you

It is not possible to enable the GPS programatically on new versions of Android (it is not related to the runtime permissions feature).
