Recognize task event

[Shay]

Hi

is there a way to recognize task event, such as turning on GPS
without using timer, to check every x seconds that someone turned on or off the GPS

I noticed that such action, does not trigger the activity resume or pause

I think this tutorial will tell you: http://www.b4x.com/forum/basic4android-getting-started-tutorials/6592-gps-tutorial.html

Use:

Sub GPS_UserEnabled (Enabled As Boolean)
    ToastMessageShow("GPS device enabled = " & Enabled, True)
End Sub

no this does not recognize if I click on GPS from the task area

You can check in Activity_Resume whether the GPS is enabled or not. If it is not enable use StartActivity to show the GPS settings page. When the user returns to your application Activity_Resume will be called again.

none of the events are been fired, since you never exit the app
(sliding the task down and enabling GPS)

Not all devices allow you to change the GPS settings from the notifications bar. You can explicitly call:

If GPS1.GPSEnabled = False Then StartActivity(GPS1.LocationSettingsIntent)

This will work for all devices and will allow you to handle the events.
