Android device GPS on/off programmatically

Question

I am using following code for GPS on/off.

//Enable GPS
Intent intent = new Intent(\"android.location.GPS_ENABLED_CHANGE\");
intent.putExtra(\"enabled\", true         


        

Answer 1

Use this for turning GPS ON and reverse the condition to put GPS OFF

Intent intent = new Intent("android.location.GPS_ENABLED_CHANGE");
 intent.putExtra("enabled", true);
 this.ctx.sendBroadcast(intent);

String provider = Settings.Secure.getString(ctx.getContentResolver(), Settings.Secure.LOCATION_PROVIDERS_ALLOWED);
if(!provider.contains("gps")){ //if gps is disabled
    final Intent poke = new Intent();
    poke.setClassName("com.android.settings", "com.android.settings.widget.SettingsAppWidgetProvider"); 
    poke.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_ALTERNATIVE);
    poke.setData(Uri.parse("3")); 
    this.ctx.sendBroadcast(poke);


}
