Redirect to location settings using cordova in android

Question

Here is the requirements what i am trying to implement in my cordova android application

1. When user enters the home page check to see if the gps is enabled

Answer 1

You can achieve this using the cordova-diagnostic-plugin. Once installed, you call it via JS something like:

cordova.plugins.diagnostic.switchToLocationSettings();

UPDATE

You can use cordova-plugin-request-location-accuracy to request high accuracy location mode (i.e. GPS) directly from within the app. This will show a native confirm dialog and if user agrees, GPS will be enabled automatically with requiring user to manually change settings:

function onRequestSuccess(success){
    console.log("Successfully requested accuracy: "+success.message);
}

function onRequestFailure(error){
    console.error("Accuracy request failed: error code="+error.code+"; error message="+error.message);
    if(error.code !== cordova.plugins.locationAccuracy.ERROR_USER_DISAGREED){
        if(window.confirm("Failed to automatically set Location Mode to 'High Accuracy'. Would you like to switch to the Location Settings page and do this manually?")){
            cordova.plugins.diagnostic.switchToLocationSettings();
        }
    }
}

cordova.plugins.locationAccuracy.request(onRequestSuccess, onRequestFailure, cordova.plugins.locationAccuracy.REQUEST_PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
