How to check if LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER is available?

Use this Part to check whether Network Provider is Enabled or Not :

network_enabled=locManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);

This will return a boolean values :

true– if enabled.

false – not enabled.

additionally for checking if GPS Provider Enabled :

gps_enabled=locManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);

This will return a boolean values :

true– if enabled.

false – not enabled.

If you want the user to Enable Network or GPS Provider use this code to redirect user to Settings Page :

startActivityForResult(new Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS), 0);
