I have been seeing different posts that GPS cannot be enabled programmatically How do I find out if the GPS of an Android device is enabled
But this app enables the GPS when it is disabled. Can anyone please help me out.
Thanks,
Prateek
If the documentation said that it can’t be set programmatically, I suggest you not to do so. There are many impacts why the documentation said that. And if someone was able to do that (enabling the GPS programmatically), it means he/she doing something that was undocumented.
Activating GPS requires user’s permission. If your application was able to activate the GPS without notifying the users (furthermore, asking for the user’s permission), you might violate the privacy policy.
