I use a few apps that use the location services within Android, but for the most part I would like to keep these three off until I need them:

Use Wireless Networks
Use GPS Satellites
Location and Google Services

I would like to design an app that can one click toggle these three. So I have have two questions.

  1. Is there a way to do that, or is the only way to toggle them is by using:

android.provider.Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS

And then doing it manually? And….

  1. If a few apps are using access course location and access fine location, does it even matter that I have these toggled off? Can they still get my location?

Thanks for the input.

    Is there a way to do that

    Not via the Android SDK on any modern version of the operating system.

    If a few apps are using access course location and access fine location, does it even matter that I have these toggled off? Can they still get my location?

    No. Those location providers are disabled, and therefore are not available for use while they remain disabled.
