Question

I want to create an Activity in Android 2.3 when the application starts that checks some needed things by the application, then puts a check sign and then the text of the thing that is checked.

For example:

1. “GPS Provider enabled” text is shown, if it is enabled, then a check sign appears on its left (if not a stop sign)
2. Below the first one, “Network Provider enabled” text is shown, if it is enabled, then a check sign appears on its left (if not a stop
   sign)

And so on.

I’d like to make it as an animation, if possible. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

In your activity’s onResume() write this below code to check if GPS/Network Provider enabled of not and depending on that write your other code.

    final LocationManager manager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);

    if (!manager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER)) {
        // available
    }
    else
    {
        //not available
    }

    if (!manager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER)) {
        // available
    }
    else
    {
        //not available
    }

Use ToggelButtons to indicate if they are available or not.
