Android GPS on or off state

Is there any way to check if the Android GPS is on or off without any permission, just the state I开发者_运维问答 don't need to toggle it.

Thanks

No. Checking GPS Status on Android requires

android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION

The code to check the status of GPS

 LocationManager manager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE );
 boolean statusOfGPS = manager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);

steps -

1. Create services running in backgroud

2. You require following permission in Manifest file too -

   android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
   

3. write code

    final LocationManager manager = (LocationManager)context.getSystemService    (Context.LOCATION_SERVICE );
   
   if ( !manager.isProviderEnabled( LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER ) )
   
   //what you want to do
    else
   
      //what you want to do
   

4. Or simply you can check

   LocationManager manager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE );
   boolean statusOfGPS = manager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
   

5. run your services continuous to monitor connection

6. call your services from Activity

If you want to check the condition of GPS that whether it is ON or OFF, then this solution will help you

final LocationManager manager = (LocationManager)context.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE );

if ( !manager.isProviderEnabled( LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER ) )
  Toast.makeText(context, "GPS is disable!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); 
else
 Toast.makeText(context, "GPS is Enable!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
