Gps Detector - Android Library

When GPS disabled shows a dialog and on accept enable it without a need to open android settings

Installation

  • Add the dependency from jCenter to your app's (not project) build.gradle file:
repositories {
    jcenter()
}

dependencies {
    compile 'net.alexandroid.utils:gps:1.6'
}

If you experiencing version conflicts with play services libraries use exclude as shown below:

compile ('net.alexandroid.utils:gps:1.6') {
    exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms', module: 'play-services-location'
    exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms', module: 'play-services-gcm'
}

How to use it

  • Implement GpsStatusDetectorCallBack interface and it methods
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity 
        implements GpsStatusDetector.GpsStatusDetectorCallBack { 

If boolean is true gps is enabled and vice versa.

@Override
public void onGpsSettingStatus(boolean enabled) {
    // Your code
}

If GPS disabled and dialog that offers to enable GPS shown. If User refuse this method invoked. Please note that onGpsSettingStatus(false) also invoked.

 @Override
public void onGpsAlertCanceledByUser() {
  // Your code
}  

  • Create GpsStatusDetector instance, invoke checkGpsStatus() method where you need.
private GpsStatusDetector mGpsStatusDetector;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    mGpsStatusDetector = new GpsStatusDetector(this);
    mGpsStatusDetector.checkGpsStatus();
}
  • Override onActivityResult and add checkOnActivityResult() method as shown below:
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    mGpsStatusDetector.checkOnActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode);
}  

Thats it. You are ready to go!

Fragment support

Add this in your activity class:

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    for (Fragment fragment : getSupportFragmentManager().getFragments()) {
        fragment.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    }
}
