Check if user disable GPS in settings in android

There is any solution to check if user disable GPS in settings?
I open my app, open top toolbar of android system, disable GPS and close this toolbar. In this moment I want to app check if status of GPS was changed.
I use check if GPS is active in onResume(), but this solution works only when user enable GPS, when disable onResume() is not called.
Any ideas?
Edit:
This is may class:
public class PrivacyActivity extends BaseActivity implements GpsStatus.Listener, LocationListener{
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_privacy);
}
#Override
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
}
#Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
}
#Override
public void onGpsStatusChanged(int event) {
switch (event) {
case GpsStatus.GPS_EVENT_SATELLITE_STATUS:
Toast.makeText(this, "ads", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
break;
case GpsStatus.GPS_EVENT_FIRST_FIX:
Toast.makeText(this, "ads1", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
break;
}
}
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
}
#Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "ads2", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
#Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "ads2", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
#Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "ads2", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
and when I disable gps I didn't see toast.

You can use the LocationListener class
// Acquire a reference to the system Location Manager
LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) this.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
// Define a listener that responds to location updates
LocationListener locationListener = new LocationListener() {
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
// Called when a new location is found by the network location provider.
makeUseOfNewLocation(location);
}
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {}
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
Log.i("Example", "GPS is ON");
}
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
Log.i("Example", "GPS is OFF");
}
};
// Register the listener with the Location Manager to receive location updates
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 0, 0, locationListener);
You can get more info in http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/location/strategies.html

Reference the locationListener first.
LocationListener locationListener;
locationListener = new LocationListener() {
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
LatLng myPlace = new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());
mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(myPlace).title("me"));
mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(myPlace));
mMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(8.0f));
}
#Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
}
#Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
}
#Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS);
startActivity(intent);
}
};
onProviderDisabled method will be fired if the user has disabled GPS from settings.
The intent inside the method will take the user to location settings directly.
Tested and works fine.

How to get initial location with LocationManager?

I've been getting current location with GoogleApiClient up until now but I've just noticed that it's much simpler to do it with LocationManager using LocationListener since it can even detect when GPS service was turned on or off by the user.
But I have a problem when getting user's first location after the LocationManager was initialized.
LocationManager has 4 listeners but none of them give you your first location. It does have a onLocationChanged listener but it only activates when you move.
This is how I'm using it:
// Init LocationManager (needed to track if GPS is turned on or not
locationManager = (LocationManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0, this);
end of oncreate......
/*
LocationListener (Listening if GPS service is turned on/off)
*/
#Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
}
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
}
#Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
}
#Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
}

How to observe Gps Provider continually?

I want to know when the GPS on the device is tuned on, and the location is changed.
Here is what I've done:
LocationManager mlocManager = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
LocationListener mlocListener = new MyLocationListener();
mlocManager.requestLocationUpdates( LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0, mlocListener);
public class MyLocationListener implements LocationListener
{
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location loc)
{
Toast.makeText( getApplicationContext(),"onlocation changed",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider)
{
Toast.makeText( getApplicationContext(),"providerdisabled",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider)
{
Toast.makeText( getApplicationContext(),"provideenabled",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras)
{
}
}
It is working fine when my app runs in the foreground, but when I close it, I won't get any more updates. I'd like to know how to get this information continuosly until my application is uninstalled.

You need to put this in a service and start the service sticky.
Also you should think about using the FusedLocationManager by using GooglePlayServices.

Android GPS onLocationChanged never called

I have an android application and I would like to obtain the location.
For this I follow the android documentation, but it doesn't work. The onLocationChanged method is never called.
public class GPSTestActivity extends Activity
{
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) this.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
if (locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER))
{
Toast.makeText(this, "GPS available", 3000).show();
}
else
{
Toast.makeText(this, "GPS not available", 3000).show();
}
LocationListener locationListener = new LocationListener()
{
public void onLocationChanged(Location location)
{
System.out.println("RECEIVED LOCATION");
}
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras)
{
}
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider)
{
}
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider)
{
}
};
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0, locationListener);
}
}
In the AndroidManifest.mf I've include the permision:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
I'm trying to test the application with the emulator in DDMS console. I set a longitude and a latitude, then presss the send button, but the onLocationChanged method is not called.
What I'm doing wrong?
Thank in advance

put parms to the call:
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 1000, 10f, locationListener);

I've found the problem.
I was testing with Android 2.3.3. and there is a bug. Testing with Google API (Level 10) works perfect.

NETWORK_PROVIDER always returns 0.0 0.0

i have a problem with a network_provider.
Here is my LocationListener:
`private final class LocListener implements LocationListener{
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
if(location != null){
latitude = location.getLatitude();
longitude = location.getLongitude();
}else Log.i("locListener", "null");
}
#Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
}
#Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
}
#Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
}
}`
Here's my listener for coordinates:
private void gpsListener(){
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,
0, 0, this.locListener);
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER,
0, 0, this.locListener2);
}
I want retrieve location indoor too, it's the reason to use network_provider.
But when I'm indoor method onLocationChanged() doesn't calls.
All needed permissions I added to manifest file.
Oh, and I want to retrieve location from cell towers without using Wi-Fi or other connections
Thanks for replies
