Constant location request on startup

So I am trying to make an app in Android Studio which needs location settings turned on and therefor I wanted to make that window pop up in onCreate that asks if you would like to turn on location settings. But after you press Abort I dont know how to bring that window back again...
Is there a way to do so? Because I have seen in some apps like Tinder, that they won't start until you have pressed a few times on the Abort button.
LocationRequest mLocationRequest;
GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;
PendingResult<LocationSettingsResult> result;
final static int REQUEST_LOCATION = 199;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
.addApi(LocationServices.API)
.addConnectionCallbacks(this)
.addOnConnectionFailedListener(this).build();
mGoogleApiClient.connect();
}
#Override
public void onConnected(Bundle bundle) {
mLocationRequest = LocationRequest.create();
mLocationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
mLocationRequest.setInterval(30 * 1000);
mLocationRequest.setFastestInterval(5 * 1000);
LocationSettingsRequest.Builder builder = new LocationSettingsRequest.Builder()
.addLocationRequest(mLocationRequest);
builder.setAlwaysShow(true);
result = LocationServices.SettingsApi.checkLocationSettings(mGoogleApiClient, builder.build());
result.setResultCallback(new ResultCallback<LocationSettingsResult>() {
#Override
public void onResult(LocationSettingsResult result) {
final Status status = result.getStatus();
Log.d("Status: ", result.toString());
//final LocationSettingsStates state = result.getLocationSettingsStates();
switch (status.getStatusCode()) {
case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.SUCCESS:
// All location settings are satisfied. The client can initialize location
// requests here.
//...
break;
case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.RESOLUTION_REQUIRED:
// Location settings are not satisfied. But could be fixed by showing the user
// a dialog.
try {
// Show the dialog by calling startResolutionForResult(),
// and check the result in onActivityResult().
status.startResolutionForResult(
MainActivity.this,
REQUEST_LOCATION);
} catch (IntentSender.SendIntentException e) {
// Ignore the error.
}
break;
case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.SETTINGS_CHANGE_UNAVAILABLE:
// Location settings are not satisfied. However, we have no way to fix the
// settings so we won't show the dialog.
//...
break;
}
}
});
}
#Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
{
Log.d("onActivityResult()", Integer.toString(resultCode) + "," + Integer.toBinaryString(requestCode));
switch (requestCode)
{
case REQUEST_LOCATION:
switch (resultCode)
{
case Activity.RESULT_OK:
{
// All required changes were successfully made
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Location enabled by user!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
break;
}
case Activity.RESULT_CANCELED:
{
// The user was asked to change settings, but chose not to
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Location not enabled, user cancelled.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
break;
}
default:
{
break;
}
}
break;
}
}
#Override
public void onConnectionSuspended(int i) {
}
#Override
public void onConnectionFailed(ConnectionResult connectionResult) {
}

Create methode
private void mGoogleApiClientConnect(){
mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
.addApi(LocationServices.API)
.addConnectionCallbacks(this)
.addOnConnectionFailedListener(this).build();
mGoogleApiClient.connect();
}
and call it here :
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mGoogleApiClientConnect();
}
and here :
case Activity.RESULT_CANCELED:
{
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Location not enabled, user cancelled.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
mGoogleApiClient.connect();
break;
}

How to disable location in android?

i want to switched on location like OLA cab so i am using this code:
private GoogleApiClient googleApiClient;final static int REQUEST_LOCATION = 199;public boolean noLocation() {
final LocationManager manager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
if (!manager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER)) {
// buildAlertMessageNoGps();
enableLoc();
return true;
}
return false;
}private void enableLoc() {if (googleApiClient == null) {
googleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
.addApi(LocationServices.API)
.addConnectionCallbacks(this)
.addOnConnectionFailedListener(new GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener() {
#Override
public void onConnectionFailed(ConnectionResult connectionResult) {
Timber.v("Location error " + connectionResult.getErrorCode());
}
}).build();
googleApiClient.connect();
LocationRequest locationRequest = LocationRequest.create();
locationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
locationRequest.setInterval(30 * 1000);
locationRequest.setFastestInterval(5 * 1000);
LocationSettingsRequest.Builder builder = new LocationSettingsRequest.Builder()
.addLocationRequest(locationRequest);
builder.setAlwaysShow(true);
PendingResult<LocationSettingsResult> result =
LocationServices.SettingsApi.checkLocationSettings(googleApiClient, builder.build());
result.setResultCallback(new ResultCallback<LocationSettingsResult>() {
#Override
public void onResult(LocationSettingsResult result) {
final Status status = result.getStatus();
switch (status.getStatusCode()) {
case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.RESOLUTION_REQUIRED:
try {
// Show the dialog by calling startResolutionForResult(),
// and check the result in onActivityResult().
status.startResolutionForResult(
(Activity) context, REQUEST_LOCATION);
} catch (IntentSender.SendIntentException e) {
// Ignore the error.
}
break;
}
}
});
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
switch (requestCode) {
case REQUEST_LOCATION:
switch (resultCode) {
case Activity.RESULT_CANCELED: {
finish();
break;
}
default: {
break;
}
}
break;
}
}
now it is working fine but i want to disable location using dialog, don't want to use intent for open setting screen.How is it possible?

Requesting for Location Services Android

I am using this code to for user to activate the location services. I want to show user dialog to accept to enable location services then redirect them to the LOCATION_SETTINGS Page. But Without the user accepting it from user it redirects to location settings.
if(lm==null)
lm = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
try{
gps_enabled = lm.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
}catch(Exception ex){}
try{
network_enabled = lm.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
}catch(Exception ex){}
if(!gps_enabled && !network_enabled){
dialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
dialog.setMessage(this.getResources().getString(R.string.gps_network_not_enabled));
dialog.setPositiveButton(this.getResources().getString(R.string.open_location_settings), new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface paramDialogInterface, int paramInt) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Intent myIntent = new Intent( Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS);
startActivity(myIntent);
//get gps
}
});
dialog.setNegativeButton(this.getString(R.string.Cancel), new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface paramDialogInterface, int paramInt) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
finish();
}
});
dialog.show();
}

As far as I understand you try to enable the location.
You can show a dialog to enable the location instead of redirect them to LOCATION_SETTING page.
Step by step process.
First you need to set a GoogleApiClient and implements GoogleApiClient CallBackMethods.
protected synchronized void buildGoogleApiClient() {
mGoogleApiClient = new Builder(this)
.addApi(LocationServices.API)
.addConnectionCallbacks(this)
.addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
.addApi(LocationServices.API).build();
mGoogleApiClient.connect();
}
CallBack Methods
#Override
public void onConnected(Bundle bundle) {
Log.d("OnConnected", "Connection successful");
settingsrequest();
}
#Override
public void onConnectionSuspended(int i) {
mGoogleApiClient.connect();
}
#Override
public void onConnectionFailed(ConnectionResult connectionResult) {
Log.i(TAG, "Connection failed: ConnectionResult.getErrorCode() = " + connectionResult.getErrorCode());
}
As soon as the googleapiclient connects, onconnected method will invoke and settingsRequest method will call.
protected static final int REQUEST_CHECK_SETTINGS = 0x1;
LocationRequest locationRequest;
public void settingsrequest() {
locationRequest = LocationRequest.create();
locationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_BALANCED_POWER_ACCURACY);
locationRequest.setInterval(30 * 1000);
locationRequest.setNumUpdates(1);
locationRequest.setExpirationDuration(20000);
locationRequest.setFastestInterval(500);
LocationSettingsRequest.Builder builder = new LocationSettingsRequest.Builder().addLocationRequest(locationRequest);
builder.setAlwaysShow(true); //this is the key ingredient
PendingResult<LocationSettingsResult> result = LocationServices.SettingsApi.checkLocationSettings(mGoogleApiClient, builder.build());
result.setResultCallback(new ResultCallback<LocationSettingsResult>() {
#Override
public void onResult(LocationSettingsResult result) {
final Status status = result.getStatus();
final LocationSettingsStates state = result.getLocationSettingsStates();
switch (status.getStatusCode()) {
case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.SUCCESS: {
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, locationRequest, this);
}
// All location settings are satisfied. The client can initialize location
// requests here.
break;
case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.RESOLUTION_REQUIRED:
// Location settings are not satisfied. But could be fixed by showing the user
// a dialog.
try {
// Show the dialog by calling startResolutionForResult(),
// and check the result in onActivityResult().
status.startResolutionForResult(MainTab.this, REQUEST_CHECK_SETTINGS);
} catch (IntentSender.SendIntentException e) {
// Ignore the error.
}
break;
case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.SETTINGS_CHANGE_UNAVAILABLE:
// Location settings are not satisfied. However, we have no way to fix the
// settings so we won't show the dialog.
break;
}
}
});
}
status.startResolutionForResult(MainTab.this, REQUEST_CHECK_SETTINGS) will show a dialog requesting location.
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
switch (requestCode) {
// Check for the integer request code originally supplied to startResolutionForResult().
case REQUEST_CHECK_SETTINGS:
switch (resultCode) {
case Activity.RESULT_OK:
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, locationRequest, this);
break;
case Activity.RESULT_CANCELED:
break;
}
break;
}
}
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, locationRequest, this) will set a listener for the location cahnged.
As the location changed onLocationChanged method will invoke.
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
prevLocation = location;
//Do you work
}
Hope this will helps you.

LocationSettingsRequest dialog never shows

So I have problem to the the LocationSettingsRequest dialog to show when GPS is not turned on.
I have been following the
SettingsApi Documentation
Here is the code:
enableGpsSetting:
public void enableGpsSetting(){
if (mGoogleApiClient == null) {
mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(context)
.addApi(LocationServices.API)
.addConnectionCallbacks(this)
.addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
.build();
mGoogleApiClient.connect();
LocationRequest locationRequest = LocationRequest.create();
locationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
locationRequest.setInterval(30 * 1000);
locationRequest.setFastestInterval(5 * 1000);
LocationSettingsRequest.Builder builder = new LocationSettingsRequest.Builder()
.addLocationRequest(locationRequest);
builder.setNeedBle(true);
//**************************
builder.setAlwaysShow(true); //this is the key ingredient
//**************************
PendingResult<LocationSettingsResult> result =
LocationServices.SettingsApi.checkLocationSettings(mGoogleApiClient, builder.build());
result.setResultCallback(new ResultCallback<LocationSettingsResult>() {
#Override
public void onResult(LocationSettingsResult result) {
final Status status = result.getStatus();
//final LocationSettingsStates = result.getLocationSettingsStates();
switch (status.getStatusCode()) {
case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.SUCCESS:
// All location settings are satisfied. The client can initialize location
// requests here.
//...
break;
case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.RESOLUTION_REQUIRED:
// Location settings are not satisfied. But could be fixed by showing the user
// a dialog.
try {
// Show the dialog by calling startResolutionForResult(),
// and check the result in onActivityResult().
status.startResolutionForResult(
MainActivity.this,
REQUEST_CHECK_SETTINGS);
} catch (IntentSender.SendIntentException e) {
// Ignore the error.
}
break;
case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.SETTINGS_CHANGE_UNAVAILABLE:
// Location settings are not satisfied. However, we have no way to fix the
// settings so we won't show the dialog.
//...
break;
}
}
});
}
}
onActivityResult
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
switch (requestCode) {
// Check for the integer request code originally supplied to startResolutionForResult().
case REQUEST_CHECK_SETTINGS:
switch (resultCode) {
case Activity.RESULT_OK:
//startLocationUpdates();
break;
case Activity.RESULT_CANCELED:
enableGpsSetting();
break;
}
break;
}
}
The changes I have made is Outerclass.this to MainActivity.this
I am extending FragmentActivity dont know if it make any differece.
Its a bit strange when the code is as the guidlines and dont work.

This problem happened to me once. (Actually today!)
I was testing something else, and at a certain point in my application is made to call this dialog to change the GPS settings. After testing several times, I was already tired of all time deny permission gps. (GPS was not important to what I was testing.) So I used the never button. And the dialog never appeared. Then when I needed him again he did not appear.
On the line
final Status status = result.getStatus()
He began to return the code 8502 - and into the switch case SETTINGS_CHANGE_UNAVAILABLE.
case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.SETTINGS_CHANGE_UNAVAILABLE:
If this is the case you can uninstall your application and re-install, the dialog change configuration reappears.

Use the following code.
protected void createLocationRequest() {
mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
.addApi(LocationServices.API)
.addConnectionCallbacks(this)
.addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
.build();
mGoogleApiClient.connect();
LocationRequest mLocationRequest = new LocationRequest();
mLocationRequest.setInterval(1000*5);
mLocationRequest.setFastestInterval(1000*2);
mLocationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
LocationSettingsRequest.Builder builder = new LocationSettingsRequest.Builder()
.addLocationRequest(mLocationRequest);
PendingResult<LocationSettingsResult> result =
LocationServices.SettingsApi.checkLocationSettings(mGoogleApiClient,
builder.build());
result.setResultCallback(new ResultCallback<LocationSettingsResult>() {
#Override
public void onResult(LocationSettingsResult result) {
final Status status = result.getStatus();
// final LocationSettingsStates = result.getLocationSettingsStates();
switch (status.getStatusCode()) {
case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.SUCCESS:
// All location settings are satisfied. The client can
// initialize location requests here.
break;
case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.RESOLUTION_REQUIRED:
// Location settings are not satisfied, but this can be fixed
// by showing the user a dialog.
try {
// Show the dialog by calling startResolutionForResult(),
// and check the result in onActivityResult().
status.startResolutionForResult(
CurrentActivity.this,
REQUEST_CHECK_SETTINGS);
} catch (IntentSender.SendIntentException e) {
// Ignore the error.
}
break;
case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.SETTINGS_CHANGE_UNAVAILABLE:
break;
}
}
});
}

Location Settings Dialog shown twice OR how to detect that dialog is shown\closed

I want to show Location Settings Dialog every time when activity in foreground and Location turned off, in onResume().
The issue: every time will be created new Settings Dialog without destroying previous one and I have stack from dialogues. By back button or by cancel button will be shown another Settings Dialog that was shown before.
Another issue if that when location is enabled from notification bar dialog still shown and I can't close it.
public class CheckLocationActivity extends FloatingActionsMenuActivity implements ConnectionCallbacks, OnConnectionFailedListener {
private GoogleApiClient googleApiClient;
#Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
showDialog();
}
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
}
private void showDialog() {
if (googleApiClient == null) {
googleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
.addApi(LocationServices.API)
.addConnectionCallbacks(this)
.addOnConnectionFailedListener(this).build();
googleApiClient.connect();
LocationRequest locationRequest = LocationRequest.create();
locationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
locationRequest.setInterval(30 * 1000);
locationRequest.setFastestInterval(5 * 1000);
LocationSettingsRequest.Builder builder = new LocationSettingsRequest.Builder()
.addLocationRequest(locationRequest);
//**************************
// builder.setAlwaysShow(true); //this is the key ingredient
//**************************
PendingResult<LocationSettingsResult> result = LocationServices.SettingsApi.checkLocationSettings(googleApiClient, builder.build());
result.setResultCallback(new ResultCallback<LocationSettingsResult>() {
#Override
public void onResult(LocationSettingsResult result) {
final Status status = result.getStatus();
final LocationSettingsStates state = result.getLocationSettingsStates();
switch (status.getStatusCode()) {
case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.SUCCESS:
// All location settings are satisfied. The client can initialize location
// requests here.
break;
case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.RESOLUTION_REQUIRED:
// Location settings are not satisfied. But could be fixed by showing the user
// a dialog.
try {
// Show the dialog by calling startResolutionForResult(),
// and check the result in onActivityResult().
status.startResolutionForResult(
CheckLocationActivity.this, 1000);
} catch (IntentSender.SendIntentException e) {
// Ignore the error.
}
break;
case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.SETTINGS_CHANGE_UNAVAILABLE:
// Location settings are not satisfied. However, we have no way to fix the
// settings so we won't show the dialog.
break;
}
}
});
}
}
#Override
public void onConnected(Bundle bundle) {
}
#Override
public void onConnectionSuspended(int i) {
}
#Override
public void onConnectionFailed(ConnectionResult connectionResult) {
}
}nSettingsStatusCodes.RESOLUTION_REQUIRED:
// Location settings are not satisfied. But could be fixed by showing the user
// a dialog.
try {
// Show the dialog by calling startResolutionForResult(),
// and check the result in onActivityResult().
status.startResolutionForResult(CheckLocationActivity.this, 1000);
} catch (IntentSender.SendIntentException e) {
// Ignore the error.
}
break;
case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.SETTINGS_CHANGE_UNAVAILABLE:
// Location settings are not satisfied. However, we have no way to fix the
// settings so we won't show the dialog.
break;
}
}
});
}
}
#Override
public void onConnected(Bundle bundle) {
}
#Override
public void onConnectionSuspended(int i) {
}
#Override
public void onConnectionFailed(ConnectionResult connectionResult) {
}
}

Use a boolean to check if the dialog as being already shown. Remember to persist in the boolean in your bundle outstate and load in onCreate so that it doesn't get lost upon rotation change.
