Android Question Runtime Permission Enable Gps

[Emme Developer]

Hi to all! Is possibile to send a dialog with the request to enable the gps?

StartActivity(GPS.LocationSettingsIntent)

This code launch the setting in which you can enable the gps, but some application like Tinder implemented the direct dialog

The answer is right here. The first snippet of code is exactly what you want - AND - it works - I've tried it.

It also has a reference to runtime permissions which you will need with the new SDK's etc.

Enjoy !!

Hi! Thanks for the answer! I asked the question because i tried the snippet, and for me doesn't work as expected, but it opens the option page (no dialog). Maybe can be a problem of target sdk?

The Dialog you need to do yourself. Show an alert and after the user click on OK you call the Setting Dialog.
You can not change the setting from your app.

But how applications like Tinder achieve this? In the first screenshot i attacched, if you click on ok you don't go on setting, but you enable the gps without another next step

ask the author. I do not know a Public Api in Android for this.

Wait till September and see if Tinder still works after Google forced us to set the targetsdk to 26.
