GPS Status Android

[LeonardoPlacanica]

Guys can you tell me the better way to check the status of GPS for an android application? I want to make a control to check if it is turned off or on.
Im debugging from an Galaxy S4 mini with Android 4.4.2, thank you.

Maybe this:

Code: Select all

if mobileSensorAvailable("location") is "true" then 
  answer "GPS is ON!!!"
end if

See http://livecode.wikia.com/wiki/MobileSensorAvailable

This function return me true every time (GPS on and even with GPS off), I think that this function return true if the GPS is physically available in the device not if it's on or off.

Try with: mobileCanTrackLocation(), see http://livecode.wikia.com/wiki/MobileCanTrackLocation
