In this video it shows how can the user of your App turn ON the location services (GPS) of the phone/ device without navigating to the settings page.
It uses google play location services libraries for the same. Following library needs to be implemented in the gradle file for the implementation to work.
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:19.0.1In the code, it uses ResolvableApiException for popping up the location required dialog for user to give input.
I hope you like this video. For any questions, suggestions or appreciation please contact us at: https://programmerworld.co/contact/ or email at: programmerworld1990@gmail.com
