How can we check GPS of an Android device is enabled or not?

In android, we can easily check whether GPS is enabled in device or not using LocationManager.

Here is a simple program to Check.

GPS Enabled or Not :- Add the below user permission line in AndroidManifest.xml to Access Location

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />



public class ExampleApp extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);

if (locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER)){
Toast.makeText(this, "GPS is Enabled in your devide", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}else{
showGPSDisabledAlertToUser();
}
}

private void showGPSDisabledAlertToUser(){
AlertDialog.Builder alertDialogBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
alertDialogBuilder.setMessage("GPS is disabled in your device. Would you like to enable it?")
.setCancelable(false)
.setPositiveButton("Goto Settings Page To Enable GPS",
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener(){
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id){
Intent callGPSSettingIntent = new Intent(
android.provider.Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS);
startActivity(callGPSSettingIntent);
}
});
alertDialogBuilder.setNegativeButton("Cancel",
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener(){
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id){
dialog.cancel();
}
});
AlertDialog alert = alertDialogBuilder.create();
alert.show();
}

}
