Turn On GPS Programmatically

Hi Friends,

Here i am going to show you how we can start GPS pro-grammatically.

Example:

Codes :

activity_main.xml

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/textView1"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="center"
            android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
            android:text="Turn on GPS Programmatically"
            android:textStyle="bold" />

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/button1"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="center"
            android:layout_marginTop="50dp"
            android:text="Start GPS" />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/button2"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
        android:text="Stop GPS" />
    

</LinearLayout>

stop = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button2);

start.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent("android.location.GPS_ENABLED_CHANGE");
       intent.putExtra("enabled", true);
       sendBroadcast(intent);
}
});     
        
stop.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
