how to change the location mode to "high accuracy/battery saving" form it default mode(device only)
I'm trying to implement a google map for getting current location using this tutorial
The problem is ,It is not getting my current location untill I have started my device's google map and grant permission to access google location services. After this my application also get my current location. And it's working fine untill location is on in the device. And when location is turned off it's again need to started device's google map and grant permission for google location services.
I have already generate the key according to instructions.
I'm found the problem in device location mode.when I'm changing device mode to high accuracy/battery saving manually, it works fine.
So how to change the location mode to "high accuracy/battery saving" form it default mode(device only) programmatically
Here is the Activity code:
public class MapsActivity extends FragmentActivity implements OnMapReadyCallback,
GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks,
GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener,
LocationListener {
private GoogleMap mMap;
GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;
Location mLastLocation;
Marker mCurrLocationMarker;
LocationRequest mLocationRequest;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_maps);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
checkLocationPermission();
}
// Obtain the SupportMapFragment and get notified when the map is ready to be used.
SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
.findFragmentById(R.id.map);
mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
}
/**
* Manipulates the map once available.
* This callback is triggered when the map is ready to be used.
* This is where we can add markers or lines, add listeners or move the camera. In this case,
* we just add a marker near Sydney, Australia.
* If Google Play services is not installed on the device, the user will be prompted to install
* it inside the SupportMapFragment. This method will only be triggered once the user has
* installed Google Play services and returned to the app.

Answer
Before requesting location updates, you need to check for correct location settings as per your requirement.
Create a LocationSettingsRequest.Builder and add all of the LocationRequests that the app will be using:
LocationSettingsRequest.Builder builder = new LocationSettingsRequest.Builder().addLocationRequest(mLocationRequest);
Check whether location settings are satisfied, using
PendingResult<LocationSettingsResult> result =
LocationServices.SettingsApi.checkLocationSettings(mGoogleClient, builder.build());
When the PendingResult returns, the client can check the location settings by looking at the status code from the LocationSettingsResult object.
result.setResultCallback(new ResultCallback<LocationSettingsResult>() {
@Override
public void onResult(LocationSettingsResult result) {
final Status status = result.getStatus();
final LocationSettingsStates = result.getLocationSettingsStates();
switch (status.getStatusCode()) {
case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.SUCCESS:
// All location settings are satisfied. The client can initialize location
// requests here.
...
break;
case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.RESOLUTION_REQUIRED:
// Location settings are not satisfied. But could be fixed by showing the user
// a dialog.
try {
// Show the dialog by calling startResolutionForResult(),
// and check the result in onActivityResult().
status.startResolutionForResult(
MapsActivity.this,
REQUEST_CHECK_SETTINGS);
} catch (SendIntentException e) {
// Ignore the error.
}
break;
case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.SETTINGS_CHANGE_UNAVAILABLE:
// Location settings are not satisfied. However, we have no way to fix the
// settings so we won't show the dialog.
...
break;
}
}
});
The result of the dialog will be returned via onActivityResult(int, int, Intent)
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
final LocationSettingsStates states = LocationSettingsStates.fromIntent(intent);
switch (requestCode) {
case REQUEST_CHECK_SETTINGS:
switch (resultCode) {
case Activity.RESULT_OK:
// All required changes were successfully made
...
break;
case Activity.RESULT_CANCELED:
// The user was asked to change settings, but chose not to
...
break;
default:
break;
}
break;
}
}
For reference, read SettingsApi document which explains the case very well.
Alternatively, you can directly redirect the user to location settings page.
int locationMode = Settings.Secure.getInt(activityUnderTest.getContentResolver(), Settings.Secure.LOCATION_MODE);
Check location_mode for possible return values.
if(locationMode == LOCATION_MODE_HIGH_ACCURACY) {
//request location updates
} else { //redirect user to settings page
startActivity(new Intent(Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS));
}
