can any one please help me in turning on the location services programmatically in 5.0 .

my requirement is like its a background service which will track the lat long positions .

Hi, try LocationInfo.isLocationOn(). Don't know if the method is available for OS5. It works for me on OS6 and 7x

Thanks

AFAIK, it is not possible to programatically enable the location settings.  You just have to tell the user that they need to enable them.

sorry for the incomplete post, its actually LocationInfo.setLocationOn()

Thanks

As peter_strange said, there is no inbuilt method to turn the GPS ON Progamatically.

You can well try to direct the user to to Manually turn the GPS on if the GPS is switched off. Like is done in case of say Android or Iphone applications. i.e. try to redirect the user to the turn the GPS ON.
