[Android] Turning GPS on while app is running does not work? about mobile-packages HOT 7 CLOSED

Hi, I helped solve this issue, sending this PR (df1b174).
Please, update this package for version 1.0.3, and to solve your problem, you just need to run this code below to check if the GPS is turned on:

Template.gps.helpers({
    hasGPS: function() {
        return !!Geolocation.error();
    }
});

and in your template use this snippet:

<template name="gps">
    {{#if hasGPS}}
         <h1>GPS online!</h1>
    {{else}}
        <h1>GPS offline, turn the gps on and <a href="#" onclick="window.location.reload();">reload the app</a>.</h1>
    {{/if}}
</template>

Now there is a timeout of 10 seconds checking if the GPS is on, if not it throws error.

This code runs on mobile too. I hope this code can help you!

Thanks a lot! That solves the detection problem! Now we only need to find a way to not ask the user for a manual reload, as any production app would not.

I didn't find a way to create a button for turn on gps, but if you find
please share with us!

Hope this might be helpful to who reach here with this GPS problem. Plugin for phonegap/cordova to display a dialog and redirect to GPS settings when the GPS is disable. https://github.com/rodrigo-martinezd/cordova-dialog-gps
