How to tell if a device is working in high precision mode

How to tell if a device is in high precision mode.

When Google Map opens in device only mode, you are asking you to switch to high precision mode. I need to implement such a thing. But I couldn't find an API that would let us know about the location mode.

update: I need to know this from the code. I need to know if the device is currently only in device mode, battery saving mode, or high precision mode.

In 4.4 KITKAT

Go to Settings> Location

By default, only the device is used

enter image description here

Press MODE

enter image description here

there are three options



make changes as needed

update (via code)

if you want to install

mLocationRequest=LocationRequest.create();
mLocationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);

if you want to know

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT){
    try {
        locationMode = Settings.Secure.getInt(context.getContentResolver(),Settings.Secure.LOCATION_MODE);

        } catch (SettingNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        }

    return (locationMode != Settings.Secure.LOCATION_MODE_OFF && locationMode == Settings.Secure.LOCATION_MODE_HIGH_ACCURACY); //check location mode

}else{
    locationProviders = Settings.Secure.getString(context.getContentResolver(), Settings.Secure.LOCATION_PROVIDERS_ALLOWED);
    return !TextUtils.isEmpty(locationProviders);
}

If you are dealing with locations, you probably have to use LocationProvider

.

I think you can get all your answers by applying methods to active LocationProvider

, eg getName()

.



Read here about the available methods.
