I was wondering if there is a way of enabling the GPS programmatically through an application without going to the menu Settings > Security & location > Enable GPS satellites. Please let me know if there is a way, I've seen this asked a million times in this group but there are never any replies.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'd like to write a simple widget that toggles GPS and network location on and off. I've read that it's not possible to do that normally, but presumably on a rooted phone it must be doable. Does anyone know what the code would be? (I only need the code to toggle the location providers, I know how to make the widget.) It doesn't matter that this isn't a 'good' solution, I don't plan to distribute the widget. If it matters, this would be on an HTC Hero, still running v1.5.

I red in these discussion groups that you cannot programmatically turn on/off the GPS : Mark Murphy was exhaustive, as always. But i found a 3rd party App, in the market, that creates a widget capable of switching the GPS on/off. How did they do it? Are they using a different SDK ?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI was hoping to write a service on Android that would list all applications installed as per previous post.Then, It would decide to update automatically some apps and install others.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to write some functional tests for my application that include interactions with the UI. As part of the test I'm trying to press a button programmatically. I've both tried TouchUtils.clickView() and Robotium (third party's utility for this task). But buttons don't get pressed. With Robotium, whose sources are simpler to understand, I can track my code until it properly generates ACTION_DOWN and ACTION_UP events. At the same time, I've tried a Robotium sample together with a small sample application, and it works perfectly. So, Robotium works and my Android SDK is ok.it must be something specific of my application. What should I check?

Now, the problem is that it tells me there is a Security Exception occurred, I guess I have no permission to access this.
