Is there an api in this plugin to check if precise location is enabled? #1227

Your Environment

I would like to tell whether a user has precise location turned on. I have found this section of the docs but it is iOS only. https://pub.dev/documentation/flutter_background_geolocation/latest/flt_background_geolocation/ProviderChangeEvent/accuracyAuthorization.html

Is it possible to detect it in general for android as well?

I found another plugin with this sort of thing, which would be ideal here but I would rather not add a new plugin just for this one boolean. https://pub.dev/documentation/geolocator/latest/geolocator/LocationAccuracyStatus.html

See api docs .providerState. Also event onProviderChange

I see, so accuracyAuthorization should also work on android and be a 1 or 0 depending on that status of that?

From the docs I interpreted it as iOS only

christocracy commented 4 months ago

Try it and see. The docs are old

It seems to work on my samsung Galaxy A53. Should it work fine on most other android devices and iOS devices below 14 as well?

There's no reason to doubt it wouldn't.

MilesAdamson commented 4 months ago

I mean, there is a reason to doubt it if the docs are old and only make mention of iOS14 specifically. You could just say "yes"
