How to know when GPS was enabled?

[denebchorny]

I want to know how to check if the gps was enabled by the user after the displayed dialog or before.

I mean, using you method there could be 2 stages:

LocationServicesDialogBox.checkLocationServicesIsEnabled({
            message: "",
            cancel: "",
            ok: ""
        })  
        .then(function (success) {})
        .catch((error) => {  });

1) If the GPS is enabled (before showing the dialog) calling your method will return success 2) If the GPS is disabled (before showing the dialog) calling your method will return succes if and only if the user enable the GPS in the prompted interface

Why I need this? I have a button. If it is pressed and the GPS is disabled I show a dialog, and if the user enable the GPS in the prompted interface I dont want to continue the process instead the user has to click the button again.

In the case the GPS is enabled then there is no any dialog to show.

I don't know if you understand what I'm trying to say.

PD: I don't know if this article could be useful. In my case I don't know how to do what it says https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41795968/react-native-check-and-promp-user-to-enable-network-gps/42002015#42002015

How can I achieve this?

At the moment this feature is not supported. I can add this feature soon. (After and before client interaction)

Thanks.

I got a error : undefined is not a object (evaluating '_reactNativeAndroidLocationServicesDialogBox2.defauly.checkLocationServicesEnabled') Help please

[robado]

Getting the same error as @Sidibedev . My code looks like `import LocationServicesDialogBox from "react-native-android-location-services-dialog-box";

LocationServicesDialogBox.checkLocationServicesIsEnabled({ message: "Use Location ?", ok: "YES", cancel: "NO" }).then(function(success) { console.log(success); // success => "enabled" }).catch((error) => { console.log(error.message); // error.message => "disabled" });`

Is there something like that this isn't working with not ejected apps?
