[android-developers] Re: How to toggle on gps in android programatically?

While you may not be able to programatically turn it on for the user
you still can assist the use by sending them to location settings to
turn it on themselves. That's at least better than just telling them
to hunt for it. The following should work:

startActivityForResult(new
Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS),
youRequestCode);
