Is there a way to get notified if one of the LocationProviders is enabled/disabled by the user (during running of the application)?

I don't want to use the methods in LocationListener (onProviderEnabled / onProviderDisabled) because they work only if I have already registered a listener. But I want notification about availability of the provider independent of registering the listeners...

Any ideas?
Maybe via BrodcastReceiver? (but didn't find a matching intent)
The worst solution would be a polling on LocationManager.isProviderEnabled, but I would avoid that if possible...

Thanks and regards

no ideas?

Hello Eppinator,

Wihtout registering a Listener, I would imagine that your best bet would be to make a call to getXXXProvider every so often. Not ideal, but it is a suggestion...

Good luck
