Hello,

I was wondering if there is a way to turn the gps on and off programatically using googls location api.

Thank you for the help!

Here you'll find programmatically enabling/disabling GPS - http://www.maximyudin.com/2008/12/07/an ... rogrammno/. It's russian article but there's a code of two functions

Maxim, that uses a reflection. And as you've stated correctly that is closed in r2. Stay on older release is not an option for developers - after all we're writing for average user to be able to use our apps.
I think we need to look at sources of the cupcake to see if google will provide give an Api to turn it on and off.

Ok guys..
1) Look at Maxim's code, up to the point where it's using reflection. (or look at the source of settings screen at
http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/packages/apps/Settings.git;a=blob_plain;f=src/com/android/settings/SecuritySettings.java;hb=HEAD
)
2) Google,,, google google ..
3) And we find a blog of the Toggle author ...http://andrewoid.blogspot.com/
4) Replace reflection call with to lines of code from the blog

Using java Syntax Highlighting

 
            Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PROVIDER_CHANGED);
 
            sendBroadcast(intent);
 
Parsed in 0.030 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

And it works.
PLEASE - DON'T PUT "new" Togglestuff apps on the market - we have enough.
