(React Native) Huawei Location Kit - is there any way to know if network location services setting switch off?

Question

to make our apps working indoor to fetch location we need Network Location Services switch to be on

And we're using this function to detect any setting that still off

We noticed the response which is LocationSettingsStates, when the switch on or off is always true

Am I using wrong function to detect it??

Answer 1

The class and methods mentioned in the original post are the right ones to be used for checking network location service availability.

Please refer to a partial code extracted from Huawei sample code obtained from Github

public void checkSettings(View view) {
    new Thread() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            try {
                CheckSettingsRequest checkSettingsRequest = new CheckSettingsRequest();
                LocationRequest locationRequest = new LocationRequest();
                checkSettingsRequest.setLocationRequest(locationRequest);
                checkSettingsRequest.setAlwaysShow(false);
                checkSettingsRequest.setNeedBle(false);
                LocationSettingsRequest.Builder builder = new LocationSettingsRequest.Builder()
                    .addLocationRequest(checkSettingsRequest.getLocationRequest())
                    .setAlwaysShow(checkSettingsRequest.isAlwaysShow())
                    .setNeedBle(checkSettingsRequest.isNeedBle());
                settingsClient.checkLocationSettings(builder.build())
                    .addOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener<LocationSettingsResponse>() {
                        @Override
                        public void onComplete(Task<LocationSettingsResponse> task) {
                            if (task != null && task.isSuccessful()) {
                                LocationSettingsResponse response = task.getResult();
                                if (response == null) {
                                    return;
                                }
                                LocationSettingsStates locationSettingsStates =
                                    response.getLocationSettingsStates();

                                stringBuilder.append(",\nisLocationPresent=")
                                    .append(locationSettingsStates.isLocationPresent());
                                stringBuilder.append(",\nisLocationUsable=")
                                    .append(locationSettingsStates.isLocationUsable());
                                stringBuilder.append(",\nisNetworkLocationUsable=")
                                    .append(locationSettingsStates.isNetworkLocationUsable());
                                stringBuilder.append(",\nisNetworkLocationPresent=")
                                    .append(locationSettingsStates.isNetworkLocationPresent());
                                stringBuilder.append(",\nisHMSLocationUsable=")
                                    .append(locationSettingsStates.isHMSLocationUsable());
                                stringBuilder.append(",\nisHMSLocationPresent=")
                                    .append(locationSettingsStates.isHMSLocationPresent());
                                LocationLog.i(TAG, "checkLocationSetting onComplete:" + stringBuilder.toString());
                            }
                        }
                    })
                    .addOnFailureListener(new OnFailureListener() {
                        @Override
                        public void onFailure(Exception e) {
                            LocationLog.i(TAG, "checkLocationSetting onFailure:" + e.getMessage());
                            int statusCode = 0;
                            if (e instanceof ApiException) {
                                statusCode = ((ApiException) e).getStatusCode();
                            }
                            switch (statusCode) {
                                case LocationSettingsStatusCodes.RESOLUTION_REQUIRED:
                                    android.util.Log.i(TAG,
                                        "Location settings are not satisfied. Attempting to upgrade "
                                            + "location settings ");
                                    try {
                                        // Show the dialog by calling startResolutionForResult(), and check the
                                        // result in onActivityResult().
                                        if (e instanceof ResolvableApiException) {
                                            ResolvableApiException rae = (ResolvableApiException) e;
                                            rae.startResolutionForResult(CheckSettingActivity.this, 0);
                                        }
                                    } catch (IntentSender.SendIntentException sie) {
                                        android.util.Log.i(TAG, "PendingIntent unable to execute request.");
                                    }
                                    break;
                                default:
                                    break;
                            }
                        }
                    });
            } catch (Exception e) {
                LocationLog.i(TAG, "checkLocationSetting exception:" + e.getMessage());
            }
        }
    }.start();
}

The execution results when “network location service” is turned on and off are shown below. It shows the state with true and false respectively.

Answer 2

In some phone, LocationSettings interface may not be able to get the exact state.

You can set the Priority to be PRIORITY_BALANCED_POWER_ACCURACY and use requestLocationUpdatesWithCallback interface to get location update.

If the network location is not enabled, you will get the error code NETWORK_LOCATION_SERVICES_DISABLED 10105.

Then it means the switch is not enabled.
