Check if Location is unavailable in Android Location Client

I would like to check if Location Client is able to provide any location. Is there any way to do so, apart from calling normal location system service?

Solution

  • The accepted answer was correct at the time. But in recent times things have changed with the availability of the SettingsApi It allows you to check if the location services are available on the device and there is a complete example provided by google on github that shows how to use this API. The sample code will prompt the user to enable location if it's switched off.
