Checking if location services are enabled using react native

I am currently working on an app using react native that requires location services to be on for some of its features. I have been researching if there is a simple way to test if the user has them turned on or not so I can display a different view if they aren't. I have not found any results other than ones that are specific to IOS or Android. Has anyone else found a solution to this?

Solution

  • I was able to solve this by displaying an error message when the location could not be retrieved. 

    (error) => {
        this.setState({servicesOn: false}),
        console.log(error);
      },
