Anybody know how to enable the GPS setting automatic? Seems the "Toggle Settings" app can handle it, but I want to force open in my app sdk 2.1. some people said

 "Method m =locationManager.getClass().getMethod("updateProviders", new Class[] {});
                m.setAccessible(true);
                m.invoke(locationManager, new Object[]{});"

but in sdk2.1 locationManager class donot have updateProviders. couled you give me some directions or code?

Please help me if you have time.

Ordinary SDK applications cannot change the GPS enabled state. Only those signed by the firmware signing key can do this, via Settings.Secure.

@pengwang: Reflection cannot help, and if it does, it is a security flaw in Android that needs to be fixed. If the user disables GPS, please abide by that user's wishes. – CommonsWare Sep 19 '10 at 14:40

@FranciscoCorralesMorales: There are methods on `Settings.Secure` for changing the settings: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/Settings.Secure.html – CommonsWare Dec 17 '14 at 19:38
