Enable GPS without close app or activity, with dialog box

Question

Dear friend I used a lot of sample codes to turn on location (gps) but no one work properly. I want to turn on Location without close app or anything. I want to turn on that over app without switch to settings or another page.

 you can use below function to enable GPS without open app. make sure before calling this 
 function below permissions granted.


<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" /> 


private fun settingsrequest() {

    var googleApiClient = GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
        .addApi(LocationServices.API).build()
    googleApiClient.connect()

    val locationRequest = LocationRequest.create()
    locationRequest.priority = LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY
    locationRequest.interval = 30 * 1000
    locationRequest.fastestInterval = 5 * 1000
    val builder = LocationSettingsRequest.Builder()
        .addLocationRequest(locationRequest)
    builder.setAlwaysShow(true) //this is the key ingredient
    val result =
        LocationServices.SettingsApi.checkLocationSettings(googleApiClient, builder.build())
    result.setResultCallback { result ->
        val status = result.status
        val state = result.locationSettingsStates
        when (status.statusCode) {
            LocationSettingsStatusCodes.SUCCESS -> {
               --> here gps on successfully 
            }
            LocationSettingsStatusCodes.RESOLUTION_REQUIRED ->
                // Location settings are not satisfied. But could be fixed by showing 
                 // the user
                // a dialog.
                try {
                    // Show the dialog by calling startResolutionForResult(),
                    // and check the result in onActivityResult().
                    status.startResolutionForResult(this, GPSDIALOG)
                } catch (e: IntentSender.SendIntentException) {
                    // Ignore the error.
                }
            LocationSettingsStatusCodes.SETTINGS_CHANGE_UNAVAILABLE -> {
            }
        }// All location settings are satisfied. The client can initialize location
        // requests here.
        // Location settings are not satisfied. However, we have no way to fix the
        // settings so we won't show the dialog.
    }
}
