Turn off GPS programmatically when i exit my program

Question

I have started my GPS programmatically by Intent myIntent = new intent(Settings.ACTION_SECURITY_SETTINGS); mContext.startActivity(myIntent);

How i will turn Off GPS when i exit from my program...

Answer 1

try this:

locationManager.removeUpdates(myLocationListener); locationManager = null;

this shutdown gps for this app, but ist still available for use by other apps.

ps.: test your app on a real phone because the emulator does not show the same gps-behavior like a real phone

regards
