How check after switchToLocationSettings() about cordova-diagnostic-plugin HOT 11 CLOSED

I tried

var locationEnabled;
function checkLocationState(){
cordova.plugins.diagnostic.isLocationEnabled(function(enabled){
locationEnabled = enabled;
}, onError);
}
document.addEventListener('resume', checkLocationState, false);
document.addEventListener('deviceready', checkLocationState, false);

but on coming back it does not trigger the resume event.

Now for the purpose of solution, i am putting a hack, like adding a timer in the app to check wheather location is on or not.

I am using ionic framework

Solution: https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova.plugins.diagnostic#registerlocationstatechangehandler

from cordova-diagnostic-plugin.

I could extend switchToLocationSettings to support a Javascript success callback, however when switchToLocationSettings() is called, the Cordova app is switched out into the background when the settings app is switched into the foreground, so the callback wouldn't be executed until the Cordova app is resumed. And in which case, you may as well re-check the location settings when the Cordova app is resumed; this will then also work if the user manually puts your app in the background (e.g using Home button), changes the location settings then returns to your app (this is the approach I've used in my apps).

For example:

var locationEnabled;
function checkLocationState(){
    cordova.plugins.diagnostic.isLocationEnabled(function(enabled){
        locationEnabled = enabled;
    }, onError);
}
document.addEventListener('resume', checkLocationState, false);
document.addEventListener('deviceready', checkLocationState, false);

Note that on Android it's possible to change location settings without putting the app into the background using the quick settings menu via the status bar pull down. Because the app remains in the foreground, the resume event is not fired, so your app may remain unaware of the change. The approach I've taken in my apps is to re-check the location settings state after the first call to the positionError handler function for navigator.geolocation.watchPosition. This way, if the user turns off location settings while the app is in the foreground, the positionError handler will be called and my app will pick up the changed setting.

@paulogr Plz help and open this issue.

@Shakti-Sharma This issue is resolved: as explained above, the switchToLocationSettings() function does not accept a callback function as a parameter due to the fact that the app will be immediately paused when the function is called, so the callback would not be executed until the app is resumed. And therefore, you may as well use the Cordova "resume" event to be notified. Using the back button in Android to return to the app does cause Cordova to fire the "resume" event as Android restores the activity to the foreground. For reference, please see the example project which makes use of the resume event in this way.

I am having same issue with iOS, I am listening for both "resume" and "deviceReady" events but none of the are triggered if user uses back button from settings, although it does triggered if users go to recent app and then selects app.
