like this. just clicking the turn on button will switch on the gps without manual setting
Do not use the default Provider App Inventor uses automatically. Set your Provider to gps to continuously use the gps hardware and ignore cell towers. ![]()
You did not tell us under which circumstances you received this message. Users with Android 13 and the App Inventor Location control have never received that advice. It may be a feature of the higher Android numbered cell phones. ![]()
Someone will have to write an extension for this

To trigger the official system dialog asking the user to turn on GPS/Location Services without redirecting them to the Settings screen, use the Google Play Services Location Settings API.
This API evaluates device settings against your app's required location accuracy. If GPS is off, Android displays an in-app system popup with a "Turn On" button. Tapping it enables GPS immediately.
I have that extension; I'll post it later.
Advance thank you ![]()
