Would like to use the following java code on my main page "on load" event to detect if gps is turned on or not. I think that the script is good its just how to put it into the tiggzi javascript function window that im having issues with. I am thinking that its all about the function () tags. Any help would be great.

function initiate_geolocation() {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(handle_geolocation_query,handle_errors);
}
function handle_errors(error)
{
switch(error.code)
{
case error.PERMISSION_DENIED: alert("GPS function not available right now");
break;
case error.POSITION_UNAVAILABLE: alert("Location services not turned on! Please enable location services prior to continuing.");
break;
case error.TIMEOUT: alert("retrieving position timed out");
break;
default: alert("unknown error");
break;
}
}
function handle_geolocation_query(position){
alert('Lat: ' + position.coords.latitude +
' Lon: ' + position.coords.longitude);
}

Hello! You have to call initiate_geolocation() function. Try to put next code on screen Load:

initiate_geolocation();
function initiate_geolocation() {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(handle_geolocation_query,handle_errors);
}
function handle_errors(error)
{
switch(error.code)
{
case error.PERMISSION_DENIED: alert("GPS function not available right now");
break;
case error.POSITION_UNAVAILABLE: alert("Location services not turned on! Please enable location services prior to continuing.");
break;
case error.TIMEOUT: alert("retrieving position timed out");
break;
default: alert("unknown error");
break;
}
}
function handle_geolocation_query(position){
alert('Lat: ' + position.coords.latitude +
' Lon: ' + position.coords.longitude);
}

Thank you. I works now....but im sure you knew that.

Hello,

I ́m using this code to alert the user to turn on the location services in order to show the nearest places..

But I ́m just showing a dialog message...which is useless..

What I want to do is what I have seen in google maps and in other apps..

is a popup that takes you directly to the location settings, or cancel.

like this,

Can someone point me on how to achieve this?

Regards

any comments here?
Thanks

Hi Alex, you should check if this possible with PhoneGap:

Hello Alex, this is system dialog, you aren't allowed change it

HI! Sergiy. I have seen apps with different messages like the above, even with the app name...

Lets say I cant change the dialog, how can I remove from an alert message the "pagename.html", because I want to ask user to turn the locations services on..

thanks

What kind of dialog you're seeing now?
