Turn on GPS (and mobile data if necessary) for certain apps

[sochers]

I don't usually use turn-by-turn navigation, google maps, etc.,

But when I do - I always had to go to settings, and turn GPS on first.

So I created this flow - when I launch let's say google maps (actually basically all apps requiring GPS, like endomondo, etc), it checks if the mobile datanetwork is on (if it isn't - it turnes it on also) and then turnes on GPS.

Hope you'll like it - feel free to tweak

here's a similar flow that I like it a little better. When maps is opened, well checks to see if location services are turned on. If not, then location services page in settings for your phone its open so you can turn it on. requires you also download app called GPS toggle. Although could use with other similar app.

to be clear, my flow is for non rooted devices. Whereas the original poster has a flow for rooted devices. The main difference.
