So I have an app. It depends on user location. On lot of devices it worked fine, as I expect. There are problem with samsung s8, I checked 4 real s8 from different users and with different app that needs location, and the problem there. But now my xiaomi mi a1 (with clean android) get android security update (8.1 November) and I get same problem as on s8.
The problem: I turn off location service in settings of device. I start my app, or another app that need location (not google maps, it works awesome). I get default system dialog to turn on location services. I press OK, and one time it start location service with all sources and another time it starts gps only. The "GPS only" works very bad, I wait one - two minutes and it not give my position and not set blue dot on map. I turn off location and close app, open and again this dialog, and after "ok" it start all sources, and I get location instantly.
As I understand, the mode that will be set on start location service depends on priority of LocationRequest. So why once it set mode "all sources" and once "gps only", its about LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY
. If I try to use LocationRequest.PRIORITY_BALANCED_POWER_ACCURACY
(its my default for s8) on all devices that I checked, it will start mode "wifi and other networks", but all time the same mode.
I use FusedLocationClient. My code to start system dialog:
LocationSettingsRequest.Builder builder = new LocationSettingsRequest.Builder()
.addLocationRequest(getLocationRequest());
builder.setAlwaysShow(true);
SettingsClient client = LocationServices.getSettingsClient(this);
Task<LocationSettingsResponse> task = client.checkLocationSettings(builder.build());
task.addOnFailureListener(new OnFailureListener() {
@Override
public void onFailure(@NonNull Exception e) {
if (e instanceof ResolvableApiException) {
try {
// Show the dialog by calling startResolutionForResult(),
// and check the result in onActivityResult().
ResolvableApiException resolvable = (ResolvableApiException) e;
resolvable.startResolutionForResult(MapsActivity.this,
REQUEST_CHECK_SETTINGS);
} catch (IntentSender.SendIntentException sendEx) {
// Ignore the error.
if (sendEx.getMessage() != null) {
Crashlytics.logException(new RuntimeException("startGpsService: " + sendEx.getMessage()));
}
}
}
}
});
And my LocationRequest:
if (mLocationRequest == null) {
mLocationRequest = new LocationRequest();
if (Build.MANUFACTURER.toLowerCase().contains("samsung") &&
Build.MODEL.toLowerCase().contains("sm-g95")) {
mLocationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_BALANCED_POWER_ACCURACY);
} else {
mLocationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
}
mLocationRequest.setInterval(2000);
mLocationRequest.setFastestInterval(1000);
}
return mLocationRequest;
I'll be glad to get any suggestions.
Update, I make some tests, this is the log:

All the time when I get "location providers not enabled" it comes to onActivityResult
with (requestCode == REQUEST_CHECK_SETTINGS && resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED)
and turn on "Device only" mode.
Its looks like it depends on place where exactly was my finger on "Yes" button. Additional question: If I can make custom view for system "turn on location" dialog ?
