Can we turn on/off the GPS programatically in iPhone?



I want to know can we turn on/off the GPS programmatically in iPhone?

  1. A simple example:

    //Init location manager

    CLLocationManager* locationManager = [ [ CLLocationManager alloc] init];
    CLLocationManager* locationManager.delegate = self; //we must implement the protocol

    //Choose your accuracy level

    //To turn on gps (if it isn't on already)
    [locationManager startUpdatingLocation];

    //To turn gps off (if no other apps are listening)
    [locationManager stopUpdatingLocation];


    There is more than this, and you can monitor more or less accuracy, and even use wifi/ cell towers. Please read the example first for best usage.

  2. Well the GPS will be turned on if you use the CLLocationManager.

    The locationmanager will first start by getting the location via triangulation and then turn the GPS to get a more precise fix.

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
