Feature Request

Motivation Behind Feature

Why to use so many different parties plugins if those missions are neccassary anyway?

Feature Description

I would like to pop the GPS location services in app - without linking the user to the device's settings. This is not easy to tell him how to do that. And there he could potentially allow "Device only" location mode. This is not what I need. I want him to enable "High accuracy".
Now to tell the user to do this - this is not a good behaviour - this should be done by the app itself.

Alternatives or Workarounds

Installed a plugin that sends the user to do the job that the app supposed to do.

I understand what you're saying but I think extending the plugin to deal with user settings is out of scope of this plugin. Plugins should have one responsibility and do that one thing well. In this case, the plugin should handle receiving GPS positions upon requests.

Additionally in my experience, at least for android, setting screens are not standardised. Different flavours of android from different phone manufacturers can have different setting screens. Which makes it very difficult to have a feature that brings a user directly to a settings screen, and for it to work as expected across all android devices.

So adding APIs in this plugin to open up the GPS settings screen is something I would down vote on. Something like that makes more sense to be its own plugin in my opinion, and it makes more sense that plugin be more generic to open any screen, not just GPS.
