GPSEnabled Property

Applies to TestComplete 14.50, last modified on April 22, 2021

Description

Specifies whether GPS is enabled on the mobile device.

Declaration

Obj.GPSEnabled

Read-Write Property Boolean
Obj An expression, variable or parameter that specifies a reference to object

Applies To

The property is applied to the following object:

Property Value

True if GPS is enabled, and False otherwise.

Remarks

Some devices disallow changing GPS settings from applications. This limitation is set by the manufacturer and cannot be bypassed. To enable GPS on such devices, set the required settings manually.

Example

The code below retrieves location data from the Android device's GPS sensor, posts them to the test log and shows the location in Google Maps:

JavaScript, JScript

function PostGPSLocation()
{
  Mobile.SetCurrent("Nexus 7");
  // Enable GPS
  Mobile.Device().GPS.GPSEnabled = true;
  // Obtain location data
  var Longt = Mobile.Device().GPS.Location.Longitude;
  var Lat = Mobile.Device().GPS.Location.Latitude;
  // Output the location data
  Log.Message("The device location is:");
  Log.Message("Longitude: " + aqConvert.VarToStr(Longt));
  Log.Message("Latitude: " + aqConvert.VarToStr(Lat));
  Log.Message("Altitude: " + aqConvert.VarToStr(Mobile.Device().GPS.Location.Altitude));
  Log.Message("Accuracy: " + aqConvert.VarToStr(Mobile.Device().GPS.Location.Accuracy));
  // Open Google Maps in the browser and pass the coordinates as URL parameters
  Browsers.Item(Browsers.btIExplorer).Run("http://maps.google.com/maps?q=loc:" + aqConvert.VarToStr(Lat) + "," + aqConvert.VarToStr(Longt));
}

Python

def PostGPSLocation():
  Mobile.SetCurrent("Nexus 7")
  # Enable GPS
  Mobile.Device().GPS.GPSEnabled = True
  # Obtain location data
  Longt = Mobile.Device().GPS.Location.Longitude
  Lat = Mobile.Device().GPS.Location.Latitude
  # Output the location data
  Log.Message("The device location is:")
  Log.Message("Longitude: " + IntToStr(Longt))
  Log.Message("Latitude: " + IntToStr(Lat))
  Log.Message("Altitude: " + VarToStr(Mobile.Device().GPS.Location.Altitude))
  Log.Message("Accuracy: "+ VarToStr(Mobile.Device().GPS.Location.Accuracy))
  # Open Google Maps in the browser and pass the coordinates as URL parameters
  Browsers.Item[Browsers.btIExplorer].Run("http://maps.google.com/maps?q=loc:" + IntToStr(Lat) + "," + IntToStr(Longt))

VBScript

Sub PostGPSLocation
  Call Mobile.SetCurrent("Nexus 7")
  ' Enable GPS
  Mobile.Device.GPS.GPSEnabled = true
  ' Obtain location data
  Longt = Mobile.Device.GPS.Location.Longitude
  Lat = Mobile.Device.GPS.Location.Latitude
  ' Output the location data
  Call Log.Message("The device location is:")
  Call Log.Message("Longitude: "& aqConvert.VarToStr(Longt))
  Call Log.Message("Latitude: "& aqConvert.VarToStr(Lat))
  Call Log.Message("Altitude: "& aqConvert.VarToStr(Mobile.Device.GPS.Location.Altitude))
  Call Log.Message("Accuracy: "& aqConvert.VarToStr(Mobile.Device.GPS.Location.Accuracy))
  ' Open Google Maps in the browser and pass the coordinates as URL parameters
  Call Browsers.Item(Browsers.btIExplorer).Run("http://maps.google.com/maps?q=loc:" & aqConvert.VarToStr(Lat) & "," & aqConvert.VarToStr(Longt))
End Sub

DelphiScript

procedure PostGPSLocation;
var Longt, Lat;
begin
  Mobile.SetCurrent('Nexus 7');
  // Enable GPS
  Mobile.Device.GPS.GPSEnabled := true;
  // Obtain location data
  Longt := Mobile.Device.GPS.Location.Longitude;
  Lat := Mobile.Device.GPS.Location.Latitude;
  // Output the location data
  Log.Message('The device location is:');
  Log.Message('Longitude: ' + aqConvert.VarToStr(Longt));
  Log.Message('Latitude: ' + aqConvert.VarToStr(Lat));
  Log.Message('Altitude: ' + aqConvert.VarToStr(Mobile.Device.GPS.Location.Altitude));

  Browsers.Item(Browsers.btIExplorer).Run('http://maps.google.com/maps?q=loc:'+aqConvert.VarToStr(Lat) + ',' + aqConvert.VarToStr(Longt));
end;

C++Script, C#Script

function PostGPSLocation()
{
  Mobile["SetCurrent"]("Nexus 7");
  // Enable GPS
  Mobile["Device"]["GPS"]["GPSEnabled"] = true;
  // Obtain location data
  var Longt = Mobile["Device"]["GPS"]["Location"]["Longitude"];
