Usage

import { BackHandler, DeviceEventEmitter } from 'react-native';
import LocationServicesDialogBox from "react-native-android-location-services-dialog-box";

LocationServicesDialogBox.checkLocationServicesIsEnabled({
    message: "<h2 style='color: #0af13e'>Use Location ?</h2>This app wants to change your device settings:<br/><br/>Use GPS, Wi-Fi, and cell network for location<br/><br/><a href='#'>Learn more</a>",
    ok: "YES",
    cancel: "NO",
    enableHighAccuracy: true, // true => GPS AND NETWORK PROVIDER, false => GPS OR NETWORK PROVIDER
    showDialog: true, // false => Opens the Location access page directly
    openLocationServices: true, // false => Directly catch method is called if location services are turned off
    preventOutSideTouch: false, // true => To prevent the location services window from closing when it is clicked outside
    preventBackClick: false, // true => To prevent the location services popup from closing when it is clicked back button
    providerListener: false // true ==> Trigger locationProviderStatusChange listener when the location state changes
}).then(function(success) {
    console.log(success); // success => {alreadyEnabled: false, enabled: true, status: "enabled"}
}).catch((error) => {
    console.log(error.message); // error.message => "disabled"
});

BackHandler.addEventListener('hardwareBackPress', () => { //(optional) you can use it if you need it
   //do not use this method if you are using navigation."preventBackClick: false" is already doing the same thing.
   LocationServicesDialogBox.forceCloseDialog();
});

DeviceEventEmitter.addListener('locationProviderStatusChange', function(status) { // only trigger when "providerListener" is enabled
    console.log(status); //  status => {enabled: false, status: "disabled"} or {enabled: true, status: "enabled"}
});

componentWillUnmount() {
    // used only when "providerListener" is enabled
    LocationServicesDialogBox.stopListener(); // Stop the "locationProviderStatusChange" listener
}

Configure Colors

import LocationServicesDialogBox from "react-native-android-location-services-dialog-box";

LocationServicesDialogBox.checkLocationServicesIsEnabled({
    message: "<font color='#f1eb0a'>Use Location ?</font>",
    ok: "YES",
    cancel: "NO",
    style: { // (optional)
        backgroundColor: '#87a9ea',// (optional)
        
        positiveButtonTextColor: '#ffffff',// (optional)
