Google Maps Api v2 - Detect gps activation

I want to locate user using best provider enabled. When I launch my app with GPS off, the location manager will use network to get user location.

If I turn on my GPS while the app still running, the GPS will not be used because the location manager is listening network provider.

How can I detect the activation/desactivation of GPS and update user location on the map while the location manager is using the network provider ?

SOLUTION FOUND

Use locationclient, see this code example!

Use new LocationClient fused provider. It does all the hard work for you and listens for all providers when they are enabled.

Use this line to detect if the GPS was enabled by the user:

yourLocationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);

It will return true if it's enabled or ortherwise false.

But as MaciejGórski said, do yourself a favor and use the LocationClient. You will never ask yourself questions like this anymore.
