When we open Google Maps app for the first time it show a permission like this

And then when ever we open the app gps turns on automatically

Is there any way to implement it in Kodular

I want to get the lat long of the user. But it needs gps in location sensor can it automatically turn on the gps

No, you can not turn on GPS automatically / programmatically, it’s a (very sensitive) dangerous permission, Google does not allow that.

… but but you can prompt a dialog which turns on the GPS, as Mika said

but when i open google maps app gps turn on automatically

because google map is service of google itself and also at the very begning of installing google maps they also ask for permisson.

No, I am asked every time, if I want to enable GPS (on each of my 14 test devices).

How Can i Ask for user’s gps permmision?

You can do it this way. Maybe you can make the UX better if you only execute AskForPermission once when you need it.
