Android studio project screen

Step 1:
Open AndroidManifest.xml and add Internet Permission.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
Step 2:
Create new Class:- CommonClass.kt
CommonClass.kt
Create new class CommonClass.kt and Add following code.
package com.kotlinkatta.gpsenable

import android.content.Context
import android.content.Intent
import android.location.LocationManager
import android.provider.Settings

class CommonClass {

    fun checkGpsStatus(context: Context): Boolean {
        lateinit var locationManager: LocationManager
        var gpsStatus = false
        locationManager = context.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE) as LocationManager
        gpsStatus = locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER)
        if (gpsStatus) {
            return true
        } else {
            return false
        }
    }

    fun open_Gps_Screen(context: Context) {
       val intent = Intent(Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS);
        intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK)
        context.startActivity(intent);
    }
}
Step 3:
MainActivity.kt
Add following code into MainActivity.kt
package com.kotlinkatta.gpsenable

import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity
import android.os.Bundle
import android.widget.Button
import android.widget.TextView

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    lateinit var txt_response: TextView
    lateinit var btn_enable_gps: Button

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)

        txt_response = findViewById<TextView>(R.id.txt_response)
        func_Check_Gps_Status()

        btn_enable_gps =  findViewById<Button>(R.id.btn_enable_gps)
        btn_enable_gps.setOnClickListener {
            CommonClass().open_Gps_Screen(applicationContext)
            func_Check_Gps_Status();
        }
    }

    private fun func_Check_Gps_Status() {
        if (CommonClass().checkGpsStatus(applicationContext) === true) {
            txt_response.setText("GPS Enable")
        } else {
            txt_response.setText("GPS Disable")
        }
    }

    override fun onResume() {
        super.onResume()
        func_Check_Gps_Status()
    }
}
Step 1:
activity_main.xml
Add following code into activity_main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:orientation="vertical">

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/btn_enable_gps"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="60dp"
            android:text="Click To Open GPS Enable/Disable Screen"
            android:layout_gravity="center"
            android:textAllCaps="false"/>

        <TextView
            android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
            android:id="@+id/txt_response"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text=""
            android:layout_gravity="center"
            android:gravity="center"
            android:textSize="20dp"/>

    </LinearLayout>
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
