how turn on gps in App Inventor with the activity starter

android.settings.LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS its only open the location setting

Google believes access to Location is a security issue.    Apparently this Java code once worked (  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15426144/turning-on-and-off-gps-programmatically-in-android-4-0-and-above ) using Java.  Apparently you can not change the location setting programably anymore.  You can try it.

You can use the ActivityStarter to display a screen like this with an intent

and allow the user to manually turn it on.
