Location access

sparcl is an application that needs location access to discover local services and content, this is why location access is requested right at the beginning when you use the app the first time.

If, for some reason, location access gets blocked after the first use, you need to re-enable it before being able to use sparcl again. The way properties work, sparcl cannot request location access again, because it’s blocked by Android to prevent applications spaming users for permissions.

To allow location access permission again, press the button Allow location. If all goes well, the location request dialog is displayed, where you can allow location access.

In case you blocked location access for sparcl before, the location request dialog isn’t shown. In that case, you need to allow location access manually among the Android Permission Manager under the Android Settings.
