Hi,

I have a Canvas App and on one screen I need user's location (I'm saving longitude and latitude in a context variables). The problem is, that I'd like the app to ask for permission on user's location only when that screen opens. Now it asks for it when the app opens. Is there any way to accomplish this kind of behavior?

(there is also possibility to not give permission for location and that is handled differently in the app)

Yeah I tried that but still the app asks permissions when the app starts, not when the screen is visible

Hi @kaisalo

You can use the OnVisible property of the Location Screen

I dont know where you have it now but more it to the above mentioned.
