Phonegap/Cordova geolocation not working on Android
- by Kreeki
I'm having a trouble to get Geolocation working on Android in both emulator (even when I geo fix over telnet) and on device. Works on iOS, WP8 and in the browser.
When I ask device for location using the following code, I always get an error (in my case custom Retrieving your position failed for unknown reason. with null both error code and error message).
Related code:
successHandler = (position) ->
resolve App.Location.create
lat: position.coords.latitude
lng: position.coords.longitude
errorHandler = (error) ->
error = switch error.code
when 1
App.LocationError.create
message: 'You haven\'t shared your location.'
when 2
App.LocationError.create
message: 'Couldn\'t detect your current location.'
when 3
App.LocationError.create
message: 'Retrieving your position timeouted.'
else
App.LocationError.create
message: 'Retrieving your position failed for unknown reason. Error code: ' + error.code + '. Error message: ' + error.message
reject(error)
options =
maximumAge: Infinity # I also tried with 0
timeout: 60000
enableHighAccuracy: true
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(successHandler, errorHandler, options)
platforms/android/AndroidManifest.xml
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_LOCATION_EXTRA_COMMANDS" />
www/config.xml (just in case)
<feature name="Geolocation">
<param name="android-package" value="org.apache.cordova.GeoBroker" />
</feature>
Using Cordova 3.1.0. Testing on Android 4.2. Plugin installed. Cordova.js included in index.html (other plugins like InAppBrowser are working fine).
$ cordova plugins ls
[ 'org.apache.cordova.console',
'org.apache.cordova.device',
'org.apache.cordova.dialogs',
'org.apache.cordova.geolocation',
'org.apache.cordova.inappbrowser',
'org.apache.cordova.vibration' ]
I'm clueless. Am I missing something?
