Cordova geolocation Android

[Gerald_C_]

Hi everyone,

I'm having an issue with Cordova's Geolocation plugin on Android devices (and the emulator too).

First off the plugin works fine on the iphone emulator but when I try to get my location using the code:

var suc = function(p){       
        if (p.coords.latitude != undefined)
        {
            if(!is_requesting)
                findEvents(p.coords.latitude, p.coords.longitude, isForMap);          
        }
    };
    var fail = function(errorObj){
        alert("geolocation failed");  
    };
    var options = {
        maximumAge: 90000,
        timeout: 50000,
        enableHighAccuracy: true
    };
    navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(suc,fail,options);

On Android this just times out and give me the error object message:
"Timeout expired"

I've tried setting enableHighAccuracy to true (and false) but neither seems to fix my problem.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!!!

Many thanks!

Did you enable to Cordova geolocation plugin?

Yes I enabled the geolocation plugin as the plugin works fine on iPhone emulators....

Only on the android emulators and phones, I am unable to get a geolocation...

Thanks Anusha!

Weirdly enough, when I actually built the app and installed it on my phone (so not using the emulator) the app was able to retrieve a GPS coordinate so I think that possibly the plugin may not work on the emulator!

Thanks again tho, that FAQ looks really useful!
