Description

I am developing an app with the geolocation services and there is no problem with iOS, however when I try to test it on Android, a location error occurs. [ERROR] : GeolocationModule: (main) [39266,89619] Unable to get current position, location is null I am using SDK 7.5.0GA and Android Samsung Galaxy S7 (8.0)

Hi [~pravsrivastava], please try to build your project with latest ti sdk 8.0.0.GA which can be downloaded with the command: appc ti sdk install latest Let us know if you still experience the same in latest builds. Thanks!

getCurrentLocation returns a cached location. If you have not monitored for location yet you will not get a location. Use Ti.Gelocation location event to start monitoring for the location. See docs: https://docs.appcelerator.com/platform/latest/#!/api/Titanium.Geolocation-event-location Also, include ti.playservices module to enable better geolocation support
