Description
*Issue Description:*
On android when the device's GPS mode is set to GPS only then it fails to get the location coordinates. It occurs on android 6 using SDK 6.1.0.v20170309181051, 6.0.2GA, 6.0.1GA. On iOS it works fine.
*Steps to reproduce:*
1. Run the sample code in index.js file.
2. When the app opens up it'll ask for location permission. If you grant location permission, the app will alert the coordinates.
3. But if you go into the settings of the phone and set the GPS mode to "GPS only" then the app does not return the coordinates.
*Expected:*
App should return the location coordinates.
*Actual:*
It doesn't return the location coordinates in GPS only mode.
*Test Code:*
$.index.open();
if (!Ti.Geolocation.hasLocationPermissions(Ti.Geolocation.AUTHORIZATION_ALWAYS)) {
Ti.Geolocation.requestLocationPermissions(Ti.Geolocation.AUTHORIZATION_ALWAYS, function(e) {
});
} else {
getGps();
}
function getGps() {
var coords = {};
var method = "";
var providerGps = Ti.Geolocation.Android.createLocationProvider({
name : Ti.Geolocation.PROVIDER_GPS,
minUpdateDistance : 0.0,
minUpdateTime : 0
});
Ti.Geolocation.Android.addLocationRule(Ti.Geolocation.Android.createLocationRule({
provider : Ti.Geolocation.PROVIDER_GPS,
accuracy : Alloy.CFG.accuracy,
maxAge : Alloy.CFG.maxAge,
minAge : Alloy.CFG.minAge
}));
Ti.Geolocation.Android.addLocationProvider(providerGps);
Ti.Geolocation.Android.manualMode = true;
Titanium.Geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(e) {
if (e.error) {
if ( typeof errorCallback != "undefined" && errorCallback != null) {
alert(e.error);
}
} else {
method = e.provider.name;
coords = e.coords;
alert(coords);
}
});
}
Fused Location Provider would fix this
