-----------------------------------
Summary: Geolocation API does not work properly on Motorola Xoom
tablet (and perhaps/probably other devices)
Key: CB-3023
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-3023
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Android
Affects Versions: 2.5.0, 2.4.0, 2.3.0
Environment: Mac OS X 10.8.3, Eclipse 4.2.1, Cordova 2.5.0, Motorola
Xoom tablet running Android v4.1.2
Reporter: Jack Piccininni
Assignee: Joe Bowser
In a nutshell: the Geolocation API does not work on the Xoom tablet. The
"success" callback never gets called after getCurrentPosition() or
watchPosition().
More details... Neither the:
- navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(onSuccess, onError, { maximumAge:
2000, timeout: 5000, enableHighAccuracy: true }) nor
- navigator.geolocation.watchPosition(onSuccess, onError, { maximumAge: 2000,
timeout: 5000, enableHighAccuracy: true })
methods result in the "onSuccess" callback being called.
Without the optional options ("{ maximumAge: 2000, timeout: 5000,
enableHighAccuracy: true }") included in the methods, the "onError" callback
never (unless the default timeout is several minutes, if there is a default)
gets called either. With the options included, it does, and the timeout error
(error.message = "Timeout expired") is generated. Only the onError callback
gets called, never the onSuccess callback, when running on the Xoom.
Tested on other devices (Droid3 and iPhone) and these methods work (though
watchPosition is slow on Droid3, another bug). Manifest and inspection of
permissions look correct. Xoom is able to show its location using other apps
like Google Maps.
