question: Multiple location requests at once

[stefaniebrunner]

Why do I receive on my server about 20 locations all at once? I was testing the plugin with one device and received always circa 20 requests from that only device.
Is that a configuration issue?

Android caches locations on the device when no network connection is
detected.

Once a network conn is detected, it spews them out all at once. Check the
time stamps--they'll all be staggered by ~30s.

I test Android without a SIM card, heading out for a 30min walk, for
example; once I get onto my wifi network, the cache is emptied all at once.

Yes, but I receive these amount of locations right after I start the background-service.
My device has a SIM card and it has wifi connection. I did not walk around, just sit on the coach.
When I start the service, about ~30s later I receive the locations.

Is your server returning http 200? if not, the plugin will keep on trying
to send those locations to the server.

Try deleting the app from device, re-install.

You're right. There were some older locations in the cache in case of failure response.
Thanks for the hint.

...is there a possibility to check de response state from server in the app on android? I have always locations in my cache and don't know why.
On the server I receive and print the location, there is no error. But on the second start of service I'm getting the first and second location, and at the next start of service I'm getting the first, second and third location.
I can't figure out why does the locations stay in cache. Do you have anymore ideas?

No way to check — the Android bg-geolocation plugin runs as an autonomous
server, disconnected from your main application.

Your server MUST return http status 200 for the location to be removed from
cache, otherwise the plugin tries and tries and tries.

Tail your server logs while running the app, there’s probably a 500 being
caused or something.

FYI Android has been completely refactored

• No more in-plugin HTTP -- plugin now executes your Javascript callback, just like iOS
• Significantly improved battery performance
