Geolocation timed out, code 3

[avdept]

Description

I have geolocation running in my app, followed examples described in docs. IOS version works fine, android however works only on non xiaomi devices. I tried on 2 xiamomi devices, and got Location request timed out error. While on samsung devices it works fine.

Reproduction

navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(
            (position) => {
                let initialPosition = JSON.stringify(position);
                console.log(initialPosition);
            },
            (error) => console.log(JSON.stringify(error)),
            {enableHighAccuracy: Platform.OS != 'android', timeout: 2000, maximumAge: 2000 }
        );

Solution

Need to find a way either provide reason why timed out, or just fix it.

Additional Information

• React Native version: 0.42
• Platform: Android
• Operating System: Mac OS
• Dev tools: Android SDK v23

Need to check permissions on some devices before requesting navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(...):

Use https://github.com/lucasferreira/react-native-android-permissions or https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/permissionsandroid.html

Have same issue, too. Check permission is not enough. See my answer at #7495 (comment)

For anyone else struggling with this issue on android, try removing the maximumAge: 2000 option parameter. This option was causing geolocation to either timeout or crash the app.

I'm running react-native 0.46.4 btw.

Duplicate #7495

when working with map:

1. Set permission if you build app with SDK >23 (android)
2. if enableHighAccuracy is on, in that case, check if your phone is Enabled.

For those of you who still are experiencing this issue, I was able to solve it by omitting the parameter maxAge, e.g. {enableHighAccuracy: true, timeout: 5000}).

At least I can confirm this with API level 23 and RN 0.51. I also used had

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />

in the AndroidManifest.xml file.

About not using maxAge: a pull request mentions an issue with it (Clintal/react-native-picker@320003e)

[digvijayMobantica]

{ enableHighAccuracy: false, timeout: 20000, maximumAge: 1000 },

Make "enableHighAccuracy: false" works for me

[SirPhemmiey]

Guys....removing maximumAge solved the problem

[SirPhemmiey]

@digvijayMobantica , setting enableHighAccuracy: false is strongly not encouraged

You can verify the permission before calling getCurrentPosition

 if (Platform.OS === 'android') {
      const granted = await PermissionsAndroid.check(PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION);
      if (!granted) {
        return;
      }
    }

EDIT : Actually just forgot to turn on the GPS option on my emulator -..-
