geofence doesnt trigger

[Lir10]

Amazing lib!
I made some intent service that implements location listener , activity listener and geo fencing listener all works but geo fencing listener doesnt trigger .

is this issue known to happen ? or is it some bug ?

Thanks.

after a few resets of my phone + reset the app i got trigger but still it looks like it's not stable and im not sure why :/

You have to play around with the distances a bit, as the geofencing is a bit flakey. This is not a library issue, it's more of a play services issue. For me it has worked nice with around 150m of radius.

Thanks for the answer...
Yeah you are right , google play services has some bugs ( like i said when i reboot the phone suddenly it's working) .

another little question :
Im also listening to location updates with the default settings. right now i can see that i got location 15 minutes ago and im not moving . how frequently i should see location updates with the default settings?

Thanks.

strange looks like the location updates are not received at all with the default settings ( BEST_EFFORT).

im testing it already for 30 minutes and still no update.

Google geolocation sucks

Update

After testing it for a day my conclusions are:

1. to listen for background activity recognition / location updates you need to create a Service and not an intent service that will listen.
2. geofencing does not work properly with that same service for some reason . I guess broadcast receiver would be a better thing for that.
